Heretics Confess and Win

We had a pretty packed house this week at Pub Quiz.  We always love that, and it often brings about a close game with lots of teams in the running.  This week was like that, with a few lead changes, round ties, and a small controversy.  The Heretics professed the right answers early and often, and although they only won one round, they took the game.  However, they didn't win the jackpot, so it starts to roll.

Sometimes we get answers wrong. It's rare because we're so awesome.  but, if we do, don't feel bad challenging a question/answer. We'll check your sources, and our sources, and get back to you.  When we're wrong, we like to try and correct our errors, and provide you all with the best game possible. This week, we didn't accept an answer from two teams in round four.  Upon further review, their answers were correct (Warnog, the officially licensed Star Trek beer would also be an ale, which we originally didn't accept.)  Those two score changes didn't affect the overall game, but it did actually change the round 4 winner.  Originally, we thought the Cheap Beer Princesses won the round, but it turns out that Holy Shit!! Ocelots? won the round.  So, we've got some drink tokens for that team, and they can collect them next week.  Sorry for the error, and we'll keep working hard to not have these sort of issues.

Does Frank Underwood Gasm?

Strong starts don't always win pub quiz. Strong finishes don't either. Sometimes, the team that is consistent across the rounds wins.  This week, House of Gasms started strong. They lost round one on the song length tie breaker, then came up a little short in round two. But they stayed strong then won rounds three and four. When it came time for the jackpot drawing, their luck was strong, and they won it all.  Congrats on that! That means the jackpot starts fresh next Wednesday.

4 the Mare was randomly chosen for round two topics, and so here is what you should study for next week's round 2:
Original 150 Pokemon

Satan is a Winner

This week started off with a bang, as Stevenik, Scottnik, Corinenik, Nick, Nick & Kim scored 10s in each of the first two rounds. But Alana is Satan was right behind them. In the end, these two teams were tied at 35 points. Alana is Satan won the tie breaker to be the night's winner, but there didn't pull the jackpot chip. Next week, it'll be 1 in 3 odds.

On the night Arthur Chu lost on Jeopardy, a team named Arthur Chu was chosen for round 2 topics. In an interesting twist, it was their first time playing pub quiz with us. We love that random drawing element.  Anyway, here are the study topics they picked for next week's round 2:
Evolutionary Psychology
Statistics
Cold War
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
California's Gold with Huell Howser
House of Cards
Poker
Yosemite
Geo-politics
NFL
Reddit
Weightlifting
Sexual Fetishes
Breweries

Study up and we'll see you next Wednesday.


As a reminder, we will be switching Pub Quiz off the normal night onto Tuesday April 1st and 8th, and then back to Wednesdays.

First 4 Round Winner Ever!

We've been doing Pub Quiz for four years now, and we've never had a team win all four rounds. There have been teams that got close, teams we thought were going to do it, teams that missed on a tie breaker, but never any team to actually pull off that sweep.

On Wednesday, March 5th it happened.  Gasm! The Musical put it all together. They were a show stopper of sorts. They won all four rounds. They scored the highest score ever in a game done by Adam, Carrie & Ed (we've had a higher guest hosted game) at 37 points.  The only thing that would have made their night perfect would have been a jackpot victory, but their chip pulling was off key and so our jackpot begins to roll.

Our randomly chosen team for topics was Uffizi Gallery? I Studied the Uzi Gallery and they picked these topics for next week's round 2:
History of Biology
Duane Allman
The Periodic Table
Citric Acid Cycle
Attack on Titan (anime)
Episodes of Star Trek original series
The King of Queens (tv show)
Derek Trucks
Dickey Betts
Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs (Derek & the Dominoes Album)
The Grateful Dead
Films of Ray Harryhausen
The Allman Brothers Band at Fillmore East (album)
Javita Coffee

Put on your favorite album, brew a cup of coffee, snuggle up with your internet and see if you can become the next team to win all four rounds.  We'll see you next week at Pub Quiz!
