It was a Scoregasmic week

We started the new year off with a bang. 134 of you showed up to play on 25 teams. At the end of round 3 three it looked as if Grey Matters had a lock on their first win, but Multiple Scoregasms won round four and secured an overall win at the buzzer (as it were). They didn't draw the blue chip but you'll have to study their topics for next week's round 2 if you want the edge.

1. Exeter, CA
2. Doctor Who (TV Show)
3. Constitutional Law
4. Perez Hilton
5. U.S. Revolutionary War
6. John Dickson Carr/Carter Dickson
7. Peter Gabriel (Solo and Genesis work)
8. Applied Behavioral Analysis
9. Agatha Christie
10. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
11. Dexter (TV Show)
12. Brian Clough
13. Jimi Hendrix
14. Adam Carolla

Study hard.

In other news, next week marks Fresno Pub Quiz's one year anniversary (give or take a day). We'll be talking to the Landmark to see if we can work out anything special in terms of food and/or drink and it looks as though we'll be trying to put together a special round 3 which will include five (you read that right, five!) bonus points. The way it will work is we'll be asking questions about historical dates (tie-in to our historical date *wink, wink*). If you can remember the year, you'll get a point. If you can remember the month and day, you'll get a half point bonus. An example:

Q: Remember when the airline attacks on the World Trade Center took place?
A: September 11, 2001

If you put 2001, that's one point. If you get it all correct, you'll get 1.5 total points for that question. Don't let the example lull you into a false sense of security. This will be round three and they won't all be so easy to remember.

We'll see you next week!
