INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked what band Paul McCartney left in 1970, and overheard one team ask “was Paul McCartney in another band before Wings?”

We asked five 50/50 questions about coffee consumption per capita, and one team got zero out of five. Then another got zero out of five. Then two more got zero out of five. All in all, half of the team playing got five straight 50/50s wrong. We would do the math, but the numbers are really getting out of hand.

When we asked about what percent of Australians said they had experienced loneliness in the past week, EVERY SINGLE TEAM overshot the mark, sometimes going for an answer that was double the actual answer. Evidently there’s a lot of loneliness among our players.

And it’s going to be tough to catch our quarterly tournament leaders, but the highest average is still close.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We always read out the question twice. You don’t have to ask us to repeat it. And you DEFINITELY don’t have to stop us while we are in the process of reading the question to ask us to read it again.

One team learned that just because a random guy who isn’t playing and is only half listening to trivia yells out an answer loud enough for the whole room to hear, doesn’t mean he has the slightest idea what he’s talking about.

Who betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver? Jerry Seinfeld.

And our leaders are maintaining their spot first place. They’re going to be touch to catch unless someone takes them down at their home venue in Canterbury.
