began as an idea conceived by British engineer and industrialist Sir Hugh Beaver, the managing director of the Guinness Brewery, to solve trivia questions among bar patrons. During the early 1950s Beaver was involved in a dispute during a shooting party about the fastest game bird in Europe; however, the answer could not be found in any bird reference book.

Wow. That guy sure was serious about bird trivia!

Thanks, esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie!
