INTERESTING MOMENTS

Cities with high NRL attendance? Adelaide, Sydney, Perth said one team who probably didn’t know what NRL is. When we suggested they change some, they scratched out Sydney.

One team forgot to do their homework on Swedish Prime Ministers so they guessed the names of ABBA members, and because Andersson is both a member of ABBA and a recent Prime Minister, they still got one.

You know that famous Dylan Thomas poem? “Do not go gentle into that good night. Take as many of the bitches down with you as you can.”

One player complained that in asking about high population Sydney suburbs, we didn’t count dead people. Because that’s a totally normal way to count population.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We found out that our trivia was sufficiently interesting that a player put away their sewing to focus on the questions.

One player was so thrilled to hear Hamilton, Jamiroquai, and Crazy Rich Asians that she shook with glee on each of those audio clues so much that we thought she might be having a seizure.

And we had a record performance in a lightning round. After being the last player standing at the letter M in round 3, he proceeded to answer the final 13 letters perfectly to complete the lightning round.

We’ve seen that before, but at a time when we allowed a lot more passing, and in that case they only had to answer three more questions at the end.

The entire room, even people who weren’t playing trivia, ERUPTED in applause when Andy nailed the last question.
