Dealing with the Covid-19 adjustments (separating contestants and not allowing them to confer):

This resulted in a drop off 17% of answers cleaned up (average percentage of possible cleaned up answers in Seasons 1, 2, 3, and 5 was about 46%, and the percentage of possible cleaned up answers in Season 4 was 29% ). This adjustment is also seen in the drop of average scores and average answers per team by 4.7% in Season 4 (16.04 answers per team per game in the other four seasons vs 15.3 answers per team per game in Season 4 - score of 3451 vs 3289).

This edit indicates the game theory advantage of working together as a strategy.

This should be in the main section - the perfect game was not in the bonus round (even though they won)...

On October 29, 2019, "The Canadians" (Ayumi Iizuka, Doug Morency, David Ivkovic, and Paul 'PK' Kingston) became the first team to complete a perfect game, amassing 10,400 points in three perfect rounds of 1,700 points, 3,400 points, and 5,100 points (plus a 200-point steal), and winning the bonus round. As of Season 5, only two other teams have surpassed 8,000 points - both also in Season 3 ("The Divas" with 9,200 points on October 3, 2019 and "The Alley Cats" with 8,100 points on December 10, 2019 -> "The Alley Cats" won the bonus round).

Additional bonus round information:

As of Season 5, 106 teams have been successful in the Bonus Round (19.63%). Over that time, there have been 5 teams to complete the Bonus Round in 20 or fewer seconds, but the best was "Games With Friends" during the episode that aired August 28th, 2019 who completed the task with 47 seconds still on the clock - 1.3 seconds per answer provided.
