INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked a question about the solar system, one player asked if we were asking a trick question, and was told that we don’t ask trick questions, but we will allow you to trick yourself… and he went ahead and tricked himself.

A player asked a host with no hair if they could demonstrate what a Pompadour hairstyle looked like. Uhhhh… no.

We asked about Hitler & Stalin living in the same neighbourhood in Vienna, and one team said it sounded like the premise of an awful sitcom.

We asked for South American countries, and one team put Chile twice. Well, they were right once.

And instead of studying up on Macedonia, one team studied up on Montenegro, because they misread the homework e-mail.

See you next week.
