We started the game off by not knowing the 4 point question in Heavy Metal. After all, who ever heard of Slipknot? At least in the next round they had good questions such as, "who plays the part of Sheldon in the Big Bang Theory?" That is only like one of the best shows to make you laugh, so of course we know Jim Parsons. I didn't know that he is only 2 years younger than myself. His stage make up is really good!
Next we were on to books, Can you name The Millennium-trilogy? It consist of "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo", "The Girl Who Played With Fire", and "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest". After having seen the movie released this last year, It wasn't to hard to know this one. BTW...Please look up and read the IMDB before watching movies like this one. I'm still wishing I had done so before watching it.
We only missed 1 of the 5 part half time question. We were all feeling pretty good about our placement in the rapid rounds. We hung in there with scoring 15 points on each of those 2 rounds. Then it was time for that Final Question of the night. You all know the one I'm talking about. It's what makes or breaks the teams! Tonight's question was about when the White House burned down. Now I know that I should know my history, however I was surprised to even know that it ever had. So far those of you who don't know anything about it, here is a good place to start: http://www.answers.com/topic/when-did-the-white-house-burn-down Needless to say, the other team members knew the answer and we advanced into a 2nd place win!
There was a tie for 3rd place tonight between the Cyber Squad and the Clemson Tigers. So the tie breaker question went out and wouldn't you know it, both teams were correct. So it was a double tie break with the Cyber Squad pulling off the lead for 3rd place. Tonight's 1st place team was the "Wildly Inappropriate's" who had a 5 point lead over us. So that gives each of tonight's players $2.85 each credit. When we get together the next game, I'm going to do a pay out and then from here on, I'll bring cash with me to just split up the money we win the same night. It's to confusing for me to keep track of it this way. BTW, I remember that this new way of keeping track was my idea, so don't rub it in...LOL.
