The second week of the Brownstone Trivia Tournament was just as fun as the first, except this week, we tried the $7 nachos that are so abundant they are served on a cookie sheet. Yum.
As with last week, we experienced another shady question:
This past week, U.S. law enforcement apprehended a hitman who was a member of what illegal Mexican organizations?
The answer? Drug cartels. We felt a little misled by the question and a lot disappointed in the vague answer–we had expected the name of a specific organization. (The question was comparable to: Who was the first president? A white man.) Not that we know the names of any drug cartels. One team answered with “The Chupacabras,” which was wrong but kind of awesome:
A Chupacabra
And now, the standings after Week 2:
Tied for 1st: Backstreet Boyeez and Beer Makes Smart
Tied for 2nd: Grants & Co. and Werewolf Bar Mitzvah
3rd: I’ll Take Potpourri for $100, Alex
The tournament is taking a short hiatus, so we’ll be back to report in 2 weeks. This blog, however, is not taking a hiatus, so check back here for more trivia reviews during the break!
