Tonight at The Block - "Oween Eedaname" and "Participation Trophy" battled head to head for the King Trivia crown!

Oween Eedaname took an early headstart answering all six of the questions correctly earning 12 points on the board through Double or Nothing! Participation Trophy was not too far behind with five out of the six points earned. Oween Eedaname kept a steady lead until Round 4, when Participation Trophy was able to gain speed by earning 10 points in the "Guess Who?" round, thanks to their mastery of knowing way too much about Jimi Hendrix's personal life. Oween Eedaname seemed to be in a "Purple Haze" and were only able to earn 4 points on that round, placing them in a 2 point lead.

Neck-in-neck, the two teams tested who was the most fluent in Latin in Round 6. Participation Trophy proved that Latin isn't dead, it's just Roman around when they successfully answered all 10 questions correctly and earned 20 points! This gave them a 10 point lead over Oween Edaname who correctly answered 9 out of 10 questions.

During the final round, the two teams were asked to name the top 10 Late Night Talk Show hosts of 2010... you know, back when people actually watched TV. Both teams were able to list 9 out of the 10 hosts correctly, but thanks to their 10 point lead, Participation Trophy was able to secure another win for the books!

Thanks to all who joined us for a night of great food, laughs, and fun!

Hopefully we can add some more teams to the mix next week! So, if you're in or around UW - come join us at 7 PM each and every Wednesday!
