QUIZ RECAP

We had a lot of new teams come out to Longship Brewery tonight to give King Trivia a try. We even had a team who normally plays in LA, stop by on a work trip. It was exciting to see new faces, have a lot of fun, and drink some excellent beer.

Some of the regulars were on hand to show the newbies how it's done. Chuck's the Best, Indifferent Penguins, and Shake N' Bake got things off to a strong start, forcing their fellow competitors to be bold with their answers. Several teams dared to use the Double or Nothing early and often. Some to glory, some to ruin.

There were two distinct battles - for top honors and third place. The third place battle saw Shake N' Bake firmly in control until round four, when The More We Drink, The Less We Know Things named the celebrity on the six point answer. This allowed Tyrion Lannister's name sake to claim the third place spot and keep hold throughout the rest of the match.

Indifferent Penguins for the second week in a row tied their top competitor, Chuck's The Best, at the end of round seven, forcing yet another tie breaker. This time, Chuck's squad got the closest to the target number without going over, and claimed not only the win, but the special prize this week: A Longship Brewery Drinking Horn.

We also had a special aviation class this week for the drink round. This week we learned that not all trivia is simple recollection of facts, but also the application of knowledge. Each team was provided with a half piece of paper, and tasked with making the most aerodynamic paper airplane possible. The teams then presented their most capable pilot to send their aircraft into the atmosphere, with the plane going for the longest trip, winning the free beer. Rookie sensations, Popcorn Shrimp landed their vessel safely, and then proceeded to consume the complimentary brew.

Congratz to one and all, and we hope to see even more new faces at Longship Brewery next Tuesday at 6PM.
