Round Three’s most difficult question was on the category of Rock Bands.

A little under 40% of our teams came to the correct answer of 3 Doors Down.

One team, John Wilkes Blows My Mind (Fourscore Beer Co.) was able to notch a perfect score in Thursday’s third round.

FOURTH ROUND:

The most difficult question of this round along with the most difficult bonus of the night was the 20th Century Literature question.

  • The written work titled A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is not a painting but instead is the first published novel by which Irish author?

    2-POINT BONUS: What was this author’s FINAL published novel?

About 38% of our teams knew this author was James Joyce, but only 14% of those teams guessed the answer to the bonus which as Finnegan’s Wake.

No teams earned a perfect score in Round Four. These were your highest scoring Thursday teams heading into the final question:

FINAL QUESTION (38.2% success rate):
