Resistance is Trivial

I went with my wife and some friends to play trivia at a local bar. We finished second to last, which is pretty embarrassing for a well educated group of young adults. In my beer-addled frame of mind I have come up with some theories as to why we did so poorly.

Our heads are full of mainly useful information.

Everyone else in the bar was a Nobel Laureate.

Everyone else in the bar was using their IPhone to cheat.

We were worried about being send to the Principal's office for 'Being Smart'.

The questions they asked were culturally biased against yuppies.

We answered the questions not as the quiz master asked them, but as he would have intended if he were capable of the same incredible feats of intellectual prowess as we are.

We drank enough beer to reduce us to a state where "Your Mom" becomes a plausible answer to any questions.
