The Team In The Back

 

 

i’m going back 8 days on this recap.  last week Builder came in early, and staked out a table in the back with a tv pointed right at them.  and when his teammates arrived and filled in the empty seats, we had a new “team in the back”.

they were tested with questions like

  • What does the Mona Lisa have on her left hand?
  • Name the five presidents who wore a beard while in office.
  • The High Priestess, Wheel of Fortune and Lovers can all be found where? (besides Vegas)
  • What company was known until 1924 as the computing, tabulating, recording company?
  • What toxic metallic element has an atomic number of 82?

and it turned out that a LOT of teams knew a LOT of the answers.  in fact, heading into the home stretch not only was it anybody’s game - it actually was anybody’s game.  not only was “the team in the back” in the mix, but so were “three tacos and a hot dog”, “the new champs”, and team “bring it”.

some people had enough spare time for a bit of doodling . . .

before the dust settled, adventurous players took their swing at solving the evening’s puzzle.  can you rearrange the letters in the following words to create a single 13 letter word?

these folks could . . .

although it looked like a tie game was a really strong possibility, one team outperformed the others in the final round.  breaking away from the pack at the end was . . .
