Answering a homework question on American Speakers of the House, one team forgot to do their homework and improvised. Their answer… “Nancy Pelosi, white guy, old white guy, straight old white guy.” Which is not exactly “wrong”.

And one team knew there was going to be a “Holiday” question, and found ways to get “holiday” as a guess into about a dozen questions… but not the one where we played a song by Billie Holiday.

See you next week.

Sisyphus was punished in the underworld by having to answer trivia questions for all eternity.

It wasn’t Gandhi who made the salt march, it was RuPaul. And we have a picture to prove it.

We asked a question about countries close to Helsinki, and a number of teams didn’t notice that one of the picture questions showed a full map of Europe. They seemed to prefer drawing their own horribly inaccurate maps.

We asked about cold temperatures in Australia, and someone asked if Antarctica counted as part of Australia. No. No it doesn’t.

We asked a question about an American city, and saw that one team gave Mississippi as an answer, so we pointed out that it’s a state not a city. So they changed it to Louisiana… which is also a state not a city.

A team of accountants got a math question horribly wrong, and blamed it on the fact that they didn’t have a spreadsheet.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team guessed that Ralph Fiennes and Edward Norton were both in this scene in The English Patient.

Which either meant they were hedging their bets, or they really recalled the scene this way.

After getting every element of one of our practical math questions right, one team forgot to actually do the math.

On a question about the most common words ending in OO, one player was wearing a t-shirt with the word “voodoo” on it, and sure enough that was an answer… that his team didn’t go for.

See you next week.
