IT WAS A FUN NIGHT WITH OVER 70 PEOPLE COMING FORMING TEAMS TO MATCH THEIR WITS WITH OTHERS.
- Local Observation
- History
- World of Entertainment
- General Knowledge
Some were hard, and some were easy, but there was a good cross-section of questions, which taxed the memories at times.
The winners were The Magnificent 7 + The Bandit, a team from the Village, almost exclusively female, who ran home by 6 clear points with 60 out of 80 correct answers.
Typical
questions included:
 Where are these window?

time of the General Strike in 1926? |
 In which
film did Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers first team up? |
 What was Phil Silvers rank in his comedy shows? |
Which European country is this?  |
 What is the temperature 61o Fahrenheit in 0 Centigrade? |

Silvio Burlesconi, Ernest Hemingway, (a young) Elizabeth Taylor,
Kurt Cobain, Jonah Lomu, Colin McCrae, David Trimble, Gloria
Swanson, Norman Schwarzkopf, Henri Mancini, and Kelsey Grammer.
