QUIZ RECAP

A nice place tucked away in San Dimas! Unfortunately, I didn't run into Bill and Ted...

QUIZ RECAP

A very close game on the last day of May! Huah aka General Knowledge doubled down successfully in the Visual round, displaying an impressive knowledge of who played famous singers in movies, leaping into a substantial lead! (which nudged me to play some Elton John and some Ray Charles during the breaks, so thanks for that)

However they were ambushed by the Who is it Round and, with a successful guess of Whoopi aka Gainan at 10 points, That's a Stupid Name took over. But they in turn lost the lead with an unsuccessful double down in the connections round (and Woody Allen was to blame, decreasing his popularity even further within the group), so going into Round 6 it was anyone's game with 5 points separating all the teams. Very exciting stuff!

Beerly Legal lived up to their name, knowing all 10 TV lawyers and successfully doubling down, but so did That's a Stupid Name, to remain 2 points behind.

The fate of the game rested on Ice Cream flavors, and Beerly Legal managed to hold on by one point. No one got the somewhat controversial Moose Tracks flavor and it could be argued (and indeed it was!) that Neopolitan is not a flavor but 3 flavors, so the "quizmistress is always right" rule came in handy!

Thank you to all teams for a fun evening, and the Twisted Sage for the excellent food and beverages including the Free Pitcher for the Irish Geography beer round (also won, but generously shared, by Beerly Legal).

I apologize for the lack of pictures - rookie error!

QUIZ RECAP

Great start to the Memorial Day Weekend! As one team renamed itself for the event - "Not Stuck on the 210 Freeway" seemed very appropriate. King Trivia provided a good variety of questions (including some sneaky ones) and a challenging Find the Connection round aka Crocodile NOT Alligator.

The venue provided their usual excellent food and beverage selection, including a free pitcher of beer or cider for the winner of the beer round (Horsethieves). The quizmistress continues to pursue her lonely campaign to aquaint people with the quaint place names in Ireland and really appreciated everyone's participation!

The Librarians aka 8-0-8 jumped into an early lead in rounds 2 and 3 with successful double downs but then scored -1 in the The Who Am I round (which caught a LOT of teams out) aka Danny DeVito NOT Jack Nicholson.

Several teams nearly caught up in the later rounds, showing impressive knowledge of celebrity criminality (EVERYONE got Hugh Grant correct which gladdens my British heart) and the characters in the Village People.

But the Librarians aka 808 prevailed, and the game ended with the tiebreaker which Horsethieves just edged out Island of Gilligan by successfully coming closer in their guess of the world record # of flapjacks made in one day (12,716)
