INTERESTING MOMENTS

Instead of just answering “mitosis”, one team gave a detailed explanation of the various phases of the splitting of cells.

A new team nearly talked themselves out of a correct answer on a bonus question. They did their level best to drop the ball, and just managed to win in spite of themselves.

Another team yelled out the answer from across the room, rather than writing it down. And a few seconds later, another team wrote down their answer and took the bonus.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We asked about the internal angles of a pentagon, and one player remembered learning how to figure that out in school, and also complaining that they would never need to know that in the real world. Well you could have won at trivia with that information!

We asked about countries by area that aren’t spelled with the letter A. Someone asked what about Greenland or Denmark. Really? Are you sure you want to pursue that?

Following a question about the Julia Roberts film Pretty Woman, we overheard one player say she studied that film in high school. What? Is this common in Austalia?

In a jackpot, one team briefly tried to argue that Guns N Roses was an anagram of Rad Dungeons if you spelled it with the word “and”. And then they noticed that Guns AND Roses has too many Ss, and also too many letters, and also isn’t the name of the band.

Someone guessed that you have a prostate in your throat. Note: If you do have a prostate in your throat, please seek medical attention.

And you are always welcome to have your birthday at trivia. Especially when you bring Gin & Tonic cupcakes.

See you next week.
