4th Time Was a Charm

We see that you're gunning after the kings, but you're just missing.  Although they had different names each time, the same team has won the last 4 games in a row, and they finally managed to pull that jackpot chip. Congrats to Uzi: So Simple a 9 Year Old Can Use It for winning the game and taking home the big ca$h.

Alana, Not So Bad After All was our randomly chosen team for next week's round 2, and here's what they chose:
Denver Broncos
Space 1999 (tv show)
Americas Cup Sailing
Prehistoric History
Janis Joplin
Gilmore Girls
Emergency (70's tv show)
Kenny Chesney
Ray Donovan
Dixie Chicks
Cabernet Franc
St. Louis Rams
Harry Potter
Depeche Mode

So there you have it. Study up for next week as we start a new jackpot.

It's a Shiver and a Shake

UPDATE: A little heads up: the songs this week are all hip hop songs, from movies that were released from 1994 - 2000

Some teams lead from the start. Others grab the lead mid game and don't let go. Some teams just hang around and then win it in the end. Any strategy can work, but to win Pub Quiz you've got to get the right mix of team and pull it all together.  This week, I Challenge Lou Gherig to take the Ice Water Challenge stayed just off the lead and then took round 4 and the game. This is the third week in a row that this team won the game. But, for the third week in a row, they failed to pull the jackpot chip. So next week, it will be 50/50 odds on the jackpot!

Fresnocity was chosen for Round 2 topics, and here's what you need to study:
Cards Against Humanity (the game)
Disneyland attractions
Batman (60's tv show)
What's Happening (tv show)
Lots Lenski books including agriculture
The Monkey's Headquarters album songs
The Beatles second album songs

Study up, and we'll see you next week at Pub Quiz!

Play the Instrument

They had a different name, but they were still dominant. If Peeing Your Pants is Cool, Consider Me Miles Davis was hot for the first 3 rounds, and even though they cooled off a little in round 4, they still ended up with a 3.5 point victory. That takes skill & study. But, their chip pulling skills are as random as yours, and so they were unable to grab the blue chip. Next week will be 1 in 3.

Princess Plant & the Bed of Arugula won round 4 and was randomly chosen for next week's round 2 topics. Here's what they want you all to study:
US Presidents
Music Theory

Watch some tv, hit the internet, get your study on and we'll see you next Wednesday at Pub Quiz.

Apparently Diseases are Jokeworthy

Adam & Ed were back at the hosting table this week, and you all were back and on fire. Seriously, the scores for the first few rounds were pretty impressive.

One final note: we want to take a moment to encourage you all to be patient during Pub Quiz. Pub Quiz brings in a large group of people to the Landmark, all ordering food & drinks at pretty much the same time. If your order takes a minute to come out, know that they are working hard to get it to you as quickly as possible. We'd like to encourage all our patrons to be decent human beings and treat the staff like you would want to be treated.

Guest Host not a Ghost Host

This week at Pub Quiz we let someone else challenge your knowledge.  We does this about 4 times a year to give ourselves a break and to let someone else twist your brain in different ways.  The team that has frequently been a Spoiler Alert was behind the head table, and they did their best to make you think and rethink your answers. We Survived San Diego Gasm-con showed that they were true believers and true survivors as they won 3 of 4 rounds and won the night. Star Wars Episode VII: Crisis on Malaysian Star Tours tried their best to keep up, but finished second.

If you're interested in guest hosting, talk to Adam at Pub Quiz and he'll put you on our list of future hosts.

At the last game hosted by Adam & Ed, Crash Bandicoot was randomly chosen for round 2 topics and here's what they want you to study up on:
Krebs Cycle

It'll be the first week of a jackpot run, but that doesn't mean you can't come out to Pub Quiz and take home the big prize. We'll see you next Wednesday at Pub Quiz.  If you want to get extra quizzy, check out Sequoia North Pub Quiz on Monday nights.
