I know this because I was in a pub quiz where we were asked 'What was invented in a bacykyard in the 1880's.' and we guessed cocaine

If only we had just answered 'coke'!

I am a pub quiz regular. Our team pools the coin we win in a pot and have over 500 quid in it for a night out.

A 5 pointer we got asked once was to name the 5 Tudor monarchs from 1485.

Yours truly got them.

Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary and Elizabeth I.

Unfortunately you'll already be at your quiz, and so this fact will reach you too late. However, "goat" spelled backwards is "taog". Best of luck.
