Trivia win

We won one of the trivia contests Monday night. Our team was Darrel, Mona, Marv, Al and I. Jeff and Donna weren't there.

Last week we came close to winning as we were in the tie breaker for one of the contests, but we lost. We guessed 1990 as the year the Mickey Mouse TV show ended. The actual end date was March 1996.

Last night we won the second game outright. We had 18 answers correct and the next highest score was either 16 or 17 correct. Yes! The other teams applauded our win which felt nice. The winning prize was a $20 certificate for drinks which we will use next week. In our win the team really came together as everyone contributed correct answers the others did not know.

In the first contest of the night we came in second place with 17 answers correct. Another team had all 20 answers correct. This is only the second time a team has gotten all 20 questions correct.

The trivia questions this night did seem a little easier than usual. Also to make competition easier, the lawyers/judge team was not there. No matter, we would have won the second game even if they were there.

This week they had better prizes for the quarters questions. Darrel really wanted the Pabst Blue Ribbon beer t-shirt that said something about "not just for breakfast anymore". He liked the saying, and that the shirt was sized XXL. Darrel ran around with the quarters bucket and only would guess if no one had their hand raised. Earlier he told us he wanted us to make guesses and try to win the t-shirt. People made a number of wrong guesses before I told Mona I thought the answer to "Which President was the first to be photographed" was President James Polk (1845-49). She made the guess and we won the t-shirt for Darrel.
