Subject Areas
| This section may contain original research. |
At the college and high school level, most questions are on all general subjects, including literature; history; science and math; social sciences; fine arts; geography; religion, mythology, and philosophy; and general knowledge. Question distribution over subjects and the number of questions on each varies in each format. Questions are asked on topics such as popular culture to a lesser extent and are referred to as "Trash."
Subjects in "Trash" games are generally considered to include current events, sports, pop culture, and some parts of the general knowledge catch-all. Much of traditional non-academic trivia falls under this heading.
