When did Visa first sponsor the Olympics? How about the Athens Olympics of 56 BC?

When we asked about the top billed actors in the live action Beauty and the Beast, one team answered with “that guy who was in Downton Abbey”. Sure enough, Dan Stevens was both Beast & Matthew Crawley. So they got a point.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We have often noted the awkwardness of people cheering when they hear the name Hitler as an answer, because even though they’re only cheering that they got a question right, it still feels wrong to be cheering. So we were pleased to hear one audience boo Hitler instead.

A player turned up on crutches with back & neck pain, because he didn’t want to miss the show.

Our leaked current events question didn’t get through to one team, who guessed that instead of having his finger bitten off by a lion, a Jamaican zookeeper burned down the zoo while smoking a joint. Another thought he failed to qualify for the Jamaican bobsled team.

And one of our venues was named pub of the year. PIC. Is it any wonder when you have Australia’s most interesting trivia on your side?

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We had a player finally get a bonus question with the correct answer of “Denmark” after dozens of wrong guesses from all parts of the pub, despite the fact that she was wearing the word Denmark on her shirt. All she had to do was stand up and point to herself.

Who shot John Lennon? Lennon Harvey Oswald apparently.

What kind of lettuce is named for the way it was transported to market? Rocket thought one team. Well, that would explain the recent inflation.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Answering a homework question on American Speakers of the House, one team forgot to do their homework and improvised. Their answer… “Nancy Pelosi, white guy, old white guy, straight old white guy.” Which is not exactly “wrong”.

And one team knew there was going to be a “Holiday” question, and found ways to get “holiday” as a guess into about a dozen questions… but not the one where we played a song by Billie Holiday.

See you next week.

It wasn’t Gandhi who made the salt march, it was RuPaul. And we have a picture to prove it.

We asked a question about countries close to Helsinki, and a number of teams didn’t notice that one of the picture questions showed a full map of Europe. They seemed to prefer drawing their own horribly inaccurate maps.

We asked about cold temperatures in Australia, and someone asked if Antarctica counted as part of Australia. No. No it doesn’t.

A team of accountants got a math question horribly wrong, and blamed it on the fact that they didn’t have a spreadsheet.

See you next week.

After getting every element of one of our practical math questions right, one team forgot to actually do the math.

On a question about the most common words ending in OO, one player was wearing a t-shirt with the word “voodoo” on it, and sure enough that was an answer… that his team didn’t go for.

See you next week.
