QUIZ RECAP

The day after Christmas - The presents are open, the leftovers are in the fridge, and the family is still visiting. Eight teams sough a brief refuge from the time spent with visiting relatives. Well...at least that's what some of them told me. I'm sure some teams just wanted some amazing Longship Brewery Beer. And I'm sure a few wanted to just play trivia. And I'm fairly confident that a certain team wanted to show off their new team uniforms...

It was a well spirited battle with the following teams taking the top three spots:

1st: Indifferent Penguins
2nd: The Moops
3rd: Cyber Chemists

Though the answer of the night came from the returning team R.I.M. One of the many joys of being a Quiz Master, is to see the clever answers that teams jot down if they are unsure of the real answer. In this case, we had our round three "Tar Nation," where this week, each question or answer would include the word "Tar."

The question: What eight-legged microscopic animal is also called a "Water Bear?"

R.I.M's answer: Wa"tar" Bear.

For our Beer Round, we wanted to incorporate 2017, since it was the last show of the year. So we brought out the math experts and asked: How many straight cuts on a circular pizza, going through two points on the circumference, would you need to make in order to have 2017 pieces of pizza?

The answer, as explained by an actual engineer on Team Coco, was 36 cuts. The closest answer of 54.01, was offered up by the Unicorn Tippers, and they collected the beer.

It was a fun time with our trivia family during this festive time of year. We are actually off next week on 1/2/18, but we'll be back the week after. We wish everyone a prosperous New Year!
