This week your team name is going to be something most people don’t find attractive that you do.
A man who looks like he’d make a good shopping mall Santa
Slightly crooked teeth
Deep voiced women
Bigger than average noses
When they absentmindedly hum to themselves
Any unusual thing you find attractive gets a bonus point.
Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS
On a question about British Prime Ministers and Hugh Grant characters, a team of Brits managed to pick just 3/5 correctly, which is barely better than average. (They still won though.)
One team saw a picture of Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas, and guessed that it was Rishi Sunak.
Two minutes after we played a song, it came up on the jukebox and half the room heard it in full all over again.
One team only knew Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven because of the Simpsons. Which is a perfectly fair place to pick up knowledge on higher culture.
And our quarterly tournment has three weeks left and there are still plenty of teams in the running both for the overall title and for the highest average.

JACKPOT
They probably didn’t KNOW the answer to a jackpot question on prime numbers, but they did manage to guess it.

INTERESTING MOMENTS
If you’re given 50/50 options, even if you have no idea, you might as well guess. One team who knew nothing about cricket nailed three 50/50s after we reminded them that you don’t lose points for guessing.
One of our players coincidentally wore a t-shirt with an answer to a special subject question on it.
And we have new leaders at the top of the leader board. But there are still plenty who can win on both overall scores and average scores.
