INTERESTING MOMENTS

Created by Hans Christian Anderson, what literary character has a seaside statue in Copenhagen? Darryl Hannah in Splash apparently.

When we asked a dilemma about pissing yourself weekly at home or once a decade in front of a dozen people you know, one player threatened to wet himself right there… to prove some kind of point.

After we asked whether our host was taller or shorter than Aryna Sabalenka, one team asked how tall our host was. You have eyes. We are THIS tall.

And the quarterly tournament is taking shape and is very competitive both on highest total and highest average.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 18 January 2026

It’s no secret that AI is expanding all the time.

And there are a lot of jobs that might be done by AI in a few years time.

So for your team name this week, we want you to name a job that is safe from AI.

Brazilian waxing. I don’t trust AI with that kind of data.

Therapist.

Politicians. They’ll never allow themselves to be out of a job.

Strippers.

Any job that AI can’t handle will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we ask about TV characters and you say they’re from your favourite show, but you can’t remember the name of the show… maybe it’s NOT your favourite show.

Kristen Bell in The Good Place was described as “the chick from Forgetting Sarah Marshall”.

A team tried for 5 minutes to argue their case on a “what do they have in common” question without actually knowing who some of the people were.

And we’ve still got one team who are undefeated, and they’re on top in our quarterly tournament.
