INTERESTING MOMENTS
We told one of our players he looked like a Lord of the Rings character and he said it was the nicest thing anyone had ever said to him.
One team got every aspect of a practical math question wrong, but they got it wrong in a very specific way that meant that they coincidentally got the right answer by sheer luck.
We asked a special subject question about the Apollo 8 astronauts, and one team did better than naming one like we asked. They named all three, and got extra points for their efforts. Another team listed Matt Damon, Sandra Bullock, and Tom Hanks, and we gave them a point because Tom Hanks played astronaut Jim Lovell in Apollo 13.
One team didn’t listen to a player on their team from Sweden, when she said the answer to a bonus question was Sweden. General advice for trivia: If someone from Sweden says it’s Sweden, IT’S ALMOST CERTAINLY SWEDEN!
See you next week.

“Alright Jim, your quarterlies look very good. How are things going at the library?”

One team came to one of our shows on Monday, and enjoyed it so much that they came again on Wednesday… so we had to come up with an alternate bonus round on the fly as they had already heard it. Luckily we’re pretty good at what we do.
A team was sufficiently into Ariana Grande that they guessed that she starred in Gone With the Wind, and was the model for Botticelli’s Birth of Venus.
And one couple got married last Saturday & left for their honeymoon on Tuesday, but made a point of going to trivia on Monday because they knew they wouldn’t be able to make their usual weekly show.
