Hanging out with smart people can make you a winner

A team from Ellen's work won the pub quiz at Elephant and Castle last night.

I didn't show up until the 3rd round, and I think I gave as many wrong answers as right answers, so my contribution was minimal. But I still bragged a lot about my correct answers.

The psychology of coming to a consensus when no one knows an answer and different people have different ideas of a best guess is interesting.

The secret for winning a trivia contest if you're old is making sure you have enough young people on your team to answer questions about recent music and Britney's offspring and vice-versa.
