Who's got a funny Pub Quiz name for me?

I run the quiz at my local and have found that you get groups of youngsters in who think "great I will Google everything" but they are usually let down by:
i) The answers they think they know so don't google they get wrong.
ii) I do a mid quiz marking break so don't give much time to google everything.
iii) I will knock a few marks off to make sure they don't win if I catch them, as they know they cheated they never argue.
Very difficult to police as people are generally perma buried in their phones these days.
What I suspect is much harder to police is the clever teams sending one member to take a mid quiz poo and googling the one or two things that team don't know.
As part of my day job I have made mobile phone jammers and have considered bringing one with me to the quiz, but then I couldn't read PH between questions.

p.s. Quiz Ackabussi is a favourite of mine.
The quizes ive been too require you to hand in the answer form every round (a quiz being 8 10 question rounds), there is some time to think things over at the end of the round, but there is no big break where you can go back all the wayi) The answers they think they know so don't google they get wrong.
