QUIZ RECAP

My name is Walker and I am (or because you're reading this now, I was) your Quizmaster with glasses this week, filling in for Brendan. It was a full house at the Federal and what a game it was. There was everything, joy, sorrow, and even drawings of dogs!

While a few teams early on took a lead, the game stayed very close for most of the night!

A special shout out to Drawing of a Dog, a team whose name was literally a drawing of a dog! They even drew Nixon's dog Checkers, who was the answer to a round 5 question!

This team won the drinking round by getting closest in guessing the number of Jeopardy! episodes Alex Trebek has hosted. The Answer, or should I say the question is Who are Rickety Crickets! Congrats on the free booze!

The final round of the evening involved naming 10 of the 13 most successful Drake singles. Most teams started at the bottom and stayed there as they struggled to name the singer's hits, but a few teams made that hotline bling (I'm so sorry, I don't know any other Drake songs either) and were able to name most of the songs!

Tonight's game ended with a tie between Smart Phonies and Trivial Pursuers for first place. Trivial Pursuers got closer in guessing the population of Austin and won the night!
