QUIZ RECAP

A very fun night on what could possibly be the final night of trivia at Slater's 50/50! We had a handful of our usual teams as well as some newcomers, who livened up the game with their unique answers.

Round 2 saw the first of these, when almost no one knew Theon Greyjoy's real name (it's Alfie Allen) so someone threw out the very close "Guy Greyjoy". Kevin Kline saw such creative guesses as "Some Old White Guy", "Jack James", and "Wild Wild West Man". Good to know I can always come to you all for a stage name in the future!

Don't cry for me, Argentina, but none of the teams were very familiar with Eva Peron, so this was an especially low-scoring Round 4 followed by a challenging Round 5 for our teams, with one putting the theme as "Being very hard to answer".

But after some "solid, educated guesses" and a Double or Nothing with every five- or fewer-lettered element on the Periodic Table, the Bombay Ducks squeaked out a win over the Baby Cheeses, who had been winning all night until the very end. Third place went to Butch after figuring out a good number of elements as well, who squeaked out a win of their own over 1401 Flight Crew, returning from the Disneyland-themed event last month.

Thank you all for a great final night! Maybe I'll be back again to sling some trivia at Slater's. But if not, keep playing hard and as I always say...see you next time!
