Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 23 March 2025

We recently found out that there’s a colour called Canberra Beige.

And that got us thinking there must be other colours named after places.

So for your team name this week, we want you to come up with a colour to describe a place.

White House Orange

Irish Green

Adelaide Grey

Eastern Suburbs Gold

Melbourne Latte

Western Sydney Red (Rooster)

North Dakota White

Any colours named for a place will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked a question about Eye of the Tiger, and it was as though a karaoke night spontaneously broke out as half a dozen teams tried to figure out how many times the word “tiger” comes up in the song.

We watched one team lock in an answer they had whittled down to a 50-50, then debate it for 10 minutes, before changing it… to the wrong answer.

And we had a changing of the guard at the top of our leaderboard.  With one week to go, it could still go either way.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We get that sometimes you want a question repeated. But you might want to wait until we finish the question instead of stopping us to ask for a repeat halfway through.

Similarly, if you want to complain about not being able to hear, it helps if you… how do we put this… shut the hell up when a question is asked.

One player didn’t listen to the jackpot question and only asked if they could change their answer after everything had been handed in. Cost their team over $100 cash.

And our leaders are still maintaining a 36 point lead as we approach the end of the quarter. There’s still plenty that can happen.
