Ending April Trivia, see you in May

April 19th: 
We started off doing alright tonight, even if I didn't know that the lowest prime number is 2....I thought 1 went into everything!  Oh well.  On tonights team is:  Drew, Mackenzie, Owen, Mike, Steve and myself.
The team "Regular Girls" was holding a perfect score all the way up to the Rapid Rounds, some where in there, they lost out. 
For some reason, I don't know how many teams were playing  tonight. However I do know we were all enjoying the compitition of some friendly teams. Our team was holding on all the way to Rapid round number 5 when the following happened:


Since the rules are "Wheither I'm wrong or right, I'm always right" for the Host of trivia, we lost one of the questions on Deserts that could have put us in a tie for 3rd place.  However in the defence of the Host, he was going by a printout.  Speaking of Hosts, As I understand it, our host tonight was the Owner of http://www.brainblasttrivia.com/.  So  there you have it folks...He does work. (He is the only guy in the picture) sorry, didn't get one of just him.

 We will be back again next week to win some more Las Trojas certificates.
Oh, the winning teams tonight were: 
3rd Place:    Mombo #5
2nd Place:    Bad Idea
1st Place:  Unknowns 
It was real close on tonights game, with the 1st place team only 2 points in the lead.  Congrats to all the teams.  See you next week!



April 26th:

We have the same team members as last week tonight...so we are all geared up and ready to win!
Tonight for the first time EVER we scored a perfect 10 on the half time question!!!!  We could name all 6 of the places in the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ChADh1zt5I ....Great song by the way.  (yes, you have to click the link to know the song and who it's by :)

We have 13 teams playing tonight and our Hosts are the wonderful Lisa and Barbra who have been doing this for a while now. 

Tug of war is one of the oldest games of team strength still played at school field days.  I've always been a BIG fan of this game.  Mostly because it requires everyone on the team to put all their efforts in to win.
To my surprise the guys all knew this one: 
The Simpsons has been dropped from morning TV in Venezuela after being deemed unsuitable for children - and has been replaced by Baywatch.  LIKE I want my children watching baywatch...NOT.
Sorry, personal view expressed on that one ;)  as if this whole blog doesn't have personal view all over it...LOL.
Now, back to the real reason you are reading this....TRIVIA

The correct answer is: Utah Beach, Omaha Beach, Gold Beach, Sword Beach, and Juno Beach
