It was clear that Lena and Julian had put in a lot of effort in the preparation of their first quiz in Murphy’s Law as quizmasters. 😍
The questions were certainly challenging enough – the winning team scored 33 out of 48 points – the picture round was, in my humble opinion, fantastic and the music round very… feminist 😁
Well done, all you quizzers, and well done, Lena and Julian!

Die 10 neue Teams gestern in der Kofferfabrik schlugen sich sehr tapfer im legendär-schweren Dienstagsquiz. Es waren aber 2 Routiniers, die nach 4 Runden mit jewels 20 Punkten führten…: die Gibbsköpfe und Little Quiz Sunshine.
Und dann schwächelten unsere Titelverteidiger, Little Quiz Sunshine, holten ’nur‘ 6 Punkte in Geschichte und Musik, und machten den Weg frei für die Gibbsköpfe, die 10 Punkte erzielten! Die 5 erfahrene Quizzer konnten ihren Vorsprung sogar noch ausbauen und siegten am Ende mit 46 Punkten. Eine grossartige Leistung, Jungs und Judith!
Knights of Knowledge Reloaded lösten das Super Extra Quiz nach 3 (!) Tipps, die Pfesels gewannen den Trostpreis.
Das Sonderthema für das nächste Dienstagsquiz, vorgeschlagen von den Leezenritter, ist die Stadt Münster. City Trip fällig?

Nach eine 33 Tage Quizpause freuten sich die 24 Teams in der Kofferfabrik auf 60 (+1) Fragen, von der relativ viele auch über das Geschehen in den letzten 4 Wochen handelten (König Haakon, Yayoi Kusama, Dolly Parton, Marco Brenner, …).
Drunken Quizzers (bekannt aus Murphy’s Law) und Neptungarten (mit Geheimwaffe Uwe) erzielten 11 Punkte in Geografie und Aktualität und gaben den Ton für ein spannendes Rennen an. Es kamen noch Gin Tonic (7 Punkte in Musik!), Vollnarkose, Little Quiz Sunshine, Wir von Nebenan, Just 4 Fun, Auf Sand Gebaut und Zufallstreffer dazu.
Es gab leider ein paar Nullrunden, in Kunst&Literatur, Film&Fernsehen und Sport 🙈 und die Fränkischen Ratwürste holten nur drei Punkte im von ihnen vorgeschlagenen Sonderthema, die Mongolei. Dafür gewannen die lustigen Würstchen aber die Runde gratis Getränke! 🍺🍷☕️🥃🍸
Am Ende siegte eine Mannschaft sehr souverän, mit 4 Punkten vor den Teams , die sich Platz 2 teilten. Es war…🥁🥁🥁 Neptungarten! Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Alex, Antje, Karin, Sigrid und Uwe!
Das Sonderthema für das nächste Montagsquiz, vorgeschlagen von Just 4 Fun, ist der Honigdachs, der deutlich Bob Dylan und die Punische Kriege in der Abstimmung schlug 😁.

Not quite as hot yesterday in Murphy’s Law and not quite as many teams as usual. Some of the regulars are spending their summer holidays in other regions or other countries or on the other side of the globe…
One of them, James Farrell, had sent us greetings from Sydney and a super duper beer question: ‚How many Australian residents identified themselves as having Irish ancestry at the 2021 Australian census?‘
I had honestly tried to make the questions a bit easier this time and in the first half of the quiz it seemed to work… Drunken Quizzers took the lead with 6 points in Geography (of course 😊) and 5 points in Film&TV. In the next two rounds, Science&Nature and Music, it was 101s and Promotion Square’s turn to score 11 points. 👏👏👏
At half-time 5 teams (!) were in joint first position: Adequate Tools, Drunken Quizzers, 101s, Kackspechte and Promotion Square.
And then the average score dropped drastically, with a couple of zero rounds in Art&Literature, History and especially in my special round ‚Sports and Games Time Travel‘ 🙈. The lego question was alright, but not many were familiar with or had heard of the ancient Greek stadion run or the American sport octopus wrestling…
The two teams that mastered those last 4 rounds best were the two teams that also came first and second in last week’s quiz: Kackspechte (with an almost completely different team than the one that won last week!) and Emmy. Congratulations to both teams! 🤩🤩🤩
Neither Mark nor Bernd knew the answer to the music question, so there is bit of money left in the jackpot for next week’s quiz, the last one before the summer break, which will be hosted by bab and Tessie! 😍

1 – Kackspechte: 35/48

Hello from James Farrell in Sydney!
18 teams braved the sweltering heat yesterday in Murphy’s Law and tried to come up with correct answers for my 48 quiz questions. That did not always work so well, as the rather modest final results show…😬
No 11 or 12 points were scored in any double round and only a couple of 10 points: for Emmy in sports and music, for Kackspechte in history and film&tv.
In the last two rounds, geography and miscellaneous, some great teams from Murphy’s own ‚youth academy‘ like Adequate Tools and Chicken Attack really struggled with the questions about the Malabar coast, Algeria, native Americans and rollercoasters…
The two leading teams, however, held on to their respective first and second position: Kackspechte and Emmy. Peter and Bernd then stepped forward for the bonus question. They both knew the answer (!), which meant that the winners, Kackspechte (ft. Manfred and Melanie), took all the prize money 💰! Congratulations, folks!
Emmy more than earned their whiskys for second place, 101s won the pitcher of beer and Erbsenzähler the booby prize.
Top 5:
1 – Kackspechte: 34/48
2 – Emmy: 33/48
3 – 101s/Promotion Square: 32/48
5 – Drunken Quizzers: 29/48
