QUIZ RECAP

Came back from skydiving in one, not-flat, exhilarated piece, and was happy to spend a quiet night in the back room with some of my favorite trivia fans (despite the bar being super packed!).

Knock on Wood held a brief, yet glorious one-point lead for the first round, but ultimately wound up in third place by game's end. They didn't double down on Round 6, because it would just be so unfair to everyone else who didn't know their fictional mice. Their humility potentially cost them the second place title (maybe even first), but at least they still got to go home with second place winnings!

The Home Team, second place only by score, risked relinquishing his nerd crown, as he was ONLY 99% sure about Professor X by the first clue in our Guess Who? round and 100% sure by the second clue. He was still the first one to guess correctly and reward himself with a free appetizer for it, but it's the principle of the matter. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME.

Thirsty Pretzels dominated yet again, this time without any double-downs, but still sweeping the Philadelphia connection and Heisman winner rounds like it was no big deal. Glory to you guys -- your $40 winnings in Recess Room currency was much deserved!
