How well do you think you'd do in university challenge?
Just watched it, could answer like 2 questions in the whole fucking thing.

Where can we find the questions?

I'm going to be on it next year. That's all I can reveal - not telling you my University. All I can say is, the show (and quizzing) in general is much easier than it seems, and most humanities related answers to questions are simply inferences or educated guesses.
If you want some perspective, I average around 24 questions right an episode, including bonuses. And I know that because the team has made me calculate it.
University Challenge is easy. If it's a long question, just ignore the first part of background information which is put there to confuse you. Focus on the actual information at the end.
I remember watching it the other day and during the picture round they couldn't name the sculpture of the Roman emperor. It was the most famous sculpture that exists of Augustus from Livia's villa lmao, probably the easiest question you could ever get and none of them got it.

Exactly this. For example, if the question begins with some obscure, lengthy literary quote, and then follows with "which French philosopher said this?" You can just ignore the quote and think of, say, Descartes or Voltaire, and the chance is one of those will be right.
Only Connect is much harder.

They ask far more questions than it appears. You watch it in awe at these clever mentalist, getting nearly every question right. In reality they get loads wrong and it gets edited out.
