Wow!!!! King Trivia at Pickwick's Pub on Wednesday nights has been hot hot hot the last few weeks! Last night we had over 60 players packing in to both rooms of the bar ready to show off their knowledge of pop culture, history, sports, fictional fox characters, etc.

For the drinking round, teams had to send up a representative to play a beer pong like game. A red solo cup with water in it was placed on one table, and players had 6 ping pong balls that they had to bounce off a different table spaced a few feet away from the other. Whoever got the most out of the 6 ping pong balls in the cup, would win the round of shots for their team. At first, there was a 3 way tie with 3 teams scoring one ping pong ball, but the 6th team to go, Baharmo & Nalonso vs. the World, successfully bounced in 2 balls and that would be enough to win the round of shots! Way to go ladies!!!

For third place, two teams ended up with 58 points after the final round and they had to compete in a tie breaker question: "To the nearest minute, what is the official run time of the movie 'Boyhood'?" Our winners of the drinking round (Baharmo and Nalonso vs. the World), and team Oak Deck & the Patio Set... It Just Got Bigger, had very close guesses. B and N vs. the World guessed 147 minutes, and OD&the PS...IJGB guessed 140 minutes. The correct answer was 165 minutes. So Baharmo and Nalonso vs. the World not only won the drinking round, but got the third place prize as well! Amazing job! A successful double or nothing in round number 6 set them up for the tie! Nice try Oak Deck and The Patio Set! Hope to see your big group again next week!

Coming in second place was our regular juggernaut smarties the Mighty Mighty Puffins, who scored an impressive and awesome score of 69! You might not have won 1st place, but with that score, I count it as a win!

And finally in 1st place, another of our dominant regular teams, Alternative Facts, who successfully doubled down on rounds 3, 5, and 7, rocketed to 81 points and took home the 1st place gift certificate! Wowzers team! Way to go!

And that concludes this week's recap of Wednesday night's King Trivia at Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills! See you next week at the same King time, same King channel!
