Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 23 December 2018

Merry Christmas everyone.

Santa is going to be pretty busy this week, but after Christmas he’ll likely have some spare time on his hands.

So for your team name this week we want you to speculate on what Santa does on Boxing Day.

Watch the cricket.

Get alarmingly drunk.

Spend a week in a diabetic coma after eating millions of mince pies.

Anything that describes Santa’s Boxing Day will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

A last place team chose a specific season of the Bolton Wanderers Football Club as their special subject, and turned up the next week only to realise that they were off by one year and had chosen the wrong season.

We overheard someone say “he can’t be tall. He goes to the gym.” Because… going to the gym makes you short?

When we asked a dilemma question on whether people would accept $200,000 cash if it meant they had to leave the country immediately for one year, two players started leaving the room before we finished asking the question (and explained that nobody was getting any cash.)

And it was a big week for birthdays among our players, with multiple people choosing to celebrate by arguing with their friends, and winning in the process. We even threw in a bonus lightning round for one of them.

Most of our shows will be taking a couple of weeks off, with the exception of The Crown in Surry Hills on Thursday which will be the only place to get your trivia fix for the next two weeks.  See you next week.

Interesting Question of the Day – 19 December 2018

Someone did the math on the cost of using turn signals.

If petrol costs $1.30 per litre, you use your turn signals 20 times per day for 10 seconds each time, and you have 10 watt LED bulbs, what is the annual cost?

Is it 5 cents, 50 cents, $5, or $50?

Note: We’re just talking the cost in petrol, not the cost of replacing burned out bulbs.
