Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 27 April 2025

Uncategorized,

We’ve all seen the cringeworthy Katy Perry story about her putting the ass in astronaut.

With your team name this week, we want you to claim expertise or status on similarly dubious grounds.

I’ve seen ER, so I can totally perform a tracheotomy.

I’m a frequent flier, so I should be landing the plane.

Playing backyard cricket qualifies me for the Ashes.

Duolingo made me fluent in Japanese.

Any dubious claims of expertise will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We had team guess that Tim Cahill’s 50 goals represent 91% of all goals ever scored by the Socceroos. That would mean one player in 14 years scoring 50, and the rest of the team over more than a century scoring just 5.

And nobody has a perfect record anymore, but there are still plenty of teams in the hunt in our quarterly tournament.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked a question about Olympic weightlifting, literally every team was miming the clean & jerk (with somewhat dodgy form).

One team won a quiz by a single point that they got because of cultural knowledge they picked up by watching the Simpsons.

When asked about Australian Prime Ministers, one team answered “Clive Palmer”. Don’t even joke about that!

And we’ve still got three undefeated teams in our weekly tournament.
