- PUB QUIZ—Tuesdays @ 8:00pm
Half the teams doubled in round 1, which made for a thrilling start. The scores tipped a little with no double attempts in 2, and a lack of confidence saw a dramatic decrease in the average in round 3.
Teams sure knew their Walking Dead biographical information and Rick Grimes led the way to a quick and plentiful round 4. Round 5 was surprisingly well pointed, but it was 6 that stunned the scorekeepers as nearly every team had a perfect answer rate - however, less of them attempted doubles and some pulled far and away. The final round was rife with double-attempts but not all were fated to land, and the night was won by There's Always Next Week with an astounding 92 points!

Disparate beginnings this Tuesday, as two teams successfully doubled, yet the rest came in rather low on the point scale. None to worry, the first round is more of a warm up, anyway!
Round 2 was a little more forgiving as teams pigged out with their favourite characters. The third round might as well have been a wash, with not one, not two, not even three, but six teams successfully doubling-down!
The next round had a rather average feel about it, with a nice bell curve forming in anticipation of round 5's connection search. Few teams were able to make the leap, and only "There's Always Next week" were able to secure the double, shooting them into contention.
Round 6- and perhaps some divine intervention- boosted everyone's confidence just enough to raise hopes for round 7 which dashed them harshly to the ground with an unexpected spike in difficulty. This week's Champions, continuing their trend, hailed their competition from the top of the podium.

Hieroglyphic allusions sent the teams on the right track for rappers, but they had to make it the rest of the way, and Nelly stumped most. In round three it was all about silence and the quizmaster was astounded by teams' knowledge of Kenny Rogers' discography. Round 4 kept teams young, but most could have used a little fairy dust to help fly to the answer a bit earlier. Round 5 had heads scratching, but a few teams were able to divine the connection. Round 6 was an interesting upset with almost every team missing the same answers, with a mode of 7 for the round. Speaking of sevens and rounds, teams were able to Lego of their reservations and throw every nerdy reference they could think of down, but each team missed at least three franchises, leaving no perfect scores for round 7.
Regardless of the final performance, the competition was stiff and the winners scored pretty high, keeping a commanding presence at the top of the board.
