INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked about Australian cities ending with G, we had to clarify that they had to be ACTUAL cities rather than made up cities, and that you couldn’t just accidentally misspell a real city. Sydneyg? No.

One team had a long & involving argument about whether or not they should take a beer or a bonus point after a question. They argued about that more than any of the actual questions.

And when they forgot to do their homework on Japanese mountains, one team guessed at Kilimanjaro.

See you next week.

Nobody wants figgy pudding

Who plays a drum for a newborn child?

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One of our teams assembled with one player having come to trivia on crutches, and another wearing a profoundly ugly Christmas sweater in Sydney in December.

One team won a prize, but realised they would rather choose the last place subject, so they swapped their prize for the subject. In a few weeks we will see if that transaction paid off.

And we asked a dental question, and one of our players who is actually a dentist was sweating on getting it right. Luckily he did, so we guess he gets to continue practicing dentistry.

See you next week.

A quick note to everyone. Saying “I was gonna say that” is not the same as saying something.

Asking about countries that begin with M & end with O led one team to make up countries like Mogo & Madagascaro.

When we ask about the Nepalese name for Mount Everest, it helps to be on good terms with the Nepalese bartender.

We played “Shake your booty”. One team who was struggling came up with “Shake your butty”. Meh, close enough.

When asked about religious populations, one team guessed that there were 3 billion Jews in the world. In other news, apparently Kanye West was at one of our quizzes.

And one team who ALWAYS gambles 5 on the gambler’s question forgot to wager 5. They got the question wrong & should have lost, but their screw up wound up working for them as they won by 3.

See you next week.

We still went through several guesses, including some states that were guessed at three times, before we finally gave the hint that it started with M and ended with innesota.

See you next week.
