Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 18 August 2024

Uncategorized,

Recently we we’re writing questions and came across the name of Welsh rugby player Alun Wyn Jones, and thought that was abut the most aggressively Welsh name it’s possible to have.

So that’s going to be our team name theme this week.

We want you to pick a group, and make your team name the most stereotypical name for that group.

Shazza Vegemite

Georgios Papadopoulous

Sean O’Guinness

Jacques LeMoustache

Ivan Vodkarov

Becky PumpkinSpice

Any stereotypical names will get you a bonus point..

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When given a series of yes/no questions about films, one team got all five wrong. That’s pretty rare, but it also meant that they thought that the events of 12 Years a Slave took place in the 1960s.

We had to explain to one team the Scotlandia is not a country beginning with S and ending with A.

One of our winning teams wanted to take their answer sheet back to the office to frame it.

And our leaders had an off week and didn’t add to their totals, but we do have a new team in the lead on average winning score.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 11 August 2024

Uncategorized,

This week we’re putting you in the movies.

But not in a major role.

For your team name this week, we want you to tell us what role you would play if you were a minor background character in a film.

Depressed guy in corner

Guy who gets killed to show the situation is serious

Joyless neighbour who calls the police on underage teens

Pedestrian jumping out of the way of speeding car

Girl being catcalled by main villain

Any minor character you would be ideally placed to play will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

WINNERS

If you won, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked about how many Friday the 13ths there are in 2024, half the team methodically calculated things, and half just took a guess. And the results were about the same for both groups.

One team got every question in round 1 right, with the exception of the title of an Ariana Grande song, which they will remember until the day they die.

We had a team come all the way from Cronulla, and they got a question on Cronulla wrong.

Who was Prime Minister in 2001? Steve Irwin wasn’t it?

And our overall leaders in the quarterly tournament are steady, but we have new leaders on highest average.
