Because people are stupid.
Yes. Enough said. Do not read beyond this point.
Yesterday was a life changing experience for me.
I managed to successfully watch first hand as a team answered every question in a quiz and the organizers were naive enough not to notice that someone from their team had managed to rig the quiz.
If that’s not enough there was a cash prize only for the winners. So hallelujah to that.
If that’s not bad enough guess what happens when you get tied and there’s a tie breaker after two hours of convincing a team of baboons the difference between Patni and Igate.
For starters, the questions that are going to get asked are going to be from a pool of unasked questions in the quiz. Anyone in their right mind can easily figure out that if they know all the answers to the questions in the main quiz they would have easily had access to the remainder of the questions as well.
Eventually I was reminded of Murphy’s Law.
“If things are meant to go wrong they will in the worst possible way” and so as I traveled back home I cursed the sons of a bitches, had a mint oreo shake, listened to the Beatles and let it go.
