We had another terrific crowd in for Trivia on Tuesday night, as 15 teams took part in the festivities. We had a close race between five teams, and two of those teams were separated by the slimmest of margins, just one point, going into IQ Trivia. But the boys from DIMS held on and won, getting 43 points and their third consecutive victory. Congrats to Ken and Darek on another job well done.
We had a rare occurrence on Tuesday night, as the top four teams finished exactly one point behind the other. Second place went to Too Many Countries with 42 points, and third place went to Reality Kings with 41 points. (Fourth place went to White Van, Free Candy with 40 points.)
