Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 4 May 2025

Uncategorized, ,

The Cardinals are meeting in the Vatican to choose a new Pope.

And there’s a lot of speculation about who is going to take over the spiritual guidance of over a billion Catholics.

For your team name this week, we want to know who you think WON’T be chosen as Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Christ, and Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church.

Literally any woman

Ralph Fiennes from Conclave

Katy Perry, not even for 11 minutes

Elon Musk

That annoying guy who keeps asking questions in bars

Anyone who definitely won’t be elected Pope will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

One team got literally every available point in the first round, with the exception of misreading how likely it was for our host to have touched a dog in the last 24 hours.

When asked to name cast members from The Fast and the Furious, one team listed Vin Diesel three times out of five, and then continued to put Vin Diesel as their answer to four more questions in the half.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 27 April 2025

We’ve all seen the cringeworthy Katy Perry story about her putting the ass in astronaut.

With your team name this week, we want you to claim expertise or status on similarly dubious grounds.

I’ve seen ER, so I can totally perform a tracheotomy.

I’m a frequent flier, so I should be landing the plane.

Playing backyard cricket qualifies me for the Ashes.

Duolingo made me fluent in Japanese.

Any dubious claims of expertise will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We had team guess that Tim Cahill’s 50 goals represent 91% of all goals ever scored by the Socceroos. That would mean one player in 14 years scoring 50, and the rest of the team over more than a century scoring just 5.

And nobody has a perfect record anymore, but there are still plenty of teams in the hunt in our quarterly tournament.
