A weird quiz

Quiz time

It's time for something a little different. Read the conversation below. It's between a quizmaster - someone who asks questions in a quiz, and a contestant - someone who takes part in a quiz. At the end the contestant gets 6 points. But how can this be?

Hint: Is this actually a general knowledge quiz or is the quizmaster testing the contestant about the theme of this session?

Quizmaster
What is the capital of Uzbekistan?

Contestant
I don't know.

Quizmaster
What is the distance from the earth to the moon?

Contestant
Beats me.

Quizmaster
What's the chemical symbol for gold?

Contestant
No idea.

Quizmaster
Who invented the microscope?

Contestant
I haven't got a clue.

Quizmaster
What's the longest river in the world?

Contestant
Sorry, I don't have the faintest idea.

Quizmaster
How deep is the Pacific Ocean at its deepest point.

Contestant
I don't have the foggiest.

Quizmaster
When were the pyramids built?

Contestant
You've got me there.

Quizmaster
Congratulations! At the end of that round you have scored 6 points! Well done.
