QUIZ RECAP

The crowd poured in at about 8:50 and the atmosphere was buzzing! We had 165 players tonight - a new record! In Round 1, we learned that TikTok promises to Make Our Day. In Round 2, there was an audible groan when many teams realized they'd missed Mary Tyler Moore. In Round 3, teams tried to find Whoopi Goldberg's Oscar movie by naming a lot of different Whoopi movies... and tv shows... and even things she wasn't in... And then we all sang Happy Birthday to India on Slugbotics! In Round 4, a lot of us learned MLK's Star Trek connection, and shout-out to the 3 teams that got it at the 10 point level: Will Teach 4 Pizza, Tater Tots, and Still Flaccid Thanks For Asking. The latter two teams had perfect scores every round so far! Round 5 took us out to the old ball game, with quite a few teams finding the connection, and team Still Flaccid left (we assume to get that looked at..), leaving just Tater Tots for other teams (especially Bricked Up) to try and catch. In Round 6, we had my favorite wrong answer this far: Cool Hair Luke. (Sounds like an epic drama!) Tater Tots didn't Double-or-Nothing that round, leaving them just 2 points ahead of a very excited Bricked Up on a Thursday. And then it all came down to a Zodiac thriller. In the end, Tater Tots remained 2 points ahead of Bricked Up, and 3rd place had a Tie Breaker, giving the win to A Shout-out To Our Sponsors This Evening: "Ligma". Though they weren't actually part of the tie breaker, E Plurbus Anus was actually the closest guess, only off by 10! Tater Tots set a new record high with 99 points, and are proving to be a fierce competitor... Though they did also have about half the patio on their team. We had a lot of great options for Best Team Name, some of which left early and missed their shot at the prize. We ended up with a fun sluggy team, Slugbotics, claiming the title. Join us next week, when the battle for the top spot continues with teams old and new!
