Generate Trivia Questions for a Quiz Night
You're running a quiz and need questions that are tough enough to satisfy without being so obscure the room goes quiet. Give it your topic and group, and this writes ten questions spread across difficulty so everyone gets a few and nobody gets none. Good for the host who'd rather not spend the afternoon googling capital cities.

<task>
**Create a quiz round of 10 questions**
1. Write 10 questions on {QUIZ_TOPIC}, spread across three difficulty levels: 4 accessible questions (most people should get these), 4 moderate questions (a well-read person might get these), and 2 challenging questions (specialists or trivia enthusiasts).
2. For each question, write the correct answer and one plausible but wrong alternative that makes a good distractor for multiple-choice.
3. Add one bonus question worth double points that requires a multi-part answer.
**Format for the quiz master**
4. Present the questions in the order to read them aloud, with the answer in brackets after each question so the quiz master does not have to switch between sheets.
