QUIZ RECAP

Every time we do a number based game, someone always asks me "Is it Price Is Right Rules?" I typically don't like to make things even harder on folks, but tonight's bonus round was begging for an added level of difficulty. The challenge was to guess how many pens were inside the quizmaster's backpack. Closest to the correct answer without going over wins! It was a riveting time as I slowly pulled 21 pens from the backpack and awarded the Diggle Bicks (who guessed 18) with the beer as well as the first place victory in the quiz!

For some reason, you will rarely see a tie at Grunions. That means most tiebreakers come and go without ever being read aloud. For tonight's drinking round, our teams had enough and demanded we play the tiebreaker to decide who wins the beer.

The only problem with this plan was that there were TWO teams who correctly guessed that to be considered desert, an area must receive less than TEN inches of rain per year, so we needed a tiebreaker for the tiebreaker. It was like a snake eating its tail, but eventually, our resident Jewish team squeaked out the prize.

What an exciting night of trivia! So excited I accidentally dropped my phone and cracked the screen. I would be sad about this, but a true quizmaster knows any unfortunate even can be transformed into a challenge for our bonus round! Dropping a phone because I was careless/drunk is a common story, so I challenged teams to come up with a better story I could tell people when they asked me how I cracked my screen. Congrats to the Diggle Bicks who won themselves some free beer when they came up with my new story: I was eating taco bell, stuck my phone in my back pocket, and the power from my explosive taco bell farts was just too much for the screen to take.

A simple, yet believable story!
