Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 29 October 2023

It’s Halloween, so it’s time to think about scary movies.

Specifically, we want you to think about how characters in horror films could have made better decisions.

Maybe don’t pick up that creepy hitchhiker

Do a residential inspection before moving into a haunted house

Don’t split up to explore that cave

Bullets are cheap, so keep shooting the serial killer

Any advice on how to survive a horror film will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Asking a question about the average length of hugs, led to literally dozens of hugs as teams tested their theories.

Who walked into a shop in Busselton, WA last week? No it wasn’t Nicolas Cage, it was Harold Holt. You know, at the age of 115 after being declared dead in the 60s.

We asked how to spell semillon, and were glad to see the wine list didn’t include semillon.

When we asked about Robin Wright, one team said “I don’t even know who that guy is”. SO we explained that Robin Wright is a woman.

And one team did so well at our one second songs bonus round, that they handed their answers in after just two hearings… and got all five. That was worth a bonus point that vaulted them into winning a prize.

See you next week.
