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.

We asked about body counts in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and had to clarify that we weren’t talking about how many people Legolas and Aragorn had slept with.

And a team who finished last had a team name that indicated they thought the earth is flat. No big surprise there.

See you next week.

I have a poison joke and it kills

I have a sodium joke but Na

INTERESTING MOMENTS

The Canterbury Tales were written by Megan Markle in 2023… apparently.

One of our bonus round questions was about Scandinavian capitals. Every team either put three points on it and said Stockholm and were wrong, or put Copenhagen and were right but put zero points on it.

Albinos and Gingers were put on the same level as Vampires in a Google auto-complete question.

And one team recognised an instrumental version of Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves in the first half, and guessed Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves three more times for the audio questions in the second half. It seems someone is a big fan.

See you next week.
