10 Sure Fire Ways To Annoy The Hell Out Of A Quizmaster
6. "Well, Actually..."
You know the phrase the quizmaster is always right? I'll let you into a little secret. Sometimes, the quizmaster is a muppet, who failed to properly research the question and figure out that there are more possible answers than they have in front of them. But there's a way to approach this, and the "well, actually" line always makes the guy in charge shudder.
You know you're going to get a vast array of smugness. When the question is about what band David Gilmour played guitar for, everyone is obviously incredibly impressed that you know he was in Joker's Wild. But the assumption is if you know Joker's Wild, then you're a smart cookie but you also know Pink Floyd is what is actually being looked for.
It's important that a quizmaster is open to your pedantry, especially if it's based on actual facts, and not just obscure interpretation that is impossible to prove. You are perfectly within your rights to challenge a stubborn quizmaster who won't take your answer just because it's not written down, when you're 100% right. But even then, I recommend approaching it with something that isn't akin to a Jose Mourinho press conference.
