Encore Question of May 25th, 2002.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with Rob COSMO and Sean METLCA/CAPER. We haven't done that well tonight with none of us reaching 20000 points. There's not many regulars here tonight.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp....ROCKET...4500/5000...3rd/6...LITBOX and CAPER win the round with 5000 points. ...........LITBOX...5000/5000...1st/6. OnBeat...ROCKET...9750/14000...4th/8...COSMO wins round. .........LITBOX...10250/14000...2nd/8...6 right, 3 wrong wasn't too good. JukeBox...ROCKET...14121/20000...4th/9...COSMO wins round. ........LITBOX...14680/20000...3rd/9. Triviaoke...ROCKET...18834/28000...4th/10...LITBOX wins round. ..........LITBOX...19501/28000...2nd/10.
Well I should know all about these groups or so I think. I've got bookmarks with The Monkees, Temptations and Drifters.
Encore Question:...In 1963 The __________ became the first group to score three consecutive Number 1's.
.

Oh oh. I zoom in on the year. Too early for the Monkees. The Drifters were bigger a few years before 1963. I'm don't think it's the Temptations but I don't know why. I'm out of time. The Beach Boys only had four Number 1s in their entire career but I've got that one picked. I honestly don't even think about Four Seasons. Deer in the headlights!
Correct Answer:...3. Four Seasons
[NTN Extra Fact:...They shot to the top with "Sherry", "Big Girls Don't Cry", and "Walk Like A Man"].
I'm wrong and drop one place. LITBOX finishes with 9751 and ROCKET with 9417. Both my boards earn only 1500+ points for failing to meet this week's 19000 point standard. Rob COSMO wins game with 29520 points. The bar finishes 464th in North America.
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank COSMO 19680 29520 715 LITBOX 19501 x 9751 6933 METLCA 19449 x 9725 6941 ROCKET 18834 x 9417 7038 CAPER 17774 26681 1614 CRANKY 11285 x 5643 8225 WELLY 6152 x ? 9032 COITIS 2877 x 1439 ? SILLY 1852 x 1667 ? PIKAJO 1379 x 1103 ? OHYA 1363 x 681 9785
I vow to stop bringing my book. It hurt me as much as it's helped and I haven't needed it the last few months. Only 100 people got more than 20000 points in this game. I was upset because I knew the answer. I had listened to the Four Seasons two greatest hits CDs in the last year and their first three singles were #1's. Some posters to the Playback message board complained that they had a Christmas hit in between but I wouldn't have let that cloud my answer.
Other games:...I start the evening with 1,967,300 points for ROCKET and 231,500 for LITBOX.
