INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team got 2 of the 3 questions in the bonus round right, and then gave all three points to the one question they didn’t get.

When we ask you a bonus question where you get one guess, you get ONE guess. You don’t get three, and you don’t get to use a calculator.

And with one week left to go in the quarterly tournament, it looks like it’s already decided.

Before playing an audio clip where we were asking for a science fiction TV series, a historical figure, and the decade it was set, one team wanted to lock in their guess before hearing the clip. They got all three right. (We gave them a bonus point because DAMN that’s unlikely.)

One player was wearing this shirt when we asked a dilemma question about whether they would accept $200,000 to wear a dog cone for a year.

Our bonus round this week involved the Crufts dog show, and one of our venues had Crufts on TV throughout the quiz. Not sure how much it helped.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Sometimes we ask easy questions that we intend to be a cinch for everyone. Like what year ending in 29 that the Oscars were first awarded… and one team answered 1919.

When you don’t care about reality TV, you come up with fake names. Like Ultimate Banana, Sexy Time, and King Gopher: Munching Lettuce on the Down Low.

And in a week with lot’s of Taylor Swift content, we had a lot of teams get really annoyed… at themselves for not knowing as much as they thought.

And after 8 weeks of our quarterly tournament, there’s just one point in it.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We found out that one of our players counts on her fingers with all her fingers out, and then putting them down with each passing number.  Which is objectively weird.

You know that book Alison in Wonderland?

If you talk constantly and then complain that you can hear anything, we’re not going to take you seriously. If we ask you for a language beginning with J in which “thank you” translates as “arigato” and you leave it blank, our questions being too hard might not be the problem.

We noticed that one of our team had the same women every week, but different guys. It turns out the ladies were finding guys on Tinder and inviting them to trivia. So if you match with some 20 something girls in Sydney, you might wind up at one of our quizzes.

And after six weeks, somehow we have a tie in our quarterly tournament, with two teams tied on 5 wins and 368 points.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked whether people would rather have no thumbs, or only thumbs, one team based their decision on what option would make lifting a pint glass easier. They had their priorities straight.

What question did Elmo ask that went viral? “Where the bad bitches at?”

What ship did Jason take to search for the Golden Fleece? The Titanic.

A lot of teams were absolutely certain that Dawson’s Creek was set in North Carolina. Some were so certain they were almost smug about it. And then they came undone when they realised that we didn’t ask where Dawson’s Creek was filmed, but where it was set.

The Smith Family currently leads the quarterly tournament with 301 points off 4 wins.

Have an interesting week.
