INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team forgot to do their homework on early US Vice Presidents, so they just started listing names they could remember from Hamilton, and wound up getting three of them.

When we ask a bonus question about Belgian cities, it’s a lot easier to win when someone on your team is literally from the first city we mention.

And when presented with the letter R in out category bonus round, one team kept trying to make “roofies” work.

And we’ve got new leaders in our quarterly tournament, but it’s very close as two teams have four wins and the difference is only two points.
