The greater the risk the greater the reward, but the chance of answering 
disappeared about half-way up the scale.  Movie release dates in Poland? 
  Despite the great entertainment in seeing Adam trying to read it (I 
thought Brian was going to have to administer a sedative or have him 
reconfigure an LDAP set up or something), it was way beyond my ken: I 
spent my time checking Peter for an ethernet jack in his neck or something.

Jon and I also got some other questions right too, like fonts and 
firewalls.  Even when we knew the answers we couldn't beat Peter to the 
button, but that didn't hurt our team.

I'm just glad we didn't have to undergo drug testing.  Is caffeine a 
banned substance?  Dr. Pepper?
