Quick Update and the April 10, 2012 Game

March 27th was done earlier by SpaceTrucker Steve.  I also didn't make the April 3rd trivia night due to working, however I know that the Romero's Rejects took 1st Place.  I'm Proud of the team.  It was Mike, Steve, and Owen who pulled off this win alone!  Way to go guys!

April 10th

Tonight was Mike, Owen, Jim and myself.  It was a pleasure to have Jim join our team. We will be competing against 15 other teams.

 We started off with missing the Pokemon questions.  The correct answer was Pikachu.  I should have known this one, as my girls have a gold plated card in a case from when it was first released. Sad that I forgot about his name. 

We did know the creator of Family Guy.  We moved into round 2 gaining another 10 points for our team.  In round 3, well let's not even talk about round 3, it was as if the lights went out for us in the sports and Movie questions.  We all knew that Steve would know the movie question with ease, yet he was off in CA enjoying the sunshine...he is missed!
Half time was all about Music.  It started off easy with Bad romance and Jim knew the next one was Brick House...way to go Jim, I had no idea on that one. 
We gained another 25 points in the next 2 rapid rounds.  Now we all know it's down to the Final Question of the night.  It's Historic Event and I would love to tell you what the question was, however I can't remember it and it is only notes here.   I do know the answer has something to do with this:  http://csep10.phys.utk.edu/astr161/lect/comets/halley.html
Even with the correct answer, we didn't place tonight.  However there was a tie for 2nd and 3rd place between Bad Idea and Team Awesome.  Since we weren't in the tie breaker, I didn't really think of the question, however I do know that the answer was 1936 and that was the exact answer given by Team Awesome with Bad Idea guessing 1940.  Does anyone out there remember the question?
Tonights winning teams are:

84 points and in 1st place "Clemson Tigers"
82 points and because of the correct year in the tie breaker, "Team Awesome"
82 points for 3rd place is Bad Idea.

Congrats to the teams and I hope everyone had as much fun as we have!
