I’m Clive, the curator of the A to Z Trivia Channel. Hailing from Britain but calling the UAE home for nearly two decades, my passion for quizzes and community engagement inspired me to create a unique trivia experience on RU-vid.
Ditching the typical multiple-choice format, my channel offers a snappy 26-question challenge that aligns with the English alphabet - one intriguing question for each letter, all wrapped up in an 8-minute quiz. The images serve as nifty hints (although beware of the occasional cryptic clue!).
Here’s what sets us apart:
Swift & Smart: You’ve got just 12 seconds per question - it’s a mental sprint! Diverse Domains: From general knowledge to science, history to geography, I cater to all curiosity types. Special Segments: Look out for quizzes themed around sports events and music maestros.

Absolute disaster. So bad I gave up counting my score. It's a good job that general knowledge quizzes don't determine IQ. If they did my score would define me as a mushroom.
Thanks Clive. 15/26. Small fact, some people find the words Yeoman, Yeovil and Yeo Valley (yoghurt) incredibly easy to say but when it comes to my surname Yeo it is painful to listen to. I now look back to school and think it must have been easy for the other kids as my first name is Jo so I had a Nick name type name if that makes sense. Very frustrating for a Cornish lass who has never lived outside of the county. Thanks for the quiz.
17 right today. Tricky questions too. Some I almost didn't get in time. Some, I'd not even heard of like "Q". But that's not a programme I'd ever watch anyway. I knew the answer to "O", but didn't get it. I believe it's called a _Brain fart!_ 🤔🥴 "P" Did you know that a lot of old estate houses had the "P" word finials adoring their exterior as a sign of wealth? And if they were on the gate posts, it would show warmth to welcome visitors. "X" done me again. Where's my dictionary gone? "Z" One of my all time favorite films. And the prequel to it about _Dawn_ is also a good film, if not quite as good. But if you've ever read up on the Battle of Isandlwana _(The only time a British Army were defeated by natives.),_ we made many errors. Troops stood too far apart. Their Martini Henry rifles due to the humidity and the gunpowder used at the time clogged up the rifles and after a few rounds, were pretty much useless. The outcome of it all was Queen Victoria ordered 20,000 British troops to go to Africa and they eventually defeated the Zulus. Nice set of questions though. So thank you. ☺👍
18 right. 8 missed. But those 8 missed were really good questions. Some I knew, but couldn't answer fast enough. "T" Marc Bolan, the lead singer of that "T" band, had a premonition that he'd die before he was 30. When the purple Mini 1275GT _(Bolan's own car.)_ he was a passenger in went over a hump backed bridge, the driver lost control and hit a fence before hitting a Sycamore tree. Marc was dead at the scene. Just 29 years old and just 14 days before his 30th birthday too! "X" Finally. I got one right! 😇 Great set of questions Mr. Quiz master. 😉👍
18 out of the 26. "P" Christmas dinner is *_NOT_* a Christmas dinner without P's in B's! "X" I always get this wrong. Great set again. Even if I'm doing this, technically, on Monday morning. 👍
Oh dear, 10. Don’t know any actors/TV/sport and couldn’t come up with some things that I should know. Got as far as poly but couldn’t think of ‘glot in time.
18 right today. 3 hit the bar. 3 complete miskicks. "C" Never knew that one. I guessed the other country ending in "a" as I assumed, wrongly, that they Lupins were from Asia. 🤔🤷♂ "N" Never heard of him. I was 2 when he died. But I did get half of the answer right. The nineteen bit. 🤔😲 😇 "W" Would warmer also be the right answer? 🤔😲 😁 "X" Yet again. Got the "X" question wrong. 🥴☹ "Z" Got half right. The first bit. So if I got 2 x 1/2's, then I should, in theory, get an extra point? 🤔🤷♂ Great set again. Thank you. 👍
What an interesting quiz, Clive! How did I get on? Now, let's see: I think I scored 18/26, which is nothing to write home about, my friend. At least I learned various things that I hadn't heard of before. So, thank you! 😊
Going back to bed after that lot. 12 right!!?? As for "P" I can only suggest that was a females idea to name them all as they wouldn't have accepted them being called by what we call them now. And I'll have to study up on words beginning with "X". A great set of questions though. 😀👍
Ooops! Missed this one yesterday. Too busy. But I managed to get a respectable 18 right though. "D" What a brilliant film that was. When I get the chance to watch it, I will. "H" And this is precisely how some names come into the normal English language as a normal word. "R" Quite probably one of the funniest people ever to grace the screen. 😅🤣😂 👍 "V" And congratulations on pronouncing that word. 😀👍 Great set of questions. 👍 I'll do Fridays later. TTFN
Thank you as always.... D is a good movie, not seen the remake, will try and watch it soon.. H, that's one for everyone to remember. R, yes he was a very funny guy, for V, I had to look up the pronunciation, it took me a few takes, and in the end I spliced two parts together (Giving all my secrets away lol) 👍
