QUIZ RECAP

'Twas the night before Thanksgiving and all through the College Bar and Grill, barely a creature was stirring, not even on Mill; the beers still did flow, all in hopes King Trivia would still be a go.

The few patrons were sitting, all drinking their liquid bread, with visions of turkeys dancing in their heads; I with my questions and the bartender with his hat, pondered a fun night of Trivia during our chat. When next to the bar, "We are ready to play King Trivia" arose in a clatter, I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter.

Away I went to start the great game, with three one-person teams vying for fame. The Thanksgiving-themed questions flew through the air, with the teams trying to answer, but had hardly a prayer.

Now food!, now music, now history and all! On football, on tradition, on family and the mall. To the first question to the very last, answer away! answer away to them all.

And then in a twinkling, I finished them up, with Forbes on top with 40 in his cup. Eddie came in two, but he said he was not through (with his beer).

As I packed my stuff up, no one spoke a word. I continued to tidy, thinking about the fun that had just occurred. As I sprang to my feet to head to my car, I heard someone yell from inside the bar.

WE LOVE KING TRIVIA FOR ALL, AND FOR ALL A HAPPY THANKSGIVING

QUIZ RECAP

At College Bar & Grill 3 teams gathered to battle for their right to be the King of Trivia! This week we had Ballz, Pitter Patter, and Boys Who Cry competing.

In our General Knowledge Round 1 Boys Who Cry were able to get all of the answers correct while Pitter Patter missed just one. After adding points for registered teams Boys Who Cry were in the lead with points with Pitter Patter tailing behind with 7 points, and Ballz in third with 5 points!

Our Picture Round number 2 asked the teams to identify the last names of the real and fictional Olivias shown in the images. Pitter Patter was able to get 6 of the 8 correct while our other teams only got 3 or 4 of them correct.

Round 3 was all about "half". Ballz missed 1 question regarding team positions in rugby while Boys Who Cry and Pitter Patter got all 6 correct. At this point in the game Pitter Patter was in first place with a total of 19 points with Boys Who Cry just behind them with 18 points. Ballz were in third with 13 points now.

The theme for Round 4 this week was Guess Where. Boys Who Cry got eager for the 10 points and placed their answer in as The Alamo, unfortunately this was incorrect and cost them a point. Ballz was confident in their answer of Ford Theatre after our second clue, however this was also incorrect and cost their team a point as well. After our third clue which stated that Scooter and National Treasure had key scenes that occurred in this place Pitter Patter was able to correctly guess our mystery location as Independence Hall earning their team an additional 6 points!

In Round 5 our teams were asked to find the connecting factor in all of the answers for the first 9 questions in order to answer question 10. Boys Who Cry and Pitter Patter were able to identify the commonality as being card games, while Ballz were close in their answer of gambling, it was unfortunately not correct. By now Pitter Patter was in a solid lead with 35 points, Boys Who Cry in second with 25 points, and Ballz in third with 17 points.

Round 6 got rather saucy as our teams had to match each sauce to the country in which it originated. Boys Who Cry did the best this round earning 8 extra points for their team, bringing them just 3 points away from Pitter Patter.

Our final round asked the teams to name 10 of the most densely populated U.S. states as of August 2019. Ballz chose to play their Double or Nothing in this round and after missing 3 of the answers did not earn any extra points for this round. Pitter Patter got 5 of the 10 correct. Boys Who Cry only missed one of the answers giving their team 9 total points!

After including points for teams who returned their pens, in a last minute twist of events Boys Who Cry stole first place with a total of 44 points! Pitter Patter fell to second with 41 points. And Ballz maintained their solid hold of third place finishing the game with 24 points.

Congrats to all our teams last night! Join us again next Wednesday evening for trivia and karaoke at College Bar & Grill!
