A tip of the hat to the teams who pre-game (and post-game!) the quiz with games of chess - it’s like chess boxing’s kinder cousin or the 37th chamber of Wu-Tang. Either way, we’re impressed.
40 teams went through all sorts of pre-game rituals last night and many of them paid off. You put up the highest average music round score (with three perfect scores!) in the show’s history, demolished the puzzle round, had expert knowledge of celebrity girlfriends, and endured infinite steamed hams. The author of The Seagull, however, remains an unsolved mystery and we hope to one day discover the truth.
The Østerbros, buoyed by striking river knowledge and undaunted from two nights of quiz in a row, ran away with the first place bottle and collected a few league points along the way. Well, This Was Embarrassing displayed their deranged sense of embarrassment by placing second, and Fritz the Cat made the correct choice of bottled beers in third.
Estoy Holanda’s pre-game ritual was to blow their table candle out - which was suspiciously re-lit when they joyfully split their most average beer. Monkstown’s post-game ritual was just staying in the bar longer than R.A.P., leading them to snatch their last-place prize from the jaws of victory.
Everyone else had rituals too secret and/or erotic to post on the internet. Here’s the week 13 board from Søhesten:
