INTERESTING MOMENTS
When asked about local streets, one team spent 30 minutes making an exhaustive map of Sydney streets… only to completely forget that Castlereagh Street exists.
A question about one word English football clubs, one team went with Inter Milan… which is two words, and decidedly not English.
In misspellings, we got “saxopooisg”. And we still don’t know what it means.
And we’re about half way through the quarterly tournament.

INTERESTING MOMENTS
We have a team that always guesses Dua Lipa when they hear a modern female singer they don’t know. And they were thrilled that it paid off.
Someone mistook the film Wedding Crashers for Schindler’s List. That holocaust movie would have had a VERY different tone.
Julia Louis Dreyfus was mistaken for Julia Gillard. That would have made both Seinfeld and Prime Ministers question time very different.
And our leaders are still on top, but with a lower scoring win this week they lost their lead on highest average.
