INTERESTING MOMENTS
A team who assured us they were f”ckin awesome at trivia was deeply confused about a question asking them to name 5 countries that border Switzerland. They managed a total score of 1 point over the first half before quitting.
A team was rescued on one question by a teammate who turned up in the second half when she got a rugby league question. A team full of guys had no idea. The one girl on the team broke the stereotype.
The most common word ending in “le”? Jiggle was where on team’s mind went first.
And our leading teams didn’t win this week, so the race for the quarterly tournament title got closer.
