Despite the rainy weather in New York last night, we had a good crowd of 13 teams in for Trivia. And a rare event occurred at the finish: a team jumped from fourth place to win the night. The team of Quinn-cidental Winners got off to a slow start at first, but had three solid round going into IQ Trivia, and were five points back. But they made their move, running the table to get 46 points and the win. Congratulations to Adam and his friends on their first ever Tuesday Night Trivia win.
Second place went to Bed, Bath & Beyonce (who also won for Best Team Name) with 40 points, and third place went to Team Will Do with 39 points.
