Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 7 May 2023

Uncategorized,

This week your team names are going to be compliments.

But we don’t want you to be too nice, so we want them to be dubious compliments.

I love how you’ll just wear anything.

You look great for your age.

I won the most improved award four years in a row.

Someone told me I speak English so well. It’s my native language.

You look great. I barely recognise you.

Any compliments that aren’t as complimentary as they first seem will get you a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

Instead of saying Alan Rickman on an audio question, someone said Snape. Which is fair. Snape and Alan Rickman are pretty much the same person.

And one player asked us “is there someone whose job it is to come up with these questions?” Yes. Yes there is.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

On a simple question about rolling two dice, the likelihood of getting an odd result is 50%. Only 3 teams out of 11 got it right. Two more teams scratched out the correct answer and put in something else. We had guesses ranging from 25% to 94%.

We got players from Finland and Greece to read the homework answers in their native languages.

A coastal city in NSW home to 50,000 that starts with P? Pacific Ocean! Well not until there’s a lot more climate change.

See you next week.
