Dane County Library Trivia 2012 for Madison Public Libraries was held at the Eagles Club on Saturday, October 20, 7 pm. It was a night of competition between not only the teams that are playing but also against nine other Dane County libraries participating for the Trivia King crown!
This activity supported the Beyond the Page campaign which encourages programming for the humanities.
My team still dominated the 5 point bonus question! I continue to debate the fact that the Three Wise Men were not named Emily, Quinn and Luke - I want to see the historiography on that one.
I didn't know this about triva nights, but they play a song or two in between each question.
Some were better than others. heh.

Our team from Fort Collins won the regular season trivia contest. Our prize was a trip to Winter Park. They put us up for the night in a room and we got to play some more trivia!
The 2nd incarnation of my daily trivia team, and our first victory. I had assembled a group as the "Nautical Nerds" on Day 1, but after Day 2 I didn't see them again. My wife was convinced that as team captain, I steamrolled my teammates and chose my answers over theirs.
To be fair, given a question like "What was the top-grossing film of the 1950's?", and a situation where we had two decent answers - "Ben-Hur" and "The Ten Commandments" - a choice simply has to be made. And someone has to make that choice, and deal with the consequences, good or bad. That's why we have team captains.
So, by day 4 I re-formed the team with new blood, and also altered the name to "The Marinerds", a much more elegant portmanteau name. And we won! Champagne for everyone? Well, everyone in our team, anyway.
