Back when I was a waitress, the bar where I worked hosted weekly trivia nights. I was typically on the clock and thus barred from actually participating, but I wasn’t against giving my tables some some hints if it meant a nicer tip for me. Problem is, I’m not particularly knowledgeable. I once managed to help a table cheat by covertly getting them through a section on anime trivia, but they ended up losing the game as a whole because anime is really my only strength.
