INTERESTING MOMENTS

When we asked about a single use object being sold on countless online sales sites in Australia, instead of giving us plastic supermarket bags, some teams went with German World Cup tops, condoms, and Thai soccer strips.

When someone thought the first of one of our special subject questions on Abba was too easy they complained. When we asked the second, their opponents got it right, but they didn’t. (DO NOT ask us to make things tougher unless you’re going to bring it!)

The Irish currency before the Euro was “the Potato” according to one of our teams.

In response to a question about what happened to two Edvard Munch paintings, one team recounted the entire plot of the film Bean, with Rowan Atkinson accidentally destroying them and replacing them with gift shop posters.

And when we asked a special subject question on the first German Field Marshal to surrender in WWII, one team didn’t know his name, but they did know the story about Hitler making him a Field Marshal as a way of pressuring him to commit suicide rather than surrender, and that’s actually more interesting than knowing the answer to the question we asked.

See you next week.
