Slipp Inn Quiz Night

Wednesday 23 June

So our eagerly awaited start up quizz night at Slipp Inn arrived in June (even though they had been going since February !)

The original 8 of us were somewhat depleted as the obvious pressure took its toll. 4 of us were left to fly the Ferry Girls flag. Having spent the previous night randomly Googling facts.... we felt well prepared to better our efforts of second (to last) out of about 20 teams on our final quizz night a year ago.

However we did not bank on the collectively squillions of brain cells that had died during the intervening year - and we seemed to be showing signs of a trend (at losing).

The Brain Teaser section was so bad - not only didn't we get even one question correct - we still didn't get it when they told us the answers....!

Of course we did notice lots of people openly cheating using their Samsung Galaxy SII's - especially on the ponderous puzzle - unless they were all texting home to say they'd be late for dinner of course.

Well we cheated too :-P but we didn't even get that right - as instead of Googling a clue on the first round to earn the 10 points - we waited to cheat until the 6th round to cheat and get 4 points...d'uh.

Finally the end - and with the scores all in - first up was The Second To Last Prize which went to........Correct - The Ferry Girls!!!

So now our name is etched on the almost-losers cup for a second time.

But hey - we got the $20 bar tab.....
