QUIZ RECAP

“Hide not your Talents, they for use were made. What’s a Sun-Dial in the shade!” -- Benjamin Franklin 

Well there were certainly no shady sundials this week at the Brewyard Beer House in Burbank, and ol' Ben would have been rightly impressed by the performances of our top teams. Let's begin with a robust round of kudos for Bishop Sycamore Alumni, who harnessed the formidable power of several well executed double-or-nothing gambits to build an insurmountable lead and win the night! "Woot! I say," quoting Franklin yet again! "And furthermore, I'll add a second Woot!!"

That Ben Franklin! He's outta control!

Did we describe the Alumni's lead as "insurmountable?" Well I suppose that's true. But just barely. BIG MOUTH BILLY BASS very nearly caught 'em in the end, finishing just two slim points behind to take second. And then there's the Perfect Strangers, who finished just one slim single point shy of the Big Mouths to take third. 

But WAIT! There's MORE!! Princess Amy's Flying Monkeys (they're  gonna get YOU and your little dog, too!) finished in fourth place  when they failed to find that elusive single point that would have put them in a tiebreaker with the Strangers. Perhaps if the bewitching Amy had contributed more. But no, she was too busy pondering her sister's red shoes!

Yup, you read that right. Our top four teams finished a total of just five points apart! Now THAT is some upper level trivia competition right there!! Or, as our friend Ben memorable said: "He who cometh to engage in trivia battle at the Brewyard hath besteth bringeth their 'A' game!"

(It's all right there in Poor RIchard's Almanac. You could look it up!)
