INTERESTING MOMENTS

After we asked a fairly straightforward math question, we had to explain to one team that 2+5=7. Because they weren’t convinced right away.

The Battle of Stalingrad was described by one team as “that battle where all those people died” which is actually a pretty apt description.

A surprising number of people didn’t put it together that the word “Australia” comes up frequently in the national anthem.

We had guesses about the speed of the fastest lifts in the world ranging from 8km/hr to 500km/hr. So, barely moving, or warp speed.

A team of Swedish people failed to recognise The Sign by Ace of Base.

And one new team forgot to do the homework question on Spanish language Nobel Laureates in Literature, so their answer was “Pepe Shakespeare, Maria Austen, Penelope Bronte, and Pablo Dickens.”

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A man named John failed to guess that “John” was one of the most common words beginning with “JO”.

When we do a higher/lower round, like we did this week, we often like to start off with a really easy question to make sure everyone understands the concept. Well all week, we were amazed at the number of players who were eliminated by thinking the Wallabies had scored LESS than 250 points in ALL matches they have ever played against the All Blacks.

If asked to list a number of countries, we will just state for the record that those countries have to actually exist in the word at the moment. No listing countries that used to exist, unless we specify that’s what we’re looking for.

Also, for some reason, we had to clarify that you are NOT one of your own ancestors. (Unless you are using time travel to do things that are morally questionable and really, REALLY gross.)

We got a complaint that one of the picture questions was impossible, until we reminded them that it is quite difficult to get a picture question if you don’t look at the pictures.

When asked a question on movie math, one team guessed that Saving Private Ryan was released in 1989 (it was released in 1998), it was set in 1945 (it was set in 1944), and that the difference between those years was 54 years (it’s 44 years). But we were looking for the difference between the year it was released and the year it was set, which is 54 years. They got every aspect of the question wrong, then did the math wrong, and still got the final answer correct.

See you next week.

A number of teams who went with “we suck at trivia”, and one went a step further, going with “we suck at trivia and self-deprecation.”

And there was only one team whose name we couldn’t read out in full, so we read it using some strategic rhyming… Team Bagpuss are Sucking Bunts.

TriviArt

Cool Barrister

Small Frog

Throbbing Dragon

Falling Al Qaeda

Dirty Lightsaber

Smug Snowy Caterpillar

INTERESTING MOMENTS

The Mexican classic La Bamba was sung by Bumblebee Man from The Simpsons.

When we asked about the ironic death of a jockey, one team guessed that he broke his leg and had to be put down.

An engineer was tasked by his teammates with getting a math bonus question, and he failed. Like by orders of magnitude he failed. But every other team failed by more.

Someone suggested that being a trivia host was a way of weaponising autism. As we’ve got multiple aspies hosting, we often look at it as monetising autism, which is a team name we have used while playing trivia.

And someone tried to convince us that a question on a Spice Girls song was unfair, because HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE SPICE GIRLS! No. We’re not buying that.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When faced with a dilemma question on whether they’d be especially intelligent or especially good looking, one team made a point of “checking out” all of the other teams in an attempt to assess how serious they were about their appearance. (For the record, the room was unanimously in favour of being intelligent.)

We asked about letters that are not in the names of Australian states and territories, and a group in Canberra went with P, despite the face that they were IN the Australian Capital Territory and really should have known better.

We were all set to play a clip of Shut Up and Drive by Rihanna, when Shut Up and Drive by Rihanna started playing over the background music. So we swapped question 8 with question 18 and acted like that was the plan all along.

And one team came up to us just before we started reading out the answers to round two, because they wanted to change their answer to the gambler’s question. They went ahead and changed it from the right answer to a wrong answer, and that cost them a share of first place.

For the record… we have no qualms about letting you talk yourself out of a right answer.

And when we were short of a host because of a sudden illness and feared we might have to cancel a show, Blythe came through and made sure our long streak of never cancelling a show remained intact. And they players thought she did great.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Someone from Croatia got a question on Croatia wrong, and cost their team a jackpot win.

The symbol in the centre of the Korean flag was described by teams as “a Tamagotchi”, and “the Pepsi logo”.

And not one, but TWO teams mistook this 1931 wedding photo for Prince Philip, with his son Prince Charles as the best man.

First of all, this predates Charles birth by nearly two decades, and second of all, it’s obviously Goebbels with Hitler as the best man. Whatever your views on the monarchy are, surely mistaking the heir to the throne for a megalomaniac, anti-Semite, and five time winner of the All Germany Stupid Moustache Competition misses the mark.

See you next week.

WINNERS

If you won, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.

JACKPOTS

It was a pretty good week for jackpots.

And we would have given away another, except that the only team who knew the answer had chosen not to play in the jackpot round. You’ve got to be in it to win it people!

TEAM NAMES

You’re pretty dumb, if the injuries you’ve suffered are anything to go by.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A map of South East Asia looked suspiciously like a dong.

When we asked about the injury that kept Steve Smith out of the Ashes, someone pointed out, rather cleverly, that the ball had tampered with him.

We asked about the song lyric “how many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man” and one team answered that it was sung by “Jenny in Forrest Gump” which is not technically wrong.

When trying to think of European cities beginning with H, one team but Helsinki… and then said Helsinki again. Either because they thought it was so big it had to be mentioned twice, or they thought there were two cities called Helsinki in Europe.

Apparently the famous line “when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that’s amore” was performed by the Super Mario Brothers and not Dean Martin.

And on a question on whether men or women have colder hands, one team answered the question and explained why, perfectly anticipating the fact that we would be asking a follow up question on why in the second half.

See you next week.

WINNERS

If you won, here’s evidence just in case anyone doesn’t believe you.

JACKPOTS

It was a big week for jackpots.

A couple of teams won jackpots for knowing about Canadian Prime Ministers.

One of them chose to donate what was left from a round of Alizé to next week’s jackpot.

And these two were thrilled to have won, having been coaxed into trivia for the first time just two weeks ago.

TEAM NAMES

It turns out you love a lot of things that other people hate.

And some of you may have some serious problems, like the team who said they like “Incest.” We even asked them if they were sure they wanted to go with that. We’re still hoping that’s a joke… somehow.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked whether or not Christopher Columbus could have gotten to Asia if North America hadn’t been in the way, and one team responded that you can do anything if you set your mind to it. Sure. But not if you and your whole crew has starved to death.

We asked for the largest cities in California. Someone said “Canberra”. No… just… no.

And the jackpots are building up. We nearly gave one away this week, but someone was just 11 grams off on a question of the weight of a block of gold.

See you next week.

And we got a number of very odd wrong answers in a lightning round.

People who observe Yom Kippur are “jokers”.
