Oh Quiz Master ...... if I (hypothetically) had the dvd of a hypothetical film and happened to watch said hypothetical film (just by chance) and then got the answer to a question at any point either now or in the future, is that against the rules? ;)
-
Hypothetically if you already had the DVD and hypothetically accidentally happened to watch it then that is okay ;)
BUT if you in a premeditated manner went out and purchased or rented the movie in physical (DVD/Blu-ray) or digital form or streamed it knowing that the answer to a quiz question may be contained within, then that would be against the rules and spirit of the quiz and I would have to whip out my quiz master's red pen and strike out the answer and issue a formal warning and deduct 5 points.
The above is just hypothetical as I know no Princess would ever employ such devious tactics ;)

Hypothetically I can watch the movie too as it's on our server?

After discussion with my legal team it was decided hypothetically that it is permissible to watch a movie (which may or may not have the hypothetical answer to a hypothetical quiz question) that is stored on a personal server providing you watch the WHOLE movie and do NOT skip through just to find a hypothetical answer to a hypothetical question.
Light bulb idea, in the next quiz a question about the etymology of the word hypothetical its uses and derivation may or may not be include this is of course purely hypothetical ;)

Watch the whole of The Full Monty? Not a problem! It came out when I was 7 months pregnant with Katie and I was laughing so hard the woman next to me in the cinema was worried I’d go into labour (rofl)
