~ Sitting in an entirely new section of the restaurant, in an uncomfortable table facing the wall, increases the intelligence of the team 10 fold. Who knew?
~ I'm the only person - in the history of the world - that doesn't feel better after "crying it out."
~ Seeing as I live so close to DC and Fort Meade and work in Technology, I should really have known who the Secretary of Defense is. Also, seeing as we had this exact question just a few weeks ago, I should have remembered the answer. Nope! (Ashton Carter in case you were wondering - a name that doesn't even sound the faintest bit familiar)
~ When given the option of 4 answers, and then narrowing it down to 2 - always choose one of the other 2 you didn't narrow it down to. That's the way trivia logic works.
~ Not only were we finally able to get a spelling question correct, but we actually knew what the word was going to be before the definition was fully read. Usually we guess an entirely different word before the question-asker says what word it will be.
~ The inventor of the Pringles can had his ashes buried in one. An event I have never heard about (I don't even like Pringles) but somehow managed to correctly guess.
~ It's better to order your chicken fingers in a cone and then order your french fries separately just to make sure you get a plate instead of a basket for your food. The rest of the team will laugh at you a great deal if those fries come in a basket anyway!
~ There is a tunnel in Brooklyn NY that is longer than the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. I don't know about you, but almost 2 miles in a tunnel seems like my worst nightmare.
~ The President Pro Tempor is the 3rd in line for the presidency. I'm fairly certain that this job was created specifically for the Trivia game, because I know I've never learned about any such position in the government. No recollection whatsoever.
~ Even with limited Harry Potter knowledge, I can still differentiate my squibs from my mudbloods.
