INTERESTING MOMENTS

Zapp Branigan from Futurama was described as “that captain who doesn’t wear pants and has a thicc ass” which is actually a pretty apt description.

One team got penalised for cheating. And who was most annoyed at the guy who googled Hiroshima? His teammates.

One team wrote down the two options, and joked about how they would probably forget to cross one out… and then they actually forgot to cross one out.

We put on a show for some experts on Asia, and it took them an inordinate amount of time to identify Afghanistan as the answer to a bonus question. On the other hand one of their teams got a bonus point for writing an answer to a question on the Islamic calendar in Arabic.

Two teams were faced with five straight 50/50 options, and both picked the wrong one all five times. That’s a 1 in 32 of doing it once. Doing it twice? We will let the statisticians among you determine the odds.

And more than one team ruined a perfect round in the minefield bonus round by getting four right, and then losing all of those points by getting one single question wrong.

See you next week.

WINNERS

If you won, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.

JACKPOT

They were the smallest team, they won on a per capita basis for a moral victory, and then won the jackpot for an ACTUAL victory.

Second place and a jackpot. That’s a pretty good haul.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A number of teams gave the title of Bruno Mars 2010 song as Millionaire instead of Billionare. Yeah, being off by a factor of 1,000 is kind of big. And if Bruno was going to sing about wanting to be a millionaire, that would be a pretty short song.

More than one team guessed that Bono or Ben Stiller were slated for the main role in The Shawshank Redemption. Either would have made for a very different film.

See you next week.

WINNERS

If you won, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.

JACKPOT

Last time they had their dog pull the “balance the jackpot winnings on your nose” trick. This time they had to settle for the human version.

When you win a jackpot as a team of one, you don’t have to share it with anyone.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A dilemma question asked if you would accept a lump sum of cash in exchange for having a heavy bogan accent for the rest of your life. The audience asked us to do a bogan accent so they could get the idea, but, out of respect to Australia’s bogan community, yeahhhh nah.

In the first show at one of our new venues, the sound system died. Luckily, our host came prepared with a big enough voice to fill the room.

At a new venue where the trivia space was only accessible via stairs, we had three players turn up with crutches. That is dedication to trivia!

Occasionally teams will say wrong answers loudly enough for others to hear. This week when we asked a Simpsons question, someone loudly declared it to be Futurama. And a couple of teams fell for the subterfuge.

And a tie for first was decided in favour of the team that answered Terry Crews instead of Terry Cruise.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

As we often do, we asked a question about what several people have in common, and said that if your answer wasn’t our answer it had better be both correct and interesting. Naturally, one team answered with the exact words “both correct and interesting”. Ok, you found a loophole. Nobody gets that loophole anymore.

A jackpot question was asking for the name of an Italian author, and four separate teams took a shot at Giuseppe Verdi, Giuseppe Rossi, Giuseppe Ravioli, and Giuseppe Linguini. We’re pretty sure they were just going for the most stereotypically Italian names they could think of.

When we played a song by Big Audio Dynamite, one team responded that the singer used to be in The Clash. We looked it up, and sure enough, Mick Jones sang both for Big Audio Dynamite and The Clash. So saying “that band that had the same lead singer as The Clash” is not technically wrong and got a point. (Though the team that got the point still came last.)

See you next week.

WINNERS

If you won, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.

JACKPOT

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked about annoying sounds, and instead of the answer of “fingernails on a chalkboard” being similar to the sound of a chimpanzee warning call, one said it was “Bill’s voice”. (For the record, we can be WAY more annoying if we need to be.)

A question on ballets with the initials SB resulted in a guess of Spandau Ballet, which is not completely wrong, and Some Bullsh!t, which is.

A question on Dutch geography on our international quiz was seized on by a team that had players playing in the Netherlands at 4:00am. They got it right, and won by a single point. Yes, it pays to have Dutch people on your team sometimes.

See you next week.

WINNERS

JACKPOT

This guy won $151 all on his own. So he had a good night.

Whether good luck or expertise (lets be real here, it was probably luck), both of these teams won cash.

And one of them went right back to the bar for a round of New & Blue. (Note: Mixing Toohey’s New and Alize Blue is not something we recommend.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked a question about Lucy Liu, and one team answered “not Lucy Liu”, which is quite literally the most wrong they could possibly be. A random string of meaningless letters would have been less incorrect.

One a question about whether Iceland or Tasmania had more people, one team couldn’t decide, but argued that either way you were going to marry your cousin.

We asked about elements spelled with the letter H, and someone tried to argue that we should accept Iron.  We pointed out that, it doesn’t have an H.  So they argued that the symbol had an H, which is also wrong.

And a player from the Philippines didn’t get a question about the origin of the name of The Philippines.

See you next week.

WINNERS

If you won, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.

JACKPOT

These teams won prizes AND won the jackpot (even if it was with a lucky guess). So yes, you are allowed to bear a bit of a grudge against them.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

If we are giving you a list of rugby positions and the numbers associated with them, and you decide to answer with numbers that we didn’t give you as options… you’re probably not going to do very well. (They failed to match the position “Number 8” to the actual number 8.)

The song “Wasn’t Expecting That” by Jamie Lawson was described as “sad white guy with a guitar”, which isn’t wrong.

We accidentally referred to Elliot Page as Ellen Page, but every single team got the name correct.

When we asked for the title of a song we played, one team wrote half of the lyrics to the song, which luckily included the title, so we gave them a point.

On a question about how fast it would take a car travelling at the speed of light to finish a car race, one team actually did the math. They didn’t just estimate, their answer included their actual calculations, which they got spot on.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A question about how many millimetres are in a kilometre had one player very keenly defending her view that there are 10,000 millimetres in a kilometre.

We asked about whether redheads, white people, or men would stop existing first, which seemed to upset one of our players who was a redheaded white man, and therefore bound to lose out in any case.

And one team responded to a jackpot question about Billy Snedden with the answer Billy Sneddon. Which is wrong, and cost them the cash.

See you next week.
