INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team came back from second last at half time to win, in part because most of the other teams didn’t do the homework. DO. YOUR. HOMEWORK.

We found out that one of our players was inspired by the film Bad Teacher to become a teacher.

When we asked about states in US, Presidential elections, one team asked if we were including Australian states. Uhhhhh… no.

And after 13 weeks, one team came in first in our quarterly tournament with a near perfect 12 wins.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We gave a series of 50/50 options on a question about Macbeth, and our options fooled a team of Scottish people. The following night, a Scotsman was beaten to the punch on a Loch Ness Monster question.

A day of the week that comes after Saturday? Sabbath. Well that’s more complicated than it needed to be, but yes.

One player was bugging us for a hint on one question, we gave him one, and it tipped him from having the correct answer to having a wrong answer. The lesson… be careful about asking for hints.

See you next week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 16 June 2024

This week we want you to think of some of your favourite characters from years ago, and imagine them grown up. Like maybe the Middle Aged Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Lisa Simpson dropped out of graduate school and plays saxophone at open mic nights

Eric Cartman was elected to Congress and is being considered as Donald Trump’s running mate

Lilo was taken away by social services and raised in foster care

Charlie Bucket took over the chocolate factory, which had to close after litigation from the families of the other children

Dorothy had PTSD after visiting Oz and wound up an alcoholic

Pepe Le Pew was jailed for sexual assault

Any grown up versions of children’s characters will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.
