IFE multi-player games antics
Any amusing experiences? I occupied the flight time from EMA-CUN on TOM (Ł200 return, 33" seat pitch - not bad) playing the in-flight anagram game. As there was not much else to do, there were quite a few other people playing (about 20 typically).
After I'd got to the top of the leaderboard (each game is about 20 anagrams) as 'KING', I realised that you could only post one score in the top 10, so I renamed myself to 'KING1', 'KING2', 'KING3', etc. By the end of the flight, mission-accomplished - all 10 positions were mine (sad I know). Some of the other pax thought it better to come up with amusing nicknames (seemed not to be censored).
Anyone got any IFE games-related stories?

NZ had a promotion a while ago on their flights to SYD where the first person to win a million dollars on their who wants to be a millionaire game won a free return trip to SYD. I, unfortunately, couldn't get past the $32,000 question.

Great promo, that would certainly keep me occupied the whole way to SYD. If I knew in advance, I'd probably download the Wikipedia database onto a laptop (about 100GB), and have it open for research purposes.
