New iPhone App Not Good for Quizzo Cheaters

iphoneInteresting article in Fast Company yesterday about iPhone’s new search engine WolframAlpha, and how it comes up short when trying to cheat at quizzo with it. If you wanna cheat, the article concludes, stick with google. 

And the final cheat scores: Google 9/10, WolframAlpha 5/10. Predictably, unless you’re taking part in a science quiz, Google is your cheating search engine of choice. It’s also easier to whisper to your pub quiz team-mates, when you’re a couple of pints into the evening and have a mouthful of chips.

Kinky Quizzo Host Opening

kinkyAny lady looking for an advanced career in the burgeoning quizzo market is advised to apply for the Kinky Quizmaster post at Valanni. I have to admit, I’ve never played Kinky Quizzo (at the risk of sounding supercilious*, I try to keep terms like Cleveland Steamer and Roman Helmet out of my conversations these days), but I suppose it could be interesting. 

“Got a big mouth, a dirty mind?” asks Karwoski. “Are you quick witted, well-read? Always dreamed of talking Dirty Sanchezes and getting paid? Think you can handle the mic? I’ll be the judge of that. Bring it!  Compete to be the next Kinky Quizzo host at Valanni.”

Anybody ever been to one of these things? Let me know how it was. 

*I suppose using words like supercilious makes me sound supercilious.
