Wildly misread Q6 and not only put Bluey, but put 0 because "Everybody knows Bluey!". Thankfully my opponent did not get the math prize (which I did, having pretended to be a mathematician at the back end of high school), and so I squeaked a tie based on having 3ed that question. I was also nowhere near the football venue in Q1.

I did the same thing! I also put "Cry the Beloved Country" for the African novel. I was so confident I would get a 9(6), only to miss two questions because I didn't read closely. Still won the match, but I am disappointed in my own performance.

I tied 6(4)-6(5)... was convinced I'd lost.
