Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 24 March 2024

Last Saturday was the anniversary of an event you may never have heard of.

It was 23 March 1965 that John Young went into space on the Gemini 3 mission… and he brought a corned beef sandwich with him.

It got us thinking, what would you smuggle into space if you went.

Make that your team name for a bonus point this week.

My dog. He won’t let me go to the toilet alone, so he’s not going to let me go to space alone.

A gorilla suit, so I could mess with people when I returned.

A lightsaber. You never know when it might come in handy.

A return ticket.

Tell us what you would bring to space for a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One of our players gave one of our hosts a bottle of home made strawberry mead. For the record, mead is always welcome.

Who is 8 feet tall and hideously ugly? We were looking for Frankenstein, but one team said their dad. We don’t know him, but for all we know he may be Frankenstein.

When we give you options of 1, 5, or 28 to choose from, you should really choose one of them, rather than choosing 11.

When we ask you a bonus question where you get one guess, you get ONE guess. You don’t get three, and you don’t get to use a calculator.

And with one week left to go in the quarterly tournament, it looks like it’s already decided.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

When asked what they thought people around the world would most want self driving cars to avoid hitting, a surprising number of parents DIDN’T say children.

Before playing an audio clip where we were asking for a science fiction TV series, a historical figure, and the decade it was set, one team wanted to lock in their guess before hearing the clip. They got all three right. (We gave them a bonus point because DAMN that’s unlikely.)

One player was wearing this shirt when we asked a dilemma question about whether they would accept $200,000 to wear a dog cone for a year.

Our bonus round this week involved the Crufts dog show, and one of our venues had Crufts on TV throughout the quiz. Not sure how much it helped.

And The Smith Family are in the lead as we approach the end of our quarterly tournament, but they can still be caught.
