INTERESTING MOMENTS

Someone else asked for clarification when we asked about the west coast of Canada, wanting to be sure that when we said the west coast we meant the one one the west side of the country rather than the east.
And one of our favourite things is seeing teams talk themselves out of correct answers. In that spirit, one of our teams got the right answer to a jackpot question, and then opted for something else.
