INTERESTING MOMENTS

We had one player choose to split off from the rest of his team to play solo, very keen to get to choose the last place subject… and he did. Getting just 20 points will tend to do that.

Guesses about a TV series with people being set on fire included Community, The Office, and Seinfeld. We must have missed those episodes.

Knowing that the Great Pyramid of Giza was the tallest structure in the world in 2570BC, one team guessed that it held that title for 5000 years… which would make it STILL the tallest for about another 300 years.

And last quarter’s tournament winners enjoyed their prize.

Which means we’ve got a new tournament kicking off. Everyone is in the running again.

For your team name this week, we want you to make a prediction about the next nugget of medical wisdom that the Trump administration will come out with.

Smoking while pregnant helps the baby’s lungs develop

Reading causes depression, so stop reading

Canckles are a sign of virility

Any dubious medical advice you think may come out of the White House will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We had one team bid that they could get a lot of questions wrong in our wrong answers only round, without understanding what it was. The thing is, he works in real estate, and should have known better than to put his hand up during an auction when you don’t know what you’re bidding on.

One venue had a team who wasn’t officially playing, but still argued more about the questions than any of the official teams.

And our quarterly tournament has wound up, with the Richard Gere Appreciation Society taking the top prize.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Countries spelled using the letters GER in order apart from Germany? How about Singerpore or Gerpan?

Last week when asked for the title of a song, one team said it was the song our host lost his virginity to. It was a song that was released when he was 10. This we they used the same joke answer about a song that was released when he was 43.

One team brought their 10 year old son along… which was great, except that the special subject was 80s Porn Stars.

When he found out the jackpot answer was Homeland, one player exclaimed “I loved Homeland”, though he couldn’t remember the names of any episodes.

And with one week left in the quarterly tournament, we still have a few teams in the running. Nothing is decided yet.
