Well.. no easy question this! Yet, quizzes are a lot about instinct and intuition. And that is driven by the everyday lives that we live. How many times do we pause to wonder and question? This line could so easily be one of the oft-repeated lines in a classroom back when we were all growing up. Question things, ponder about why things are the way they are etc. etc.
Nevertheless, gyan without actual solutions can be irritating so it's always good to have actionable things at hand to actually answer the question the title of this article has posed.
Let's take a look at the digital and physical resources we have at hand for our preparation:-

5. Quizmasters have a beautiful way of twisting questions yet all of them lead to the same answer. This would involve knowing every single aspect and perspective an answer can be sought by framing it differently. Let's understand with an example below.
Let's say the answer is Mcdonald's Golden Arches logo. Let's see how different types of questions can lead to this same answer.
Question 1
This is one of the most recognizable logos in the world. It came about when two brothers Richard and Maurice wanted a design element for their outlets that would stand out and be visibly appealing even when viewed from a long-distance away. Richard had been to outlets in his industry previously and thus wanted a similar experience as described above. In late 1952, this logo came about in physical form and later was simply made part of the logo even as the physical designs were taken off from its outlets across the world. What are we talking about?
Answer - McDonald's Golden Arches logo
Question 2
__________ of Conflict Prevention was proposed by economist Thomas Friedman to explain how globalization has a direct bearing on foreign policy and conflict. The theory proposed that no two countries with Y can ever go to war with each other. The premise for such a theory lays in the fact that when two countries become integrated with each other due to Y, both countries tend to pursue a cost-effective economic resolution to disputes. Thereby, the chance of war comes down. This theory has been updated to be now called the Dell theory of conflict prevention by Friedman. FiIl in the blanks.
Answer - Golden Arches
Question 3
Architect Stanley Clark Meston was selected to bring this idea to life. This was after brothers Richard and Maurice interviewed at least 4 architects before selecting Meston for the job. This iconic project resulted in the creation of the one of the most recognisable visual identities in the world. What did Meston create after being elected to do so in late 1952?
Answer - Golden Arches design for McDonald's which later became part of the logo
Question 4
Charles Fish aided Stanley Clark Meston in the design for X. He remarks that the idea stemmed from his familiarity with the form from a school project in which he used structural parabolas for a hangar.
What is X?
Answer - McDonald's Golden Arches
Question 5
What iconic logo was first executed by sign contractor George Dexter in physical form back in the early 1950s. The first outlet bearing this physical form of the identity opened in May 1953 in Phoenix, Arizona.
Answer - McDonalds Golden Arches
Question 6
While the company dropped the physical form of this visual identity from most of its outlets in the 1960s, the visual identity continued to remain in the logo. The logic in part was due to Louis Cheskin's argument that the logo had Freudian applications to the subconscious mind of the consumer and would prove to be great assets in marketing the company's products.
Answer - Golden Arches logo
There you go.. that's 6 different ways of seeking the same answer. Quizzing is beautiful as it forces you to relook at things you know in a different light.
Do share your own versions of how you could ask questions about the Golden Arches.
