Sometimes when reading out letter, we give the letter in the phonetic alphabet. That’s helpful. Especially when we say “L as in Lima” and the answer is actually Lima.

We played a mashup including the Pornhub intro music, and someone thought it was Playschool. Nooooooope!

One two separate occasions, teams argued for 5 minutes over where to allocate their points in our bonus round, when not one of their answers was correct.

And after 13 weeks we have winners in our quarterly tournament, though it was really close.

It’s the Richard Gere Appreciation Society, taking first place and the highest average with an 80 point win in the final week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked about a Jane Austen book, one player piped up and said “who is Jane Austen”. To which we responded “look, this question may not be for you.”

Our bonus round involved naming South American countries, and one Brazilian player pointed out that the bonus round was unfair in his favour… and then proceeded to get it wrong.

We asked about countries with stars on their flags, and one team said Japan, and we couldn’t really say they were wrong.

And there’s one week to go in our weekly tournament and it’s still close. There are four teams with a chance to win the top prize, and a few more in the running for the highest average prize.
