INTERESTING MOMENTS

A team made entirely of Korean tourists who had limited English decided to play, and spent the whole first half googling questions. Now that’s cheating, but we decided to look at it as an experiment. How well can they do with googling everything they could. They managed 22 in the first half, for the lowest score of all the teams. The lesson is it’s not easy to win just by cheating on everything.

On the first week of a new jackpot, a veteran team got what we thought was a near impossible question right about 5 seconds too late. They were still happy.

We asked about a French pilot who was also a tennis player, and instead of Roland Garros, we had guesses of Jacques Deuce and Pierre Love.

And we’ve now got one team with a clear lead in the quarterly tournament.

See you next week.

WINNERS

JACKPOT

It’s rare that knowing characters from The Blacklist comes in handy. But once in a while in a jackpot it’s REALLY handy.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Voting against their first instinct on the dilemma question backfired on a team when we wound up with a tie that was broken not in their favour.

When we asked about the distance from the easternmost to the westernmost point of Australia, one team guessed 41,000km, which is longer than the circumference of the whole earth.

When asked if one of our hosts owned a kilt, one team answered accurately that he didn’t but that “you totally have the ass for it”. Is it sexual harassment if you like it?

And there’s a gap of just four points at the top of the table in our quarterly tournament.

See you next week.

Every criminal is free if they’re President of the US

Any trivia answer is a correct answer if you’re threatening enough

Every day is payday if you’re a bank robber

Every light is a green light if you’re colour blind

Any distance is walking distance if you’ve got the time

Every work day is a last work day if you can’t keep your mouth shut

Every sink is a bathtub if you’re under 5’2’’

Every tree is a public urinal if you’re drunk enough

Any book is a Bible if you have enough faith in it

Any bath is a swimming pool if you’re small enough

Every sleeve is a tissue if you’re snotty enough

Any dog is a horse if you’re small enough

And multiple teams went with… Anything is a dildo if you’re brave enough

And there are three teams at the top of the table in our quarterly tournament with 2 wins in 2 weeks.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Someone wearing an LA Dodgers jacket got a question on the LA Dodgers wrong.

As a rule, we ask you to write down answers to bonus questions, rather than just yelling it out. One new player’s first guess was “dog”, but we reminded the whole room that you have to write it down. It was a good 30 seconds before anyone wrote down the word “dog”.

When we asked about famous actors named Ben from film roles they played, one team just put Ben Stiller five times… and was right once. Well, that’s better than nothing.

And our next quarterly tournament is underway. Remember if you want to have your score recorded to use a consistent team name for tournament purposes in addition to your weekly team name fitting the theme.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we ask for the Italian word for “library”, we don’t just want you to say it in a stereotyped Italian accent complete with hand gestures.

One team came all the way from Penrith to Dee Why to play, and they won. That is some serious commitment.

To figure out which of three options was correct for the height of Roald Dahl’s Big Friendly Giant, one team made three separate sketches to scale… and it worked because they got it right.

And another quarterly tournament is in the books, with Bagpuss taking the top prize with over 800 points across their 11 wins. 6 Go Crazy had the highest average, being one of only two teams to break an average of over 80.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team of newbies had to get used to not shouting out things like “Manolo Blahnik”, and “Portugal” when they knew an answer.

We noticed that a lot of teams really seem to like guessing 69 or 420 when asked to think of a number.

And it looks like first place in the quarterly tournament is down to two teams.
