Fun/Pub Quiz/Team O'Tuna

Yeeih – great fun at the Pub Quiz!

Our Team O’Tuna which consists of 8

people, took part at the pub quiz last Thursday (2013-11-12).

Sarah K., Sarah E., Marlene, Helene, Michaela, David, Sebastian, Magdalena and me decided to found a team that meets every Thursday to take part in the pub quiz in the English Pub „The Office“. As it was our first time taking part, we were a so-called “Virgin-Team”. Surprisingly we did the 34^th place out of 43 teams.

As big tables in pubs are very rare, we decided that two of us would always have to go to the pub earlier and oppose a big table. To find out who this unlucky people are, everybody has to pick one toothpick. Two of the toothpicks are shorter than the other ones, so the people who pick one of those have to go to the pub early.

First of all, we had to find a suitable name for our group. There were a couple of suggestions, from which I consider “Happy Hoagascht”, “Trunk Table” (you get the pun?) and of course “Team O’Tuna” as the best ones.

In the first part of the competition there were 10 pictures given and we had to find out which star was shown on each picture. The trick was that all stars were dressed up.

As you can see in the picture we had five correct answers which I consider a very good result for the first time.

Please, take a look in picture number 8 – how could we have found out who this is? You can only see his chin and that the person is male. You can neither see his hair, nor his whole body, nor his ears. Until today I haven’t found out who this is ;-) IMPOSSIBLE (at least it was for us)

The following two quiz parts were really hard as well. Questions were asked and we had to write the answer down on a sheet. We had 5 out of 20 correct answers which was not a perfect result. I think however, this isn’t a too bad outcome for a “Virgin-Team”.

The funniest exercise was the one, where we had to rank the most evil people in the world. I think you cannot ever answer this as all those people are incredibly evil and cruel! Man, they listed Stalin, Hussain, Bush and Bin Laden!

The following exercises had to do with music. In one exercise there were songs played that stopped at a certain point. We had to write down the following  2-4 words of the song – and this was especially funny because the whole pub started to sing the song. The question master was only shaking his head as he said, that we hadn’t got the point of the quiz – a team should never ever say the correct answer loudly so that another team could hear it :D

In the end we didn’t win, but we also didn’t lose! Still nobody was happy about our fail (well, almost nobody):
