What sport has the most drug violations? Breakdancing according to one team. Well, it would explain Raygun.

And our quarterly tournament is as close as it can be. It’s a tie, broken only by the fact that Leader Housen has a higher maximum score. And in third place we have a team just four points behind.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

On a question about British Prime Ministers and Hugh Grant characters, a team of Brits managed to pick just 3/5 correctly, which is barely better than average. (They still won though.)

One team saw a picture of Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas, and guessed that it was Rishi Sunak.

Two minutes after we played a song, it came up on the jukebox and half the room heard it in full all over again.

One team only knew Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven because of the Simpsons. Which is a perfectly fair place to pick up knowledge on higher culture.

And our quarterly tournment has three weeks left and there are still plenty of teams in the running both for the overall title and for the highest average.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

If you’re given 50/50 options, even if you have no idea, you might as well guess. One team who knew nothing about cricket nailed three 50/50s after we reminded them that you don’t lose points for guessing.

One of our players coincidentally wore a t-shirt with an answer to a special subject question on it.

And we have new leaders at the top of the leader board. But there are still plenty who can win on both overall scores and average scores.

See you next week.

We had to explain to one team the Scotlandia is not a country beginning with S and ending with A.

One of our winning teams wanted to take their answer sheet back to the office to frame it.

See you next week.
