Just a quick note to let everyone know that the Green Scissors team took the Crystal Cup at the W.J. McBrides Pub Quiz Championship in Overland Park, KS.
After finishing second on several occasions during the season, the Green Scissors team (registered members include Tamarin, dawnuh, Cherish and Nancy) staged an amazing run through the middle rounds of the championship and held off late rallies by several teams including two time defending champs Gertrude Ederle to come away with the win. The final margin of victory was less than 30 points (translating into three correct answers over the 8 round competition).
Significant answers during the finals include the correct identification of Benito Mussolini, a near guess at the original number of Supreme Court Justices, correctly filling in the blanks on Black Eyed Peas lyrics and in an improbable lark of a correct answer coming up with the movie Leprechan 2 based on a plot synopsis and tag line.
