QUIZ RECAP

Oh what a fun, thrilling finish we had to our weekly quiz at The Famous on Brand in Glendale! Two terrific teams - Good Luck, Everybody! and The Bad News Barristers - went neck-and-neck through the first five rounds, and were tied at 51 points going into Round Six!

But in the pressure packed sixth round, the momentum seemed to shift to the Barristers, when they executed the successful double while the Good Luck Gang also answered all questions correctly, but timidly opted not to double. The score stood at 71 Barristers / 61 Luckers as we entered the crucial seventh and final round.

And that where the worm turned, and Good Luck received some. Can you guess what happened next? Of course you can! The Lucky charms doubled successfully, for a final score of 81, while the Barristers registered a 9, to finish at 80, just one point behind!

Phew! That was exciting! See ya next week, friends.

QUIZ RECAP

TriviaSaurus Rex broke hard out of the gate this week at The Famous in Glendale, and held on to the lead from start to finish. In honor of this dominant performance, we offer a few fun facts about their namesake critter:

• Tyrannosaurus Rex Wasn't the Biggest Meat-Eating Dinosaur. At 40 feet from head to tail and seven to nine tons of body mass, you might think the Rex was the biggest carnivorous dinosaur that ever lived. But no, T. Rex was outclassed by not one, but two other dinosaurs - the South American Giganotosaurus, which weighed about nine tons, and the northern African Spinosaurus, which tipped the scales at 10 tons.
• The Arms of Tyrannosaurus Rex Weren't as Tiny as You Thought. Though they were certainly disproportionately tiny compared to the rest of its massive body, T. Rex's arms were well over three feet long.
• The Rex Had Very Bad Breath. It figures, right? I mean, those tiny arms made it impossible for the Rex to brush the shards of rotten, bacteria-infested meat that would constantly lodge in its numerous, closely packed teeth. And very few of them flossed.
• Female Tyrannosaurus Rex Were Bigger than the Males. I mean, come on. It figures, right?

You might reasonably ask: did any members of TriviaSaurus Rex have unusually short arms and notable bad breath? Come on over to The Famous next week and see for yourself! See ya then!

QUIZ RECAP

Our faith in humanity - so shaken in today's uncertain and often angry world - was renewed and restored last night by something as simple as a team name.

Among the quizinators at last night's quiz at The Famous on Brand in Glendale was a delightful group of folks we'd never met before. When they turned in their first answer sheet, we took note of their team name: Good Luck Everybody!

Think about that for a moment. I know I did. They chose as their name a simple, hopeful, uplifting message of encouragement to their competitors. We need more of that in the world, doncha think?

Yeah, much more of that, please. See ya next week.
