I thought some folks here might enjoy this recent Washington Post article about a cheating scandal in the D.C. pub trivia scene. While the reporting is deliberately tongue-in-cheek, this issue will be familiar to all:

That use of an Apple Watch app to get music titles played by the Live trivia host is not really related to Buzztime trivia but is another example of what people will do to win.

For the record this happened in Virginia not Maryland or DC where we have higher standards.

Virginia is a sneaky place.

At our Live trivia games phones must be put away. Watches are suspect now.

Only because Marylanders have been moving to VA to get away from Maryland's tax and tax more politicians, forcing us decent Virginians to move to Florida. LOL

Oh I agree on the very high taxes in MD. I’d skip moving to VA and go straight to FL like you did. Got to talk Opiee into moving to FL but she’s not a fan of some of the governor’s ideas. How long before he’s gone?
