Encore Question of November 27, 1999.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York.
Answers:
Tonight I'm in the lead by a small amount having held the lead since the OnBeat round. I'm playing with Richard BERGIE and Bill MADDOG. I was eight right/one wrong in OnBeat although I didn't have much time for current affairs having passed a driver's test earlier this week and ordering a new computer while at a consumer show earlier today. (I can't remember now May 2000 but I'm sure I had a lot of help).
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp....4000/5000...1st/11...7 way tie for 1st with BERGIE and the Regulars group. OnBeat...11750/14000...1st/11...I win this round but a big group has 10500. JukeBox...17653/20000...1st/11...VIKING wins round. Triviaoke...25094/28000...1st/11...KELLY wins round.
The Encore answers are all soul singers. These quiz writers like Al Green so I flip my music book to that. With 50% on the line:
Question:...Which R & B star scored the 1972 film "Trouble Man"?
I don't know this right off and squint to find it's not Al Green. I take far too long. Running out of time. "Wait! I say, "it can't be Sam Cooke he'd died already". Ok I put in Ray Charles.
Correct Answer:...3. Marvin Gaye
[NTN extra fact:...The dark title track was a Top 10 hit for Gaye].
I'm wrong and drop to 5th in the bar. I finish with 12547 points which is 5654th in North America. I earn only 1500 Players Plus points for missing this week's 21000 point standard. The bar is 9th in North America with a 27072 average. KELLY wins with 36684.
I could have found this in my book directly as it has a section of soundtracks. I'll have to remember that for another time.
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank ROCKET 25094 x 12547 5654 KELLY 24456 36684 6 3rd on Top 20 Network Board MADDOG 22712 34068 39 MOLSON 22407 33611 645 VIKING 22407 x 11203 6119 BERGIE 22403 x 11201 6120 JARVIS 21766 x 10883 6230 TIGER 19941 x 9971 6546 PJ 14636 21954 2396 JAG 14216 x 7108 7538 KEELEE? 5363 x 2681 9071 LFJ 3313 x 1657 9426 LIFE 3222 x 2900 8995 VOODOO 1205 x 964 9480 ?someone who left? 9666
