Slow; Kids at Play shows their quickness

The last Pub Quiz of 2012 was a good one.  Slow; Kids at Play finished at 30.5 point and held off a late challenge from The Hardest Part (of Pub Quiz) who won rounds 3 and 4.  However, Slow; Kids at Play didn't pull the winning chip, so next week it's 1 in 3 odds.

Here are the topics chosen by The Hardest Part (of Pub Quiz):
X Men Comics
Sci-fi tv shows of the 90's
Rhianna (singer)
Rent (the Musical)
Types of Birth Control
Zombies
Project Runway
Reddit
Salvadoran Food
Hayao Miyazaki
Marxist theory
Freud
Quentin Tarantino Movies
Internet Memes

So there you have it.  Study up, and we'll see you in 2013!
