Baby, it's cold outside and while 2 bold folks opted for outdoor dining despite the fact that the heaters hadn't even been set up yet, 5 teams made sure that things heated up sufficiently inside with a historical trivia game at Tubby Hook Tavern!

Rounds 1 through 4 were your standard hotly contested bar trivia rounds, with close scores, near misses, and a surprisingly high amount of points awarded early in "Guess Who?" (who knew that people knew so much about Sting?). After a 3-way tie for 1st formed upon the completion of Round 5, we all figured it was only going to take another round until a frontrunner emerged. 

But the 3-way tie remained in tact after Round 6 and,with all teams vying for 1st doubling down and missing on Round 7 (Marvin the Martian was a referee, not a teammate in Space Jam), Tubby Hook saw its first ever tiebreaker with everyone knowing which teams would win prizes, but the question of which prize still hanging heavy in the air.

In the end, Sharper Than Peas who were the closest in guessing how many Oscars had been awarded in totality since the first ceremony in 1929 - 3160! - bringing this unprecedented game to a thrilling conclusion.
