QUIZ RECAP

What could be better than the daily free social media question provided by King Trivia? A second freebie when your ding-dong of a quizmaster accidentally reads an answer as part of a question. You're welcome.

Fire Rob Manfred certainly didn't need the assistance of me reading "Puyi was the last person to hold what title in China?" as "Puyi was the last emperor of China. Um. Oops." They successfully doubled in the first three rounds and never looked back.

Fuck, I Don't Know used a strong Round 5 (which I mistakenly announced as Round 7) to pull away from the competition on the way to a second place finish.

Painted Taints were the only team to score 10 points in the Guess Who? round. No other team scored better than 4 points. And I'm sure they weren't distracted when I dropped my Round 6 handouts on the floor.

I hope you'll all join us next Monday for another fun evening of King Trivia when maybe I'll inadvertently eat the microphone.

Tonight was the first King Trivia at Rocco's Tavern of 2020 with spring training baseball on the televisions, so it was fitting that our winners were Fire Rob Manfred.

There were absolutely no baseball questions in the quiz, but The Painted Taints' familiarity with California's population centers helped them into second place.

XM/CG came in third even thought they didn't join the game until the second inning. Round. I meant round. I am totally focused on trivia questions and pitching them to the players.

Go Cubs!

QUIZ RECAP

Today brought us an active NHL trade deadline but no one at Rocco's Tavern was willing to trade away their beloved Monday night King Trivia.

Round 3 took us on a trip to Argentina where Harvey's Going to Jail...About Time began collecting the points that, once they cleared customs, assured them the victory. The Painted Taints and Flat Earth Globetrotters both successfully used the Double Down in Round 6 to keep things interesting.

And a big shout out to All Star Shrek who used my wife's Instagram username as an answer in Round 2. I am not at all weirded out by this but I have grown a mustache and my new identity is Schaumburg, Illinois-based produce inspector Patrick O'Leary.
