INTERESTING ANSWERS
One team failed to convince us that it was a coincidence that they happened to Google David Bowie five seconds after we asked a question of David Bowie. (And after that they still didn’t get the right answer.)
One team confused Russell Crowe with Russell Brand, and spend a a couple of minutes trying to think of what Russell Brand roles got Oscar nominations.
When asking what kind of mythology Narcissus came from, one of our hosts accidentally asked “what type of Greek mythology was Narcissus from?” And worse, some teams still didn’t guess Greek.
One of our players helpfully read off the numbers 1 through 4 in Vietnamese, because her pronunciation was a LOT better than ours would have been.
One of our players won beer on a bonus question by writing the answer on the closest thing he had to hand… his hand.
One team refused to answer a question on the distance between Sydney locations as the crow flies, because they claimed there are no crows in Australia. There are.
And one team complained that the homework question was too hard to do without looking it up. It’s the homework question. It gets e-mailed to everyone who wants it before the show. It’s SUPPOSED to be too hard to do without looking it up.
