Tuesdays is of course big quiz night at the Shepherds Arms and we finished Second equal before losing out in the tie-breaker (first tie-breaker we've lost!). With these its the closest answer (its always a number question - like how many people does Millenium Stadium hold?) and this week's question was in minutes and seconds how long was the album 'Faith' by George Michael? My initial guess was 58 minutes - but was over ruled by the team and we went with 42 minutes 27 seconds. Correct answer was 52 minutes something... if only they had listened, we would have another $25 in the bank.
But anyway we got 10/10's in two rounds - my big call on one paid huge dividends - there were pictures of sports team uniforms and you had to pick the team or country. And being the nerd that I am I can even remember them - Manu Samoa, New Jersey Devils, San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Mariners, Juventus, Stormers, Leeds Rhinos, South Sydney Rabbitohs, Liverpool and Pakistan.
So for the two 10/10s we got $10 each and another $25 for third (should have been $50 for second!) which makes $45 for the night, taking our total to $785 for the year.
We got the Ponderous Puzzle on the second round too (where they give you clues each round) - For those in training for Thursday - see if you can get it on the first!
First round clues: I am a Film and I won 37 awards but no Oscars. Toni Collette turned down the lead role to do a stage show on Broadway.
Second round: Kate Winslet auditioned for the main role but didn't get it as she was thought to be 'too young'. My soundtrack included I'm Every Woman by Chaka Khan, All By Myself by Jamie O'Neal and Out of Reach by Gabrielle.
The second song gave it away - Bridget Jones' Diary.
