Do you think something nefarious is going on? Clara has posted the full table of scores for everyone to see.

He is right. Three teams were tying at that, we weren't in the lead. Is it possible to just address the query??

And there's no way that first picture were bacon fries.

These are bacon fries.





These are frazzles

There is no way you would know that answer unless you googled it..

Hmmm

I just did google it now. We didn't write frazzles for our answer. Which is not the point. Bacon fries is not the correct answer. That and I've eaten enough bacon fries over the years to know the picture we got isn't bacon fries.

Top one looks like an actual pic of a pack someone grabbed - bottom one looks like a manufacturers 'best version of our crisp pic'. We all know Big Macs look different in RL to how they appear when you buy one.

Or they just look like what they are?

Confession, despite my waistline I did not buy a bag of each of the crisps to photograph and put in a quiz.

The scores and tables are correct.

If there is any real issue can you PM Molly and myself.
Thanks

Those frazzles look completely different to the pic from the quiz. You kind of proved my point for me there.

@Mollyb - there used to be a pub on Botanic Avenue (I think) somewhere close to the empire that did a quiz every sunday nite, I've looked through google maps but can't find it. Can you help me? It is bugging me!

Nah, just crap at crisps apparently. It was an impressive feat tbh and it's heartbreaking to fall at the last hurdle but thats the way the cookie crumbles.

Or the crisp in this case :pac:

I had great craic playing anyway. Nearly lost my mind over a couple of questions and quite happy with how we did even if we were never in contention for top spot.

Thanks again Molly and Clara

Problem is a lot of the pubs around there have changed names so it might not be called what you knew it as?

I've been to a quiz in the Taphouse (now called the Playwright bar), that's just off Botanic so it could be that one. It's on Lower Crescent.
There aren't many pubs on Botanic actually. The one on the corner straight across from the Empire is called Townhouse now. Think it used to be called the Metro bar. Not sure if that ever did quizzes.

Not the Eg up across from The Bot, no? I know they did quizzes a lot. Or Ryans on the Lisburn Road? That does themed quizzes all the time and they're usually great craic.

Yeah we were bad at the crisps alright. I figured everyone would be and most were so ..... We almost got away with it, if it wasn't for those meddling kids on team 5!

Fair play to you folks for running it. Cracking quiz with a good variety of rounds and questions.

Thanks to Team 10 for being a top notch outfit.
