INTERESTING MOMENTS

The Thai bar staff at one venue new SHOCKINGLY little about Thailand.

We were looking for the most common word ending with IAN, and got some very odd guesses, including complain, which has the wrong order of letters, comedian, Asian, Canadian, and lesbian, before someone came up with Christian. Perhaps our players just aren’t that pious.

When asked how long it would take to fall from the Harbour Bridge, one team guessed 31 seconds… which wouldn’t even be true if you had a parachute.

Someone who was out of trivia ideas guessed that Tony Abbott was the leader of Libya, and Brett McKenzie did a stint as Prime Minister of New Zealand.

We had an argument over whether or not ice hockey is a real sport. (For the record, IT IS!)

When we gave PRO BEATNIK as an anagram of a Keanu Reeves film, one team came up with a long list of possible anagrams including OPT IN BREAK, but still couldn’t get Point Break.

And someone concluded that Barack Obama played the lead role in Black Panther.

See you next week.
