Thursday Game Recaps

Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Thursday Trivia!

by

The final Thursday game of Season XVIII welcomed 108 teams across 14 venues:

FIRST ROUND:

We began Thursday’s game with the most difficult bonus question of the first half.  After most teams earned wagering points with on a question concerning the Labrador Retriever, only eight teams picked up two bonus points by also knowing that the breed’s extinct ancestor was the St. John’s water dog.  Later, we looked at the protocol for flying the U.S. flag 24 hours a day at certain landmarks, with one exception being this national monument:

Mount Rushmore

Another difficult bonus closed the first round, as only 11% of our teams knew that Steven Jackson holds the Los Angeles Rams franchise record for most career rushing yards.  As a result, the only team to notch a perfect first round was the Fan Club (Quincy’s).

SECOND ROUND:

Thursday’s audio question asked our teams to identify three singers whose names include those of chess pieces.  We heard “Stand By Me” by Ben E. King, “Give It To You” by Jordan Knight, and “U.N.I.T.Y.” by Queen Latifah.  Next, we discussed the DKNY fashion label, the film “The Shining”, and this tourist destination:

Hersheypark

The final question of the first half was also its most difficult:

–> The author of New Testament books such as Romans, Corinthians, and Galatians, which religious figure was born in the city of Tarsus in Asia Minor?

Only 31% of our teams responded correctly with St. Paul.  Seven teams recorded a perfect score of 36 points in the second round.

HALFTIME:

The top half of Thursday’s halftime page looked at TV shows which will be airing their final episode later this year, while the bottom half quizzed our teams on liquors and their key ingredients.  This page yielded perfect scores to 14% of the field, with the overall average score landing at 17.6 points.  here is Thursday’s halftime leaderboard:

THIRD ROUND:

We opened Thursday’s second half with a Three Clues question about paper, before asking a music question which included the most difficult bonus question of the night.  We asked our teams to name either one of the two Canadian women who are the only people in history to have won 20 Juno awards (Canada’s version of the Grammy Awards).  While nearly every team gave us at least one correct answer with Celine Dion, only six teams earned bonus points by also naming Anne Murray:

Anne Murray

We continued with a difficult A + B = C question on the subject of animal anatomy before closing with a look at Harry Potter.  For the second time in three rounds, the Fan Club (Quincy’s) posted the only perfect score at any of our 14 venues.

FOURTH ROUND:

Final round topics from Thursday night included the solar system, the sport of cricket, and this comedy flick which was recently adapted into a stage musical:

Clueless

With a slightly easier trio of bonus questions, six teams swept the final round with 36 points.  Here is Thursday’s pre-final leaderboard:

THURSDAY’S FINAL QUESTION (44.4% success rate):

–> The sneaky signing of former Athletics second baseman Lou Bierbauer in 1891 led to the use of a certain word which inspired a new team name for Bierbauer’s recently-joined squad.  For your wager, what current MLB team name was created through this incident?

Just under half of our teams responded correctly with the Pittsburgh Pirates.  Congratulations to We Are Groot (Dawg House), who recorded the only Perfect 21 of the night by answering all wagering questions correctly.  Here is Thursday’s final overall leaderboard:

The Cake Was NOT a Lie at Thursday Trivia!

by

For the second night this week, we opened a new Pour House Trivia venue, as a huge crowd of 13 teams took in the inaugural game at The Derby Restaurant in New Market. All told, we welcomed 122 teams across 14 venues:

FIRST ROUND:

A trio of difficult bonus questions highlighted the first round of Thursday’s game. After opening the round by scarfing down 72 hot dogs in ten minutes, we discussed the college career of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and asked a question about these cartoon characters:

Hey Arnold

Only seven teams earned two bonus points on this question by knowing that Craig Bartlett created the Nickelodeon series “Hey Arnold!”. We closed the opening stanza with a three-part question concerning the home states of three of the most populous counties in the country: Cook County, Harris County, and Mariposa County. Nine teams picked up two bonus points here with three correct answers of Illinois, Texas, and Arizona. Thanks to this difficult set of bonus questions, none of our Thursday teams recorded a perfect first round score.

SECOND ROUND:

We took to the skies for Thursday’s audio question, as we heard clips from Jefferson Airplane (“Somebody to Love”), U2 (“Mysterious Ways”), and Jet (“Are You Gonna Be My Girl”). After a look at the recent accolades bestowed upon the late Rosa Parks, we asked the most difficult wagering question of the first half:

–> Earning his first Oscar nomination for the 1987 film “Cry Freedom”, which two-time Oscar-winning actor is set to receive the 47th AFI Life Achievement Award?

The drama film “Cry Freedom” told the tragic story of South African civil rights activist Stephen Biko, providing the first lead film role for this future Oscar winner:

Training Day Trivia

Only 19% of our teams gave us the correct response of Denzel Washington. We closed the half with another difficult bonus question, as only six teams knew that the Ministry of Love was responsible for mantaining law and order in the dystopian George Orwell novel “Nineteen Eighty-Four,”. Two teams ran the table in the second round with a perfect score of 36 points: Dave Martinez School of Management (Quincy’s) and 1-2-3 Drink (Cushwa Brewing).

HALFTIME:

The Oscars theme (sort of) continued onto the halftime page, as we asked our teams identify ten celebrities who shared a common characteristic. The hidden theme was that each person had been portrayed by a performer who would go to win an Oscar for that role. While a number of teams earned 19 points on this halftime page, no team managed to reel in all 20 points, though the overall average remained relatively high at 16.8 points. Here is your Thursday leaderboard at the break:

THIRD ROUND:

Thursday’s third round included this wicked question in the category of the Emmy Awards:

–> Excluding variety shows (such as “Saturday Night Live”), name either the most Emmy-nominated comedy series of all-time or the most Emmy-nominated drama series of all-time.

With many critically acclaimed shows to choose from, it was no surprise that only 11% of our teams earned points with either one of the two correct answers: “Cheers” and “Game of Thrones”. The final question of the third round discussed the work of Belgian surrealist painter Rene Magritte, who created this treacherous image:

Brother of Menelaus (Fish Market) recorded the only perfect score of the third round.

FOURTH ROUND:

The questions in Thursday’s final round pulled back on the reins ever so slightly, as we discussed the classic rock bands which included Eric Clapton, recent NFL scandals, and the Magna Carta. We closed the fourth round with another snack break, with this one featuring the New Orleans delicacy of the Po’ Boy:

The final round saw six teams earn a perfect score of 36 points. As we readied for the final question, these were your highest scoring Thursday teams:

THURSDAY’S FINAL QUESTION (76.1% success rate):

–> With its first use dating back to the late 18th century, the French phrase “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche” is most commonly attributed to which historic figure?

Just over three-quarters of our teams responded correctly with Marie Antoinette. None of our teams recorded the Perfect 21 on Thursday night, as each team missed at least one wagering question. Here is your final Thursday leaderboard:

A Golden Delicious Night of Thursday Trivia!

by

Thanks to the holidays, last night’s game of Pour House Trivia included numerous guest appearances from our Monday and Tuesday teams, leading to a total field size of 141 teams across 14 venues. One of those venues featured some PHT history after an incredible battle between two trivia juggernauts!

FIRST ROUND:

Opening round topics from Thursday’s game included Russian leaders, “The Wizard of Oz”, and this product known by two different names:

In a bit of a rarity, the most difficult bonus question of the night was asked in the first round. Only 9% of our teams knew that Lenny Wilkens coached the Seattle SuperSonics to the 1979 NBA Championship. As a result, four teams began their night with a perfect first round score: Fan Club (Quincy’s), FNQ (Champion Billiards), Simple Minds (Beef ‘O’ Brady’s), and Bonestorm (Fish Market).

SECOND ROUND:

We walked the “streets” for Thursday’s audio clue, as we asked our teams to identify the songs “Takin’ It to the Streets” by The Doobie Brothers, “Where the Streets Have No Name” by U2, and “Streets of Philadelphia” by Bruce Springsteen. Later, we looked at the moons of Mars, the cities of New Zealand, and this work of dystopian fiction:

Handmaid's Tale

The second round was no match for Thursday’s stellar field, as a whopping 18 teams ran the table by racking up 36 points.

HALFTIME:

Thursday’s halftime page featured pictures of actors who packed on the pounds with prosthetics in comedy films. Falling on the easier side, this page yielded perfect scores to 11% of the field while the overall average landed at 18.3 points. Here are your highest scoring teams at Thursday’s halftime break:

THIRD ROUND:

Thursday’s second half began with a look at this action film:

We continued with questions concerning the Thomas Hardy novel “Tess of the D’Urbervilles”, Green Goddess salad dressing, and 2018 NFL trades. Seven teams earned a perfect third round score.

FOURTH ROUND:

Our final round began with a look at “The Sopranos”, before moving on to topics such as Italy’s Po River and the musical “My Fair Lady”. We closed Thursday’s game with a fairly difficult bonus question posed in the Three Clues format:

CLUE 1: Last month, two of this man’s albums reached the top five of the Billboard 200 chart.

CLUE 2: Those two albums were the 2018 album “Love” (stylized by a red heart emoji), and the 2011 album “Christmas”.

While few teams even ventured a guess at this point, these two clues were enough for 12% of our teams to earn a two-point bonus by recognizing the work of this Canadian crooner:

Michael Buble

Seven teams closed their night by posting a perfect final round score. Here are your highest scoring Thursday teams after four rounds of play:

THURSDAY’S FINAL QUESTION (80.4% success rate):

–> Designed by Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne in 1976, the original logo for Apple featured a depiction of what notable scientist?

More than four-fifths of our teams earned wagering points on this final question with the correct response of Sir Isaac Newton. Congratulations to the eight teams that earned the Perfect 21 on Thursday by answering all wagering questions correctly. Here is Thursday’s final overall leaderboard:

An epic game took place at Quincy’s in Gaithersburg, one of our most loyal teams posted its highest score ever. After coming up just one point short of a perfect game, Fan Club became the 12th team in PHT history to score more than 180 points. In addition, runner-up Tantric Yogurt became the FIRST team in history to score 180 points in a losing effort. If only these folks were bigger fans of Alyson Hannigan.

THURSDAY’S WINNERS:

Quincy’s Bar and Grille in Gaithersburg, MD:  Fan Club  (Next week’s first category: Triple 50/50 – Canadian or American?)

Champion Billiards in Frederick, MD:  Just Good Enough  (Next week’s first category: “Unbreakable” film series)

A Lazy Night of Thursday Trivia…

by

With all of our Monday and Tuesday night venues taking the week off for Christmas, we saw many of those teams making guest appearances at our Thursday games, ballooning our attendance to 136 teams across 14 venues:

FIRST ROUND:

We opened Thursday’s game with a question regarding this classic TV series:

Dukes of Hazzard Trivia

We continued by asking a Three Clues question concerning the Greek goddess Nike. We also enjoyed a lager beer before closing with a look at the connection between NASA and the city of Houston. This final question of the round also provided the field with its most difficult bonus question:

–> NASA also uses the Backup Control Center in what other U.S. city?

Apparently, only nine teams saw the film “SpaceCamp” (or used some other method of determining the answer), helping them earn two bonus points with the correct response of Huntsville, Alabama. As a result, the only perfect score of the first round was recorded by Zambookie (Champion Billiards).

SECOND ROUND:

Each of the three songs featured in Thursday’s audio question included the name of a California city in its title. We heard clips from “Do You Know the Way to San Jose” by Dionne Warwick, “I Love L.A.” by Randy Newman, and “Santa Monica” by Everclear. We visited the mountainous region of Tibet, the ancient city of Syracuse, and discussed the numerous adaptations of this work:

Phantom of the Opera

The only speed bump for most of our teams was a bonus question which asked for the actual first name of the title character from “The Phantom of the Opera”. Only 11% of our teams earned bonus points with the correct answer of Erik, leading to a total of six perfect scores in the second round.

HALFTIME:

Pictures of TV game shows were featured on Thursday’s halftime page, while a matching section quizzed our teams about foreign versions of Santa Claus. With the average score landing at 15.2 points, we saw eight teams notch a perfect score of 20 points. Here is Thursday’s halftime leaderboard:

THIRD ROUND:

Third round topics included the films of Alfred Hitchcock, African geography, the albums of Radiohead, and the illustrations of this pretentious periodical:

Eight teams ran the table in the third round, posting a perfect score of 36 points.

FOURTH ROUND:

Thursday’s final round featured three wicked bonus questions which helped spread the field at many venues. A three-part question concerning TV personalities named Shepard saw just nine teams earn bonus points by knowing that Chevel Shepard is the most recent winner of “The Voice”. Next, we trekked through the Alps with Hannibal and enjoyed a snack from this geographically-named brand:

In our second half sports question, we asked our teams to name either one of the two MLB players were active in both 1999 and 2018. While a majority of the field earned wagering points with one of the two answers, only 16% responded with both correct answers of Bartolo Colon and Adrian Beltre. The game closed with a look at the Salvation Army, with just seven teams tacking on two bonus points by knowing that the organization was founded by William Booth and his wife Catherine. The only perfect score of the final round was posted by Dave Martinez School of Management (The Grille at Flower Hill). Here is Thursday’s pre-final leaderboard:

THURSDAY’S FINAL QUESTION (39.7% success rate):

–> In the 16th century, a French missionary wrote about a new animal he had discovered in South America, describing it as a “little bear” with a face “almost like that of a baby”.  For your wager, what animal was he describing?

About two in five teams responded correctly with the sloth. Congratultions to the seven teams that recorded the Perfect 21 on Thursday night by answering every wagering question correctly. Here is your final Thursday leaderboard:

You Can’t Beat the Feeling of Thursday Trivia!

by

A lot of our trivia players must have planned a day off on Friday, as the Thursday night venues were PACKED! Nine of our 15 venues featured at least ten teams on Thursday night, as we welcomed a total of 122 teams to this challenging game:

FIRST ROUND:

We opened Thursday’s game with a Three Clues question regarding the Roman god Cupid, who (for some reason) shares his name with one of Santa’s reindeer. Next, we quizzed our teams on the origin of the holiday decoration tinsel. The follow-up bonus question proved to be the most difficult of the night, as only one team knew that the German word ‘lametta’ refers to tinsel that features longer strands which are used to emulate icicles. We Just Blue Ourselves (Fish Market) gained two points on the etnire field with a correct response. We closed the first round with a question concerning this animated holiday film:

Eight Crazy Nights

Thanks to a wicked bonus question, we did not see any perfect scores in the first round.

SECOND ROUND:

Tuesday’s audio question featured three holiday tunes respectively sung by Freddie Mercury, Adam Levine, and Gwen Stefani. We discussed the annual 24-hour marathon of “A Christmas Story” on TBS as well as the most populous cities in the Mountain Time Zone. Next, we stumped most of the field with the most difficult wagering question of the night:

–> If you add together the number of English and British monarchs in history respectively named Edward, George, and Elizabeth, what total would you have?

Only 22% of our teams earned points with the correct answer of 18 (eight kings named Edward, six kings named George, two queens named Elizabeth). Finally, we asked our teams to name the position played by current NBA stars Damian Lillard, Kyrie Irving, and Stephen Curry. After most of our teams earned wagering points with the correct answer of point guard, only five teams tacked on two bonus points by knowing that this Hall of Famer known as “The Big O” scored more points than any other point guard in NBA history:

HALFTIME:

Airlines and Christmas characters were the featured topics on Thursday’s halftime page, which yielded perfect scores to 18% of the field with an overall average of 17.3 points. Here is Thursday’s halftime leaderboard:

THIRD ROUND:

Thursday’s second half began with a three-part question regarding European capital cities, followed by a look at the Advent calendar. After a question about the U2 album “Songs of Innocence”, we offered our teams two bonus points if they could name the 18th century Englishman who created the poetry collection from which the title was borrowed. Across the board, only nine teams gave us the correct response of William Blake. We closed the third stanza with the film work of John Candy and this New York City landmark:

Three teams ran the table in the third round by posting 36 points: 99th Precinct (Smoketown), Uranus Fly Trap (Smoketown), and Bueller…, Bueller… (Belly Love).

FOURTH ROUND:

A three-part question concerning Christmas-themed TV episodes opened Thursday’s final round. The most difficult of the three parts featured the episode title of “Scrooge Gets an Oscar”, but this episode had nothing to do with the Academy Awards. Instead, it referred to the character named Oscar from this classic series:

Odd Couple

Other final round topics included the film “The Polar Express”, Frangelico hazelnut liqueur, and the sport of boxing. Two teams posted a perfect final round score: 99th Precinct (Smoketown) and Uranus Fly Trap (Smoketown). Here is your Thursday leaderboard after four rounds of play:

THURSDAY’S FINAL QUESTION (67.3% success rate):

–> Founded in 1886, what American company’s flagship product’s color is officially listed as Caramel E-150d?

Just over two-thirds of our teams responded correctly with Coca-Cola.
