QUIZ RECAP

RIP 2017 (2017 - 2017)

What a long, cold year it's been.  What better way to celebrate the death of a crushing and cruel 365 days than with a trivia victory win?  Amirite?  Of course, only one of you will really be able to start off 2018 with a win. The rest of you will already be trying to catch up in this new year.  But hey, that's okay.  Here's some resolutions you can use to up your game this year:

1. Read a newspaper.  Pop culture, world politics, news, current events, weather patterns, the obscure name of the writers of obscure comic strips - it's all in there, pal!  That's round one fodder just waiting to be devoured.

2. Surf Wikipedia.  Look up your favorite actors and find out what their parents did for a living.  Literally, every 10 point clue in Round 4 mentions the odd job held by mom and dad.

3. Kick the idiot off your team.  By now, you've played enough games to know the strengths and weaknesses of each player on your team.  But there's always that one guy who shows up every week - that you're not even really clear on how you know him - and he contributes nothing.  Not only does he not get any answers right, but he always convinces you to double in the second round leading you to bomb out early with no hopes of recovery.  Trade him to another team, tell him the location of the game changed, or kill him.

4. Bribe a Quizmaster for the answers.  We're sworn to a strict code to never share any answers with you... that code stops at a few Ulysses S Grant's being palmed over.

5. Play Sporcle religiously.  And when I say religious - I mean it.  Bow down to its altar, play it night and day, prioritize logic puzzles over actual work.  Trivia matters - prove it.

Good luck!

Mini Van Mobbin' & The Tri-sex-itops started the game off with a bang, both successfully doubling in the 1st round. There was only one more successful double during the night, but boy oh boy, was it a biggie!

In round 7, Oliver & Company successfully named all the states containing Six Flags with a double, forcing a tie for 1st with The Tri-sex-itops.

Oliver & Company win the tiebreaker, answering another Six Flags related question. They steal the crown & become the champions of the night!

The Tri-sex-itops were unlucky tonight, but have nothing to be ashamed about as they have an impressive 2nd place finish.

Mini Van Mobbin' keeps a comfortable lead over the rest of competition throughout the game, finishing 3rd.

Special shoutout to the Alpha Chi frat boys who showed up tonight, got called out for cheating, joined another team, got caught cheating AGAIN using their Apple iWatches on the final round and for everyone who ceremoniously "boo"ed them out of Barney's.  'twas truly a Christmas miracle.  Keep your eyes out, Quizmasters and fellow Quizians, as those pesky kids who are home on break attempt to steal the game from you with their fancy technology - if you see something, say something.  Stay safe out there, Quizzards.
