Quiz - Patron Saints of Nothing by Randy Riba

Recall named characters, places, dates and events from across the whole novel

Give the meaning of the Filipino words the novel uses, including Kuya, nanay, tatay, malungkot ako, Bakit and shabu

Place the story's setting - the Philippines, its seas, its language and the distance from Manila to the Bicol Region - alongside its Michigan chapters

The page column is what makes this workable as a live round: a disputed answer can be checked against the book immediately rather than argued

Rows run in book order, so a round can be limited to a section of the novel by taking a page range instead of sorting the whole list

The opening rows reference the cover and the map endpapers, which are exactly the pages many readers skip - useful as a warm-up, but flag them to a team beforehand

Close recall of narrative detail - questions ask for named people, objects, dates and places, each answered in a word or a short phrase.

Locating evidence by page - every row carries the page of the novel the answer comes from, so a claim can be traced back to the text.

Vocabulary from the novel's languages - Kuya, Tito, Tita, nanay, tatay, malungkot ako, Bakit and shabu are each defined through a question and answer.
