QUIZ RECAP

Sun Mar 3 2019

This is *Bob.

Bob doesn't listen to instructions. Bob overruled his team and doubled or nothing on Round 7. Bob thought the Quizmaster was being sly. NOTE: The Quizmaster, normally sly, was not being sly - he was simply reading the question.

Bob, hearing the question but choosing to ignore the question, snatched his team pen away and scribbled his answers and excitedly ran it up to be graded. Amid the screams of Bob's team to consult them first - Bob turned around and yelled, "I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, I got this!"

Bob -if you haven't guessed by now - didn't "got this".

In his haste to prove his worth to his team, Bob missed several important things. One - that the question had nothing to do with Harry Potter. Two - that there was more than one question.

Yes, faithful readers, you guessed it: Bob wrote down all 7 of the Harry Potter novels and then the two Fantastic Beasts screenplays followed by the Cursed Child play. Because Bob thought the question was about books written by JK Rowling that were set in the Wizarding World. If Bob had listened, he would have found that the question clearly stated that it was looking for books NOT set in the Wizarding World. Furthermore, it was only asking for five books - there was a whole other question about actors who have played Superman.

Bob was reamed by his team. His exploits were shared over the mic. His team - whom had safely secured a spot in the final three as of round 6 - didn't place. Bob may or may not have been jumped by his team outside of Barney's immediately thereafter.

Don't be like Bob.

 

*I think his real name is like Kenny or something but Bob just worked better for storytelling purposes
