The Bitcoin Pub Quiz is an annual event typically held in Arnhem Bitcoin City. This year, however, we had a special Noderunners edition at the Noderunners Conference in Amsterdam, featuring more challenging questions and some inside jokes. I'm grateful to Sam Wouters, @André Loja , @Super Testnet , Molly White, and @Truus for contributing videos with questions. Below, you’ll find this years questions, with answers provided on the final sheet. Let me know how many answers you knew or which questions you liked! Reading these questions here is not comparable to participating in the Bitcoin Pub Quiz alongside fellow bitcoin enthusiasts. You don't see how other teams respond, and you miss the lively discussions happening within each group. This is particularly true in cases of miscommunication, like when answer "E" —pronounced "A" in Dutch— creates confusion. Additionally, I provide funny facts and context with each question, that is missing in these sheets. And let’s not forget the speed questions, where the first person to shout the correct answer scores for their team, but a wrong answer results in a deduction. I hope to see you once IRL at the Bitcoin Pubquiz (in Arnhem Bitcoin City)! And of course congratulations to Team9 with @Jesse de Wit for winning this years Bitcoin Pubquiz!

One of the paratroopers accidentally landed among the audience:
