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.

JACKPOT

They seem to specialise in winning jackpots.

TEAM NAMES

You made plenty of dumb Google searches.

What’s the number for 000?

What are the ingredients of a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich?

What is Obama’s last name?

Are The Rock and Dwayne Johnson brothers?

What are potato scallops made from?

How long is an episode of 60 minutes

Two American teams aggressively guessed on the first clue of our bonus round this week, and were wrong.

And we have two teams at the top of the table with 6 wins in our Quarterly Tournament.

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.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked about Australian Prime Ministers and got answers of Steve Irwin & The Stingray.

The number of days since Jimmy Carter was President was estimated within less than 100 out of nearly 16,000.

On the other hand, one team thought there were 205 goals kicked in the 2023 AFL Grand Final. That’s a LOT of goals.

Perhaps the most creative answer we’ve gotten in the categories bonus round for things in the sky beginning with the letter S… Snakes on a Plane.

And here’s where we stand in the quarterly tournament.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked about the number of holes in men’s belts, one player had his belt off within 3 seconds. He was suspiciously quick at getting his gear off.

When we asked teams to name five Australian cities, we had to explain that we didn’t want you to name one city five times.

A ballet beginning with G? How About Grease? And SB? Maybe Soulja Boy.

The Mario Puzo novel set in New York with the initials TG? The Grinch. And surely A Tree Grows In Brooklyn is a less compelling title than All Them Girls Is Bangin’.

And Cuck is still leading our quarterly tournament with 3 wins in 3 weeks.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

In reading out the answers we read out the two most common computer passwords, and distinctly heard one player say “hey that’s my password!”

When we asked about how many days had passed since the $1 coin was introduced, we got guesses ranging from 32 to 1 billion. So possibly last month, and possibly 2.7 million years ago.

Now, we’re hosting trivia in a bar. Alcohol is present. Enthusiastic gesticulating happens. But if you knock over drinks on to your answer sheets… twice… you might want to calm down.

And our quarterly tournament is continuing, with three teams leading as repeat winners at the top of the table.

See you next week.

On an alphabetical list of Rugby World Cup playing countries, we had to explain that Bangladesh has never been to the Rugby World Cup.

When asked when the actress who played the grandmother in Titanic was born, we had guessed ranging from 1876 to 1973. Which would have made her either 24, or 121 years old when they film was released.

And a Scotsman failed to recognise Auld Lang Syne being played on bagpipes. He’s a bad Scotsman.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When presented with five 50/50 choices, the best any team did at one quiz was two. Just two. Statistically, that’s worse than random chance, and that’s the best anyone did. One team got zero out of five.

When given a question about Ritalin, one team reacted in such a pronounced way that we thought something was up. Turns out half the team was currently ON Ritalin.

And one team argued for a VAR decision when they claimed to have said USA in the bonus round. We didn’t hear it, nobody in the room heard it, and all the gaslighting in the world isn’t going to make us think you said it when you didn’t.

See you next week.
