QUIZ RECAP

It was the last game of trivia before Thanksgiving and 6 teams made up of both old friends and new gathered together at Tubby Hook Tavern to express gratitude for many things: good beer, working heat, Double or Nothings, and tiebreakers.

Two-thirds of last week's tiebreaker finale, Sharper Than Peas and Trial by combat, got off to slow starts, seemingly making room for newcomers Isaac and Dave Michaela Franco to usurp their thrones. The race was wide open early thanks to some stumbles identifying the fictional royalty in Round 2 (Cinderella's Queen Ravenna is neither the "Ice Queen" nor "Snow Queen") and a divide in the generational knowledge identifying Demi Lovato in Round 4. But after two teams scored Double or Nothings in a pivotal Round 6, we found ourselves again facing a tiebreaker with things seemingly wrapped up at the conclusion of Round 7.

36,201 feet was the answer we were looking for in the depth in feet of the Mariana Trench and with a guess only 3799 feet off the mark, Sharper Than Peas emerged victorious once again with newcomers (and favorite team name) I was safer with the mountain lions settling for 2nd. Tria/ by combat again found themselves again walking away with 3rd place, but considering they did the same thing last week with half as many team members, perhaps they'll enter the long holiday weekend rethinking their game plan.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone from our team at King Trivia! Stay safe, stay warm, stay thankful and we'll see you next week!
