Another one I like is "Which is further west, Edinburgh or Liverpool?" First it weeds out those who know east and west, then there's the double bluff element, then finally everyone has a 50-50 chance anyway. Just as pub quiz questions should be.

Do they have to be the answer to the questions we posed? or just random answers. That would make an interesting quiz.

Yes.
"Professor Hans-Henrik Stolum, an earth scientist at Cambridge University has calculated the ratio between teh actual length of rivers from source to mouth and their direct length as the crow flies. Although the ratio varies from river to river, the average value is slightly greater than 3, that is to say that the actual length is roughly three times greater than the direct distance. In fact the ratio is approximately 3.14, which is close to the value of the number pi... The ratio of pi is most commonly found for rivers flowing across very gently sloping planes, such as those found in Brazil or the Siberian tundra."
