Once You've Had a Fortensky, Everything Else is Gravy wins the night

With a dominating score of 34 points, team Fortensky swept round 4 and the overall win this last Wednesday but failed to draw the blue chip. Turnout was low, probably due in part to the rain and weather, but we hope the one in three chance of winning the jackpot pulls a few more of you out next week. Should you decide to quiz it up, we suggest you study up on the following topics so you don't get left behind in round 2 next week:

1. Evolutionary Biology
2. Judge Judy
3. Greek Mythology
4. Friday (film)
5. Blur (band)
6. Exile on Main Street (Rolling Stones album)
7. The novels of Ira Levin

9. Teddy Roosevelt
10. State Birds
11. Ouran High School Host Club (anime)
12. The novels of Jules Verne
13. European Geography
14. Jack the Ripper

A nice mix of broad and narrow topics. Good luck!

Superfriends...With Benefits enjoy some perks

We had our first ever three-way tie after the final round of this week's game. Superfriends...With Benefits, Fresnocity, and Starring Commander Riker as "The Beaver" all finished with 30 points. It was a close game with a good showing from many teams but these three rose to the top. As the tie-breaker we asked the teams what the combined score of Super Bowl 45 was and Superfriends...With Benefits managed to get the right answer giving them the win. Alas (for them), they did not draw the jackpot.
