It's the Last Tuesday Trivia of the year here at Pineapple Hill Saloon, and the turnout was marked with frivolity and cheer (those are different things, right?). A few folks were able to successfully double in round 1, but one mis-identified colour of Kwanzaa dashed the hopes of a few more than a few. No one chanced a double down after that until round 5, the sting of early defeat bitter and cold as a winter night of somewhere that isn't beautiful and sunny So Cal.

Teams mostly middled in rounds 2 to 4, with Snoopy's varied resume throwing curveballs until the third or fourth clue. Round 5 was a bit tricky, but a few teams were able to discern the theme and Running with Caesars, the most regular of regulars, were able to nearly double their score with a successful double-down, although they were outpaced by long-time players Free-Smoke and Pineapple Croquemdouches, who would lead the pack to the end, followed by a triumphant Quiz Kid Donnie Smith in Third Place!

 

Happy Holidays and a Pleasant New Year, Pineapples. See you on the other side of the 31st!

The Holiday Season is in full swing, and what do we have in store? Oodles of Trivia Questions for hungry Quizzers, that's what. I mean, honestly, what were you excpecting? Cool Prizes? oh, well. That's reasonable, we have those, too.

Everyone did pretty well in the first two rounds with the only successful double-down coming from Raise Your Hand If You're Pretty! Round e kept the good times rolling with most teams scoring on every question and six double-down successes!

The good times rolled on through round 5, this time with seven doubles from confident teams. The confidence waned, rather prudently as in the final two rounds, most teams missed at least one, balancing our final point-totals to something rather closer to our average expectations.

The third night of Channukah and we're still doing trivia. It might not be the Rock of Ages, but it still rocked! 9 teams threw themselves into the fray, burning that midnight oil, but would it last for all?

5 Succesful double-downs kicked off the night, Glengary Glen Ross missed it in round one, learning the hard way that double-downs are for closers. Staying bold, Glengary Glen Ross lead the charge in Round 2, and were able to redeem themselves (and score a higher round total anyway). 4 teams were able to double again in round 3, but round 4 had EVERYONE stumped until the 6 point clue, when EVERYONE got it. That's right, no team was left behind guessing who. After realizing the theme of round 5, most teams found answering the questions to be easier than opening a can of soda, er... pop, or was it Orange Coke? Anyway, double-downs abound In round 6, only one team would be able to secure doubling those points: There's always next week triumphed with their fifth and final double of the night, pushing their score total in round 6, over any challenger's final score - With Bonus Points! at 96 points for the night, if it's not a Pineapple Hill Record, it's gotta be darn close!
