Did You Accept the Offer of Tuesday Trivia?

Tuesday’s game of Pour House Trivia welcomed 93 teams across ten venues.

FIRST ROUND:

Opening round topics from Tuesday night began with a three-part question on dog breeds where are teams were given a hybrid dog breed and they had to name the two breeds they were a cross between, the dogs in question were a Pomsky, Chug, and Peek-a-Poo. The respective answers were Pomeranian and Husky, Chihuahua and Pug, and Pekingese and Poodle. Other topics in Round One included Maid Marian, Red Lobster, and the tv sitcom that debuted 47 years ago today, The Jeffersons.

Six teams posted a perfect first round score on Tuesday night.

SECOND ROUND:

In Tuesday’s audio question, the field dealt with songs whose titles began and ended with the same letter, those answers were “America,” “Pop” and “Roar.” Subsequent topics included the Boston Bruins, the Van Pelt children from Peanuts, Linus, Lucy, and Rerun  Endeavour, and we changed a letter to make the answers to circus and cirrus.

Only one team Quiz in My Pants (Dudley’s Sport and Ale) earned a perfect Sound Round score.

Tuesday’s Third Round went fairly smooth for the majority of our teams. We discussed the topics of the Frost/Nixon interviews, the acronym NIMBY, which stands for Not in My Back Yard, a three-part question about sporting nicknames where the answers were “Doc,” “Goose” and “Iceman,” and the animated Land Before Time franchise. Round Three also included the most difficult question of the night on the topic of medical maladies.

• This short-term medical condition is scientifically known as ‘epistaxis .’An urban legend exists that this malady was the cause of Attila the Hun’s death. What is that condition?

A little under 25% of our teams were able to come up with the correct answer of nosebleed.

Despite an easier third round only one team, Drunken Birds of Steele (Dudley’s Sport and Ale) earned a perfect third round score on Tuesday night.

FOURTH ROUND:

After our nightly 6-4-2 question took up to Arkansas we began Round Four. In a unique occurrence Round Four featured two bonuses where only two teams earned their bonus points. After we asked a question about the film Postcards from the Edge we asked our teams to name either one of the first names of the two main characters a mother and daughter. Your Realtors (Epiq Food Hall) picked up two points by saying either Suzanne or Doris. 

We also asked a question about owl where only one team, Wiseacres (Distilled) earned a bonus by knowing the tallest owl in the world is the Great Grey Owl.

Other topics in the round included Henny Penny, The Beatles White Album, and we finished up the night with a three-clues question about the word Juno.
