INTERESTING MOMENTS

Sometimes when reading out letter, we give the letter in the phonetic alphabet. That’s helpful. Especially when we say “L as in Lima” and the answer is actually Lima.

We played a mashup including the Pornhub intro music, and someone thought it was Playschool. Nooooooope!

One two separate occasions, teams argued for 5 minutes over where to allocate their points in our bonus round, when not one of their answers was correct.

And after 13 weeks we have winners in our quarterly tournament, though it was really close.

It’s the Richard Gere Appreciation Society, taking first place and the highest average with an 80 point win in the final week.

A new quarterly tournament begins next week. Make sure you include your tournament team name in the corner of your answer sheet every week so your winning scores are counted.

See you next week.

Our bonus round involved naming South American countries, and one Brazilian player pointed out that the bonus round was unfair in his favour… and then proceeded to get it wrong.

We asked about countries with stars on their flags, and one team said Japan, and we couldn’t really say they were wrong.

And there’s one week to go in our weekly tournament and it’s still close. There are four teams with a chance to win the top prize, and a few more in the running for the highest average prize.

See you next week.

And our quarterly tournament is as close as it can be. It’s a tie, broken only by the fact that Leader Housen has a higher maximum score. And in third place we have a team just four points behind.

See you next week.

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.

WINNERS

See you next week.
