Last night's turnout was the best we had in September as eight teams made up of thirty-one players were on hand for a very competitive game. At halftime, forty questions into the night, "Old People," the evening's largest squad with six players, had the lead with 1250 points. With 850 points each, "Pray for Mojo," a trio, and "Hamma Thyme," a quartet which had the only stolen riot of the half, were tied for second place, and "Trebek's Rejects," a quintet, were all tied for second place. 600 points put "Ornate Capicola," a foursome, in fifth place. "We Are Smartacus," a team of four ladies, checked in with 450. And the two man "Herding Cats" and the trio of "Garfield's Dad's Birthday" each had 350. No team found the "Daily Double" in either round.
The second half saw another thirty-four questions put into play and when the final question rolled around, "Old People" had extended its lead, finishing the round with 3250 points. "Hamma Thyme" and "Pray for Mojo" remained tied with 2050 each. "Trebek's Rejects" slipped just a little, and finished the half in fourth place with 1950. "Ornate Capicola," which had the only stolen riot of the half, scored a solid 1900. "Herding Cats" got out of the cellar and moved up to sixth place with 1650. "We Are Smartacus" ended the round with 1550 and "Garfield's Dad's Birthday" finished with 1350.
The category for the final question was "Brand Names."

1. Detroit Red Wings
2. Chardonnay
3. kickback
4. Potomac
5. Akela
6. 28 (five times 7 equals 35 minus 7 equals 28)
Five of the eight teams answered the final question correctly. "Old People" did its "ciphering" correctly and bet 851 points to finish with 4101, good for first place and a cash prize of $74. "Pray for Mojo" and "Hamma Thyme" both bet all 2050 of their points to finish tied for second with 4100 points apiece, thus requiring a tie-breaker question. ("Trebek's Rejects" and "We Are Smartacus" also had the right answer and also bet all of their points.)
Tie-Breaker Question:
On how many episodes of "Seinfeld" did Wayne Knight appear as "Newman"?
"Pray for Mojo" guessed 75 and "Hamma Thyme" guessed 52. The correct answer is 43, so "Hamma Thyme" took second place and its cash prize of $50.
Thanks to all who played and we'll see you next Tuesday!
