Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 15 June 2025

We recently saw this video explaining what would happen if the sun suddenly switched off.

For those of you who can’t be bothered to watch it, they found a few positives. Better satellite communication, the whole world being in one time zone, no cyclones because the ocean is frozen, and a drop in skin cancer. All for the minor downside of our species going extinct.

This week we want your team name to find the positive side of bad news.

My crippling anxiety stops me from saying stupid things

COVID lockdowns kept me from having to go to dozens of events I wanted to back out of

Insomnia means just three more sleeps until Christmas

Climate change will briefly give me beachfront property

Any way of putting a positive spin on something negative will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team of newbies had to get used to not shouting out things like “Manolo Blahnik”, and “Portugal” when they knew an answer.

We noticed that a lot of teams really seem to like guessing 69 or 420 when asked to think of a number.

And it looks like first place in the quarterly tournament is down to two teams.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We played The Entertainer by Scott Joplin, and a 63 year old woman twerked to it.

We noticed that when we ask for answers to number based bonus questions, that 69 & 420 get chose WAY more than random chance would allow.

And we’ve got two teams in the running for top spot in the quarterly tournament, and they’re just 4 points apart.
