Day 234

Day 234: Every Monday night, for quite a while now, we've been going head-to-head with another team from the office who are just as nerdy as we are.  Almost exactly as nerdy, in fact.  Tonight was the finals for the quarter, so this would be the culmination of 12 weeks of trivia.  We don't all always make it out, but we certainly had a presence every week, and we were actually TIED with the other office team for 6th place overall (note: the team in 5th place was about 30 points ahead of us, and you can't make more than about 32 points in a week, so the only way we were going to get into the top five was if that team suddenly died.  The FIRST place team was 70+ points ahead of us, so we really had no hope of winning overall).  We did, however, have hope that we could beat the other team from our office.

And we did.

After 12 weeks of wild guesses that proved to be correct, buried knowledge that inexplicably found its way to the light of day, and knowing quite a lot about the periodic table, we managed to beat them for the night and to win out over them for the quarter.

By ONE POINT.

Next week the whole thing starts over again, so I'll keep you posted. 

Go team!!  "SNAKES ON LEASHES RULE!  WE'RE NUMBER 6!!  WE'RE NUMBER 6!!"

Ha!

Tomorrow, ADVENTURE!!  :)
