QUIZ RECAP

Pi Day, the week after the Oscars, the embarrassment of several politicians this week, and the closing of The Body Shop.  It's been an eventful week, but none more eventful than quiz at Aslin tonight!

We even had to effect a tiebreaker when Some Nuts No Sesame and Pi-thons tied for first, but Nuts won out in the end.  Numerical guesses are hard--is this one of those places where we can blame common core maths?

We discovered more about the Book of Kells than most people knew, learned that Hannah Irwin is not a stand-up comedian, and debated the merits of various US ski resorts.  I think we're well ready for mid-March and spring.

Wrong Answer of the Game:

A beloved 80s cartoon once contained "Where Are You?" as part of its title.  That show...was not...the Smurfs.  But can you imagine?  Papa, papa Smurf, where are you?  I've got a cat for you now.  Papa Papa Smurf, I see you, he's going to eat your shoe now. 

Trivianistas, as always, thanks for coming out.  I'll be back again next week, for those of you who survive the Ides.  Same bat pub, same bat time.

Keep on quizzin'!
