INTERESTING MOMENTS

On a question about British Prime Ministers and Hugh Grant characters, a team of Brits managed to pick just 3/5 correctly, which is barely better than average. (They still won though.)

One team saw a picture of Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas, and guessed that it was Rishi Sunak.

Two minutes after we played a song, it came up on the jukebox and half the room heard it in full all over again.

One team only knew Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven because of the Simpsons. Which is a perfectly fair place to pick up knowledge on higher culture.

And our quarterly tournment has three weeks left and there are still plenty of teams in the running both for the overall title and for the highest average.
