Oh Tim, you idiot. Disqualified for hitting a tennis ball straight at a ball girl in a moment of frustration. But then it's not like he'd have won anything anyway.

Question 6 could also be asked as:

"Are you British?"

If yes, you get a point. If no, you don't get a point.

Trick question for all of us non-Brits since it has no relation to success.

Question Eight

When Cluedo was first exported to the United States, Parker Brothers insisted on a change to the name of which murder suspect?

Treeboogermansk said:
Spoiler:
Miss Scarlett

Team Voltron said:
Spoiler:
Colonel Mustard

Team Commonwealth said:
Spoiler:
Reverend Green

Team Integrity said:
Spoiler:
Dr Black

Foxy Boxers said:
Spoiler:
Colonel Mustard

Estrellas Fugaz said:
Spoiler:
Reverend Green


Our survey says:
Spoiler:


Parker Brothers did not think that America would accept a reverend being a murder suspect, and so insisted that he be changed to the far more dull 'Mr Green'. Team Integrity is correct that Dr Black in the UK version was changed to Mr Boddy in the US version, but note that the question asked for a 'murder suspect', not 'victim'.

Team Commonwealth and the Estrellas get a point!

I was planning to switch out question seven but ran out of time and didn't.

New Zealand and France were the 2011 finalists, with New Zealand finally winning what was ultimately rather a dull game.

Scores after Round Two

TeamRound OneRound TwoTotal
Estrellas Fugaz9817
Team Commonwealth5.57.513
Team Voltron6.5612.5
Treeboogermansk6.5511.5
Team Integrity4.5711.5
Foxy Boxers5.5510.5

And so after what will probably be the least yank-friendly round, the Estrellas are well out in front, with the chasing pack still reasonably close together.

Clearly the only way we're going to win this is if we take out Moocher.

On a completely unrelated note, Moocher, I recently went to an otter sanctuary and picked up a gift for you. PM me your address so I can send it.

Protest on question one

We clearly knew who it was...unless there is another f1 driver with a close enough name then it's clearly correct

OK, so this again appears to be a historical inaccuracy now that I do proper research into it. Which I should probably be doing earlier in the process instead of assuming the other pub quizzes that I borrowed half these questions from were correct. But the (almost certainly apocryphal) story I'd heard was that they wanted to play barefoot, but were banned from doing so.
correct answer:
