Pub Quiz Recap (Nov. 17th 2010)
Categories – Money in Movies, Album Covers, Geography, Women’s Studies, and Hip/Hop Music
Winners – In an all too familiar trend, Southbound Pachyderm comes back from their less than normal showing last week to take number 1 with a bullet again this week. Kidneys Come and Go had their best performance in a month to take second, and the weekly name-changers who this week went with Gandhi’s Militia battled hard to finish out the top 3.
Sample Question – (Women’s Studies) What are the only 2 remaining countries that specifically deny the right to vote to women? (Must specifically deny all women, it doesn’t count if both men and women are restricted or fully denied the vote)
Last Week’s Answer – Sofia Coppola
Leaderboard – Southbound, with this win will all but seal their first place win for this semester’s leaderboard, which would be in danger of a tie if, and only if, they no-show next week, or score the lowest score possible and Pink on the Brink gets first place. That being said, anything can and often does, happen. Kidneys Come and Go are guaranteed third at this point, for what has been one heck of a season for the Lush Pub Quiz Leaderboard. Big thanks to all the teams who came week after week, even if you aren’t in the top 10, and an extra special thanks to Southbound, Pink on the Brink, Kidneys Come and Go, Nuns with Guns, and Quiz in my Pants, all of whom missed 1 or fewer quizzes, and in case its not obvious, the top three teams didn’t miss a single week of the action.
You guys rock!
