Clara & Molly's Wonderful Quiz - GAME THREAD

Baggly

Yeah the debate in our group was Denmark vs Canada vs Greenland itself.

Mollyb60

Just to clarify the isthmus question - anything that mentioned a land bridge, narrow, thin, or something to that effect would get the point. I needed a mention of the piece of land being narrow. Land on it's own wasn't acceptable.

*awaits outrage for the LOTR question*

(btw I was accepting suicide for Q1)

My favourite answer for round 10 was from the team who said they take off their clothes in the next scene for the Eurovision one. Now that would be a talking point for Eurovision fans!

Well now I need to have crisps with my lunch!!

Green&Red

Molly, you're from the north, lets face it that might as well be China when it comes to "crisps"

Even calling them crisps, they're tayto

How a conversation should go

"I'm going to the shop, do you want some tayto"
"Ya"
"which one"
"Pack of meanies"


Ye don't even have the same actual tayto as us, and your monster munch are an abomination


Any, my question is, how has this affected your setting of this round? Like those ridged ones could be McCoys, which no self-respecting Mayo man would ever touch

Two good rounds though

Well, in fact we have actually taken your concerns into account which is why Clara did the crisp round and not me.



(but actually I'm from Tipperary and would always refer to them as taytos. But I will accept that Nordie Tayto is superior to free Stayto)

Free stayto

Lolololol

Baggly

That has to be the single greatest round in the history of quizzes.
