Who walked into a shop in Busselton, WA last week? No it wasn’t Nicolas Cage, it was Harold Holt. You know, at the age of 115 after being declared dead in the 60s.

We asked how to spell semillon, and were glad to see the wine list didn’t include semillon.

When we asked about Robin Wright, one team said “I don’t even know who that guy is”. SO we explained that Robin Wright is a woman.

And one team did so well at our one second songs bonus round, that they handed their answers in after just two hearings… and got all five. That was worth a bonus point that vaulted them into winning a prize.
