INTERESTING MOMENTS

Someone wearing an LA Dodgers jacket got a question on the LA Dodgers wrong.

As a rule, we ask you to write down answers to bonus questions, rather than just yelling it out. One new player’s first guess was “dog”, but we reminded the whole room that you have to write it down. It was a good 30 seconds before anyone wrote down the word “dog”.

When we asked about famous actors named Ben from film roles they played, one team just put Ben Stiller five times… and was right once. Well, that’s better than nothing.

And our next quarterly tournament is underway. Remember if you want to have your score recorded to use a consistent team name for tournament purposes in addition to your weekly team name fitting the theme.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we ask for the Italian word for “library”, we don’t just want you to say it in a stereotyped Italian accent complete with hand gestures.

One team came all the way from Penrith to Dee Why to play, and they won. That is some serious commitment.

To figure out which of three options was correct for the height of Roald Dahl’s Big Friendly Giant, one team made three separate sketches to scale… and it worked because they got it right.

And another quarterly tournament is in the books, with Bagpuss taking the top prize with over 800 points across their 11 wins. 6 Go Crazy had the highest average, being one of only two teams to break an average of over 80.
