As part of our regular update and by way of introduction to those of you who may be attending the quiz next week, a brief summary of last nights performance follows;
Only 2 of us this week, myself and the Kevster. Theo kicked the quiz off in the normal manner at 8.30 with Round 1 which consists of 30 general knowledge questions. We stumbled over the length of the Berlin wall and relative sizes of Sumatra and Borneo but were pleased to come out of the round on 26 which was just 1 point off the lead.
The music round was next up and we were pleased with Apache by the Shadows and Bizet for the opera question but less so by failing to get Julie Covington. The Name that tune section went well with the correct identification of the Yogi Bear theme tune, amongst others.
And so we entered the final round handily placed just 1 point off the lead and in a chasing pack of about 4 teams. I dont think that anyone got the answer to anagram of ACTIVATE although we did come up with the right answer but didn't have the courage of our convictions.
The final round stretched the field a bit and we were pleased with our performance, finishing in clear third just 2 points behind the winners. Not bad for a team of 2. If only we'd had a bigger team we might of known the fictional town that Heartbeat is set in and the time it took Amir Khan to achieve his ko (was it 76 seconds or 86?) and we might have won.
Anyway - next week's raffle prize is up to £450 with only 4 keys to choose from - So I hope to see a full complement of Hounds winning not only the quiz but the raffle too.
Good day to you all
