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.
