Ah, it feels good to be back on top. My “Street Academy” one-man wrecking crew (with my wife along as my personal rooting section) is now back on top in the Elbo Room $2000 Trivia Tournament. By nailing such questions as “Which US President threw out the most Baseball Opening Day first pitches?” (Franklin D Roosevelt), and “What is the current name of the island formerly known as Formosa?” (Taiwan), that put me in the lead. Then I was able to nail the 20th question, on “America at War” – “During World War II, the White House allowed two dozen of what animal to wander the White House lawn?” (it was sheep), so I was able to pick up the five first-place points, and am now back as the #1 seed in the tournament.
Here’s the standings, the top eight teams will get into the finals, they’re currently listed in green:
- STREET ACADEMY – 17 points
