There Are Too Many Islands
Happy Valentine’s Day, no one.
Just kidding - we were happy to see teams and assorted Tinder dates celebrating love last night by arguing over the locations, names, and number of Danish islands. 35 teams also knew a surprising amount about balloons and the wiggly fins of the Batmobile in Batman Forever. Contrary to popular belief, though, Zayn Malik does not have Lao Tzu’s entire body of work tattooed on his arm.
We kicked off Season 1 of our eight-week quiz league this week - thanks to the teams who joined! We take your six best games for the league, so registration is still open here at the league page. If you’re playing, check out the league board each week.
The Østerbros and C U Next Tuesday had an exciting shoot-out tiebreaker at the top spot, with the Østerbros using their Olympic knowledge to take the bottle and C U Next Tuesday dominating the Broadway music round for their second place pints. Long Tall and Quizzy watched a lot of TV - leading to a perfect visual round and third place.
Good sports Griegos split their most average prize five ways while gooder sports Bastards graciously accepted their round of Norwegian Surprise Fluid in last place.
