The School held it\u2019s first pub quiz on 27 November in Origins. The event was a huge success with 17 teams entering: 3 staff and 14 student teams, with some very entertaining team names such as \u2018Bangers & Nash\u2019, \u2018Fiscal Drag Queens\u2019 and \u2018Keyne Beans\u2019. There was a friendly, competitive atmosphere and a strong desire to win School of Economics hoodies! Dr Bill Collier took on the role of questionmaster, and with all answers peer-marked, there was little room for cheating (although we know some tried!).<\/p>\n
Ultimately, a staff team of experienced quizzers won, but they gallantly deferred their coveted prize of a hamper and Economics hoodies to the next winners; the student team \u2018Adam Smith\u2019s Invisible Glove\u2019. A team of PhD students (DSGE \u2012 Dumb Stupid and Generally Erroneous) came second and won a hoody for each member. The School Admin team, \u2018Minsky Moments\u2019 came third, and also donated their prize of Amazon vouchers to the MSc student team \u2018Rationally Irrational\u2019. It was a great night and many people expressed a\u00a0desire to participate in more events like this, organised by the School.<\/p>\n
