We're trying to run a tournament here. Can't they at least get the questions right? I'm sure it affected several bars' results.

During the Marathon round 6/14/18:

Which of these countries shares a land border with the Russian Federation?

Correct answer: Ukraine
Other Correct Answer: Norway

Sigh.

My (least) favorite part was when they once did it during the Encore question.

It's only 50% of your score, here are two correct answers, pick which one we want, good luck! :twisted:

That caught my eye as well. There was a consensus at the table that size does matter.

The following afternoon, playing Countdown, I was asked to identify a popular children's game: Blind Man's Buff.

Should Child Protection Services be notified?

I saw the same question and thought maybe a typo myself but was informed by another in the group that Buff was, in fact, the original title of the game based on an older meaning of the word.
