Well, how much fun did we have last night!?
What began as an informal chat, turned into a tight and closely fought trivia contest.
It started with me and Lisa catching up online for a chat and we were joined shortly after by Greg. We hadn't planned on a competition as this week's goddess (Sandie) was unavailable, and Anthony was off playing Netball or something. I had a few trivia questions laying around and through a couple up. Soon afterwards, we were joined by Jess and Matilda, and the competition really started going. With Lisa beginning with a 5 point head start, Jess ran her down and even took the lead for a while. Then, with Lisa leading by 1.5 points, we came down to the last 3-point question. The question was asked and Jess was eventually able to provide the correct three answers - but a major controversy erupted!! Where was Lisa? Her wireless connection had dropped out on the last question and she was unable to answer!! When she rejoined, she was able to get 2 points on the last question, leaving the scores too close to call given the connection issues. We decided to have a final tie-break, which Lisa won!
Terrific effort everyone, and there was some really funny banter during last night's event.
The questions are provided below, along with who got the right answer, and a running score check. See you all next time.
