INTERESTING MOMENTS

We gave a series of 50/50 options on a question about Macbeth, and our options fooled a team of Scottish people. The following night, a Scotsman was beaten to the punch on a Loch Ness Monster question.

A day of the week that comes after Saturday? Sabbath. Well that’s more complicated than it needed to be, but yes.

One player was bugging us for a hint on one question, we gave him one, and it tipped him from having the correct answer to having a wrong answer. The lesson… be careful about asking for hints.

See you next week.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 16 June 2024

This week we want you to think of some of your favourite characters from years ago, and imagine them grown up. Like maybe the Middle Aged Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Lisa Simpson dropped out of graduate school and plays saxophone at open mic nights

Eric Cartman was elected to Congress and is being considered as Donald Trump’s running mate

Lilo was taken away by social services and raised in foster care

Charlie Bucket took over the chocolate factory, which had to close after litigation from the families of the other children

Dorothy had PTSD after visiting Oz and wound up an alcoholic

Pepe Le Pew was jailed for sexual assault

Any grown up versions of children’s characters will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When the batteries ran out in the mic at one venue, one team earned bonus points for being the first to produce spares so the show could go on.

We had a bunch of very blokey teams, only one of whom recognised one of the main characters in The Gilmore Girls. Guys, you need more diversity on your trivia teams.

When we asked about who got married to a 67 year old woman recently, instead of Rupert Murdoch one team said “some young hunk” which is about as far as it’s possible to get from the right answer, and another said “definitely not Leonardo DiCaprio” which is actually pretty close to bang on.

And it looks like the winners of the current quarterly tournament can’t be caught.
