There are no prizes up for grabs, but daily scores do go on a little spreadsheet accessible to maybe ten people to see who wins the week. A certain colleague consistently performs...better than expected. He's one of those know-it-all types who doesn't really know much, but won't stop relentlessly trying to prove he knows everything to anyone who'll listen. He's been caught passing bollocks off as definitive fact in the past, for example. For months everyone and his dog has assumed that he's been cheating, but you can never be absolutely sure with this sort of thing, right?
Last Wednesday one of the answers was Rodney Dangerfield. I can't remember the question, but it mentioned Caddyshack. I'd put Bill Murray, and this guy was over by my desk, running the rule over what I'd put. 'You didn't get that? I knew it because he's the voice of Mr. Burns' son in The Simpsons'. Pertinent info - supervisor's printer access was borked, so at this point he was sitting in an empty seat next to this guy's usual pc. Hung over, not quite sure what was going on, supervisor said 'wait, what? That's weird, you just said Mr. Burns' son and I've literally just seen that over here'. Cutting to the chase, unfortunately minus a guffawing Bradley Walsh: quiz cheat was signed into Google on both machines and 'voice of Mr. Burns son' had popped up in a search on this screen. Dunno if a keystroke triggered it, but there it was.
Have we let it go since? Not on your nelly. He's finally admitted to cheating (rather than the initial 'huh? That's weird. I don't know how that got there. That's weird. Can you log me out?' response) but claims it was only that once and that it's not really cheating because he knew the answer anyway. Ok m8.
Edit: plus, someone may or may not have accidentally typed 'who' or 'what' into his search bar since and discovered a wealth of daily quiz related dirt.
