The first and second rounds were a cakewalk for most teams. The only few who didn't score big had a misplaced answer on a double-down or didn't double down at all, but no one missed more than one question in either round. Round 3 was a high score as well, and teams astounded with their knowledge of the more vague portions of Sarah Silverman's Biography.
