INTERESTING MOMENTS
We had to penalise one player for guessing more than once on a number based bonus question. Sure they got the right answer, but on their third guess. So we had to go back on give it to the next closest. Again people, when it’s a number based bonus question, you get ONE guess.
Some of you decided to propose new occupations for our hosts.
Roman Emperor? Librarian? Not as fun as hosting trivia. (And a higher chance of being the target of a stabbing or the subject of a porn film.)
After asking a split question for Sydney & Canberra, one team wanted to know why we weren’t asking a question about Amsterdam. So we added an Amsterdam option, which they wound up not taking. Ingrates!
One guess that a margarita was made from tequila, red wine, lemonade, and salt, inspired one of our players to try his hand as a mixologist.
One player mixed up Kill Bill with Frozen. Which was nowhere near correct, but would certainly make for an interesting film.
And one of our hosts was having some audio trouble and it took ten minutes before he realised that he had accidentally hit the mute button on his computer. Because we are just that smart!
See you next week.
