INTERESTING MOMENTS
As we often do, we asked a question about what several people have in common, and said that if your answer wasn’t our answer it had better be both correct and interesting. Naturally, one team answered with the exact words “both correct and interesting”. Ok, you found a loophole. Nobody gets that loophole anymore.
A jackpot question was asking for the name of an Italian author, and four separate teams took a shot at Giuseppe Verdi, Giuseppe Rossi, Giuseppe Ravioli, and Giuseppe Linguini. We’re pretty sure they were just going for the most stereotypically Italian names they could think of.
When we played a song by Big Audio Dynamite, one team responded that the singer used to be in The Clash. We looked it up, and sure enough, Mick Jones sang both for Big Audio Dynamite and The Clash. So saying “that band that had the same lead singer as The Clash” is not technically wrong and got a point. (Though the team that got the point still came last.)
See you next week.
