QUIZ RECAP

We've noticed a happy trend underway at some King Trivia venues, where many of our younger players are being joined by parents and even grandparents - which is terrific! We've always believed that our weekly quiz is both a team sport and a multi-generational affair. Indeed, the most successful teams incorporate talent of all ages!

And so it was at Timmy Nolan's in Toluca Lake this week. A big shout-out to this week's winners: Sister Act Goes To Camp, who came from behind with a perfectly executed double in the final round to win by five points over Fortress of Chocklitude!

Did I say "perfectly executed"!? You bet I did! Get this: not only did the Sisters correctly identify the titles of the ten most recent James Bond films, but they provided that list in perfect sequence, from most recent on back in time. They certainly had a license to thrill last night. They left their competition shaken, and stirred!

And that outcome illustrated one of the fundamental truths about our quiz: Some nights, it's all about the double-or-nothing strategy. Here's the thing: Fortress of Chocklitude (official name Carpe Trivium and currently ranked #56 in our ongoing tournament) pulled off an amazing and impressive feat last night. They answered every question correctly! That's right! EVERY question! But they opted not to double on four of their rounds, thus leaving themselves vulnerable to those dastardly Sisters!

And with The Fighting Cottage Crazies just a few points behind in third, it was a night of raucous action and stiff competition! The prime ingredients for a great session of King Trivia, and the kind of action even James Bond himself would enjoy!

See y'all next week.
