Quiz update:

As a test, the Quizmaster asked ChatGPT the questions that had been posed to the teams at the NYC quiz on Wednesday, 30^th October. From this experiment, the conclusion can be drawn that some of the teams are no less intelligent than the artificial kind. And ChatGPT spilled its drink.

On Wednesday, a tight tussle that featured different leaders at different stages, eventually saw The Corner Boys arrive back in the bigtime, pipping perennial performers Wizard by a point, with the novices Quiztopher Columbus an encouraging third. Chancellors, who floated to the front first, finished fourth. The peloton was well grouped in behind, although horizon scanners spotted commodore-to-be Frank Cassidy somewhat adrift in his Cruising for a Bruising. Pull your oar out Frank!

As a post-script, Michael and Sara are consulting with the Quizmaster regarding the first quiz of the season. Although the result on the night stands, the allocation of points in the Overall Leaderboard table may be adjusted. Watch this space.

The next quiz will take place on Wednesday, 13^th November. All are welcome to attend and participate, and we encourage all teams to be there and ready to go by 8pm sharp!

Quiz update

New year, new competition, new quizmaster – same result.

Congratulations to team Wizard who have kicked off their campaign for a ‘three-peat’ with a win in the first quiz of the Brains of the Bay series. Wizard pipped the other form teams from last year, Enchantress and T.B.M., by a single point. Good early performances also came in from The Dirty Ruckers, Teamtastic, and All At Sea.

The quiz was well-attended with 20 teams packing out the dining room. Thanks to Patrick Madigan for taking the microphone – he has been assured that his portrait will be hung in the gallery of venerable quizmasters.

The next quiz will take place on Wednesday 30^th October at 8pm sharp! All members are welcome to attend and participate for a fun evening of only-sometimes-difficult questions. 

See you there.
