QUIZ RECAP

Two weeks away and when I came back I was fit to be TIED! Or rather the six teams competing were. (thanks to Quizmaster Marc Snedden for covering!) Let's go round by round, shall we?

Round One of this week's quiz at Bar Charlie started off strong with a three-way tie between The Huskies, Jose and the Hawks, and Chuck-Less each with 7 points at the end of the round.

Round Two whittled it down to a two-way tie with Chuck-Less and The Huskies at 14 points. But it was Jose and the Hawks that took the lead at 23 points with a well-placed Double or Nothing.

Round Three saw no ties and two unsuccessful Double or Nothings... we don't like to talk about it.

Round Four also saw no ties. But... The Huskies added 10 points with a correct answer on the first clue of the Guess Who round! (we're pretty okay with talking about that)

Round Five was up to its old tricks with Team 5-1-0, The Huskies, Jose and the Hawks, and Chuck-Less in a four- ahem... A FOUR-WAY TIE with each team at 32 points!

Round Six was back down to a paltry three-way tie with The Huskies missing two of the Novel Baddies on the Handout. (Team 5-1-0, Jose and the Hawks, and Chuck-Less all had PERFECT scores, but not one Double or Nothing. And that brings us to...

Round Seven ended with a two-way tie. TWO. OF. THEM. Jose and the Hawks and Team 5-1-0 each ended tie the quiz with 48 Points. And The Huskies and Chuck-Less were so, so close behind with 47 points. But it was both Team 5-1-0 and Chuck-Less having more faith in Barry John Crowe's ability to produce sausages quickly that won the tie breaking question (How many sausages did record-breaking butcher, Barry John Crowe, produce in a single minute?)

If I take only one thing away from this evening, it's this: Always trust your butcher. Always.
