QUIZ RECAP

It was another awesome week of King Trivia at the Lumber Yard and weekly regulars, the Flag Hags, started off the night with a bang! Not only did they know all of the right answers in Round 1, but they went Double-or-Nothing to snag 12 points!

Rounds 2 and 3 found all of our teams pretty evenly matched. Teams had almost no problems identifying "popular" video games by their logo (it helps to live in the birth place of most video game franchises) and clearly everyone has spent time in the Big Apple.

It was Round 4, as always, that turned the tables for returning champs, Lime Skittles. After the 8 point clues, they knew I was describing Mr. Hamilton himself - Lin Manuel Miranda and took the lead! While Penetrative Friends and Flag Hags couldn't find the answer and each lost a point.

Round 5 proved knowing the common theme isn't always helpful in getting all of the answers correct. Lime Skittles knew all of the answers could be combined with "blood," i.e. Blood Orange or Blood Pressure, but this caused them to guess incorrectly for a few of the questions and they only scored 5 points. Flag Hags, however, couldn't nail the common theme, but still managed to take 8 points.

In our matching round, Round 6, it was clear all of our teams were familiar with popular diets. All three teams not only got all of the answers right, but they all went Double-or-Nothing and each scored 20 points!

Heading into the final round, Flag Hags reclaimed the lead with 52 points. Lime Skittles were right behind with 50 points. And Penetrative Friends were still in reach of the top spot with 45.

Our final round, however, was a bit harder. Teams needed to identify the 10 youngest US presidents (at the time of their inauguration). And, given that most of these men were in office prior to 1900 - only one team, Lime Skittles, was able to correctly identify 5 of the possible 10, while our other two teams named just 3 (Flag Hags) and 4 (Penetrative Friends).

That two point difference in Round 7 meant Lime Skittles and Flag Hags were in a 55-55 point lock for first place and we needed a tie-breaker to decide the game!

Playing "Price is Right" rules, the two teams had to guess the closest number without going over to answer, "How many songs are featured in the first season of My Crazy Ex Girlfriend."

In the end, Flag Hags dethroned Lime Skittles and took first place! Penetrative Friends finished in 3rd on the scoreboard - but 1st for creative answers and sassy commentary.

A big thanks as always to the Lumber Yard and Patrick and Nikki for keeping the teams "hydrated" throughout the game! We'll see everyone again next week - same time, same place
