INTERESTING MOMENTS

We found out that one team has been choosing the last place subject by just hitting “random article” on Wikipedia. That’s how we got questions on the Headcorn & Maidstone Junction Light Railway, and obscure 19th century English railway that was never actually built.

The police turned up to deal with a disturbance outside of one of our venues, and stayed to listed to a few questions. We are single handedly reducing the effectiveness of the police.

One player was caught cheating, though apparently it was without any malice. It actually didn’t occur to him that looking up answers on your phone was against the rules.

You know that Jimmy Buffet song about margaritas? What was it? Margarita City? Margaritaburg? Margaritapolis?

And one team had two answers down for the minefield bonus round, and argued intensely about whether they should go for a third. We didn’t tell them that both of their answers were already wrong. They argued for five minutes for absolutely no reason.

See you next week.
