Encore Question of March 25, 2000.
Played at the Frog & Firkin in North York Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm well behind The Regulars who have the first nine boards. I couldn't guess anything right in the OnBeat round. After that I was 5000 points behind their group and didn't make up any ground. My game so far had gone like this:
TuneUp....5000/5000..1st/14...a 12 way tie for first with perfect scores. OnBeat...6750/14000...11th/14...3 right, 5 wrong, 1 I didn't answer...9 people won with 6500 points. JukeBox...12750/20000...10th/14...TIGER and ROCKET win with 6000 points in this round. Triviaoke...18404/28000...10th/13...ELVIS wins round.
I was playing with Bill MADDOG and Dave COITUS. We were hoping for a tough Encore question to make up any ground. I recognized the names as movie directors but didn't know Joel Coen. My book wouldn't help me tonight.
Question:...Carter Burwell writes the musical scores for pictures directed by:
I didn't know this. I haven't gone to the movies in a few years and don't watch very few of them on television. Dave said he liked 4 or 5. I had put in 4 just because it might be the 'due' between the 1-4 theory I had last Fall. Bill looked over at my answer and changed his to 4 although I said I didn't know.
Correct Answer:...5 Joel Coen
[NTN extra fact:...Burwell received an Academy Award nomination for his original score to 'Fargo'.]
I'm wrong and stay in 10th place as there wasn't much further down I could drop! I finish with 9202 points and am 5654th in North America. I earn only 1500+ Players Plus points for not meeting this week's 18000 point standard. The bar is 20th in North America with a 20563 average.
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank ELVIS 23598 35397 28 6th on Network Top 20 board MOLSON 22841 x 11421 4606 VIKING 22816 x 11408 4613 ALKIE 22501 x 11251 4687 KELLY 22419 x 11209 4707 TIGER 22306 x 11153 4733 OLE JR 22298 x 11149 4735 JARVIS 22285 x 11143 4738 WORD 22228 33342 34 ROCKET 18404 x 9202 5654 MADDOG 16739 x 8369 6048 COITUS 15406 x 7703 6362 RK 2750 x 1375 9350
I was sure Dave answered 5 but maybe he switched when Bill did. I don't know what The Regulars did. With enough boards they could cover every answer but I expect they weren't sure or they would have picked more as a group. Congrats to ELVIS and WORD.
