QUIZ RECAP

Foul weather brought out a small group of determined quizzers this fine Tuesday evening. When a number of teams arrived to find their members absent, several decided to form super groups rather than go it alone against the veterans. This led to a few powerful combinations of new and old players, each bringing their skills to bear for this epic throw down.

What made the quiz even better was the presence of another QM in training: Edward. This bespectacled tall drink of water used his experience running a movie theater to win over the crowd. By Round 3, they were chanting his name and raising banners in his honor.

But of course the night wasn't about a coronation. It was about a bit of trivia. Seven rounds of trivia to be precise. After just a few, it was clear that the super groups had an advantage. They knew when to double and when to play safe. They covered each other, deploying expert knowledge at a moment's notice.

As always, the Double Down proved the defining line between winners and losers (#therearenolosersinkingtrivia). When Random Awesome Strangers doubled up during the penultimate round, they cleared the path to victory. That's what made the epic rise of A-Z so special. They'd lagged behind for most of the night, but a brave couple of doubles put them in striking distance of first place.

In the end, no one knew much about a Heptathalon. The few that managed to guess well separated from the pack and took their place on the coveted stage.

Special props go to Team Ash, who arrived with no prior knowledge of King Trivia or the general rules of the game. They played hard and earned a free tray of Potato Pancakes, which we can only assume awoke an appetite that can only be sated by more trivia.

Come on down to Rasselbock every Tuesday night for King Trivia!
