Commander Rikurry and Rice Tastes Success

Another week, another good time at Pub Quiz.  When it was all said and done, the top 3 teams were all within 2 points of each of, and the next 4 were only another 1 or 2 points off of that.  And even though it was so close, one team actually managed to win rounds 1, 3, and 4.  That team, Commander Rikurry & Rice.  They ate up the competition but were not able to pull the jackpot chip from the full bag.  So, next week the jackpot starts to build.

Since they won round 4, as is custom, they chose topics for next week's round 2.  Here's what you should study:
Plate Tectonics
Diseases You Can Die From
South Lake Tahoe Nightclubs
Mormonism
Las Vegas, Nv.
Futurama
They Might Be Giants
Friar's Club
Palindromes
Giant Garter Snakes
1920's Burlesque
Foods Outlawed in California
Armenian Food
Hermaphrodites We Know and Love, Again!

There you have it.  Study up and enjoy.  We'll see you next Wednesday at Pub Quiz.

Duckie For the Win!

It was another good week of Pub Quiz at the Landmark on Wednesday.  A couple of lead changes, a late rally and an overall tie made it fun for us, and hopefully for you as well.  When it was all said and done, Duckie Would Like to Thank the Academy were the winners, and they pulled the jackpot chip.

Attack of the Quads won round 4, and that helped them into the overall tie but they just missed on the tie-breaker.  However, they still chose these topics for next week's round 2 for everyone to study:
Words that start with the letter A
90's cartoons
80's cartoons
Dumb and Dumber (movie)
G-code (manufacturing)
California 8th Grade US History Standards
California 7th Grade World History Standards
Non-deterministic Finite Automata
World Geography
College Mascots
RuPaul's Drag Race (tv show)

African Countries & Capitals - just names, not facts

Idiots be winning

A Tale Told By An Idiot had a pretty dominating night this week.  They won two rounds, and were in the tie breaker for the other two rounds.  They scored 34 points and won by 4.  The only thing that would have made it better for them would be if they had pulled the jackpot chip, but they didn't.  So, the jackpot will begin to grow.

They Beamed Up A Win

It must have been fate or perhaps luck, because we asked a question about the highest percentage of people killed by shirt color on Star Trek in round 1, and although the Red Shirt Security Detail didn't win round 1, they won rounds 2-4.  They capped off their night by pulling the jackpot chip.  Pretty impressive stuff, we'd say.  Here are the topics they chose for next week:
Downton Abbey
House of Cards (netflix series)
Pagan Holidays
Symphonies of Beethoven
Secondary Characters in Harry Potter
Dewey Decimal Classification
Romanov Dynasty
A Midsummer Night's Dream (play)

Hitch Hikers with Hatchets Chops Down Competition

We're not sure exactly how many swings it took, by the Hitch Hikers with Hatchets chopped down the rest of the teams for an exciting win.  However, they didn't win the jackpot, and so the jackpot begins to roll.
