A killer team of hardened quiz pros from Leith turned up to Jenny Ha’s last night, blasting quiz heat all over the regulars, and finishing first by 16 points in a flurry of knowledge the likes of which the pub had never seen before.
They went with the name THE DUDE ABIDES and won the wine, nae bother – and I expected them to make light work of the jackpot question, particularly when it turned out to be a geography question which is the kind of thing that proper quiz folk gobble up and spit out like unwanted chips.
Here’s the question they faced for £20:
Q. Which New York borough is connected to Brooklyn via the Verrazano Narrows bridge?
A. Queens
B. Manhattan
C. Bronx
D. Staten Island
After much conflabbing of minds, memories and mental maps, the team opted for Queens. This is not the right answer. Do you know what is?
Meanwhile, congrats to Jo, Jamie and Kylie, the funniest bar staff in the world. Well, they must be because they won the jokes round.
And the jokes prize this week? none other than THE HONEY MONSTER.
Awesome.
