Got the Munchies for Tuesday Trivia?

Twelve teams began their night with a perfect first round score.
SECOND ROUND:
In the second round, we played three songs about blame: “Blame It On the Rain” by Milli Vanilli, “Bang and Blame” by R.E.M., and “Sorry, Blame It On Me” by Akon. We also discussed the most recent Wimbledon champions and this former HBO comedy:
Three teams ran the table in the second round: How Did I Get Here? (Greene Growlers), Wolfpack (Quincy’s South), and Balls Out (Quincy’s South).

As usual, the third round included the most difficult wagering question of the night:
–> In addition to being made of carbon, blue diamonds derive their color from trace amounts of this chemical element which contaminates the crystalline lattice structure. Name this element which is numerically adjacent to carbon on the periodic table.
Only 21% of our teams earned points with the correct response of Boron. Later, we looked at how the Madden curse affected this former NFL quarterback:
The third round yielded just one perfect score: How Did I Get Here? (Greene Growlers).
FOURTH ROUND:
Tuesday’s final round included a nostalgic look at this music video:
We followed with the most difficult bonus question of the night, which came in the form of a Three Clues question:
CLUE 1: The surname of the only American woman to serve on the Mir space station.
CLUE 2: The first word in the title of a current hit song by Juice WRLD.
Only a handful of teams ventured a guess at this point, with most of the field waiting until this third clue:
CLUE 3: Derived From the Latin word meaning ‘clear’, this term describes a dream in which the dreamers are aware that they are dreaming.
Six teams earned bonus points with the correct answer of lucid. As a result, the final round did not yield any perfect scores. Here are your top Tuesday scores after four rounds of play:
