We also came second last night, due to one particularly nasty round where you had to identify a person in as few clues as possible. If you got it on the first clue you got 10 points, then 7 points, 4 points and 2 points. The first clue was "Hollywood actor born on 18 December 1963 in the state of Oklahoma." We couldn't even come up with a sensible guess, but one of the teams guessed correctly and took the full 10 points. It took is all four clues before we got it!

The last round was a "wipe-out" round i.e. if you get any of the answers wrong, none of the answers after that counts. The team whose paper we were marking got the first question wrong, so scored nothing! Particularly brutal. The question was "How is H2SO4 more commonly known?" and they said hydrogen sulfide. They were adamant that it was the same thing as sulfuric acid, until it was pointed out to them that one's a gas and the other's an acid... :-)
