Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 19 November 2023

We noticed recently that NCIS is expanding to Sydney.

How they propose to have American military police solving crimes in Australia we haven’t figured out yet.

For your team name this week, we want you to suggest case in your local area for them to solve.

Avocados scanned as apples.

Manhunt after someone got away with to paying for five minutes parking.

A tenant is suspected of killing their landlord, but it could be one of the five other people crammed into the unit.

Three people are pursued for jaywalking at 3am with no traffic around.

What really happened at Engadine Maccas?

Any petty local crimes for NCIS to investigate will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We found out that our trivia was sufficiently interesting that a player put away their sewing to focus on the questions.

One player was so thrilled to hear Hamilton, Jamiroquai, and Crazy Rich Asians that she shook with glee on each of those audio clues so much that we thought she might be having a seizure.

And we had a record performance in a lightning round. After being the last player standing at the letter M in round 3, he proceeded to answer the final 13 letters perfectly to complete the lightning round.

We’ve seen that before, but at a time when we allowed a lot more passing, and in that case they only had to answer three more questions at the end.

The entire room, even people who weren’t playing trivia, ERUPTED in applause when Andy nailed the last question.

See you next week.
