INTERESTING MOMENTS
One team put down the two options on the dilemma question, and then forgot to choose one. And the results came down to one vote.
Common four letter words beginning with HO? How about “hoes”. That was a glimpse into the priorities of one of our teams.
Just as we asked a question on Buddy Franklin’s 1,000th AFL goal, the televisions in one of our venues replayed the moment.
Two teams talked themselves out of the same correct answer on a jackpot question.
After choosing Gondor as their special subject, one team failed to correctly answer a question on what Gondor meant. It’s your subject people!
And not quite half of the teams succeeded in naming numbers between 100 & 200 that are divisible by 7. One bid 14 and named literally none of them, and one bid 8, and went on to name all 14 in 13 seconds. (He was getting a PhD in math, and was finally able to put that to good use.)
See you next week.
