NTN Encore Question of February 25th, 2006.
Played at the Frog & Firkin in North York Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with two boards as ROCKET and LITBOX with Rob COSMO, Sean METLCA and Phil PLBAAB.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...4000/5000...2nd/6...COSMO and MADDOG co-win round. ..........LITBOX...4000/5000...2nd/6. I went 2 for 4 in guessing...I don't usually 'not know' that many answers in this round. OnBeat...ROCKET...12000/14000...2nd/6...the five of us go 8 for 9 to co-win round. ..........LITBOX...12000/14000...2nd/6. 8 right and 1 wrong is great. Thanks to Rob for three of these answers. JukeBox...ROCKET...17152/20000...3rd/6...LITBOX wins round. COSMO is in lead. ...........LITBOX...17174/20000...2nd/6. Triviaoke...ROCKET...21672/28000...4th/6...PLBAAB wins round. .........LITBOX...21711/28000...2nd/6. I took only one -250 this round but about two for less than 200 points.

Now the Encore answers come up. If it's songs than I should be able to get this.
Encore Question:...Which classic rock group found inspiration and kindness on the road to "Shambala"?:

Pretty easy. Rob calls it out before the answers come back on display. I can back him up because I own the group's greatest hits collection. I started hearing that song the year after I got my first radio.
Correct Answer:....1. Three Dog Night
[NTN Extra Fact:...Shambala is the name of a mythical Buddhist kingdom beyond the Himalayas.]
I'm right and stay in 2nd with LITBOX at 32566. I finish 33rd in all North America. The bar is 7th in North America with a 32612 average. I earn 3000+ points for making this week's standard of 18000. Phil wins as PLBAAB with 34886 and is 13th on the Network Top 20 and 4th on this bar's Hall of Fame. [NTN.com kept us in 7th place out of 1977 bars].
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank ntn.com rank PLBAAB 22924 34386 13 40 LITBOX 21711 32566 33 81 COSMO 21708 32562 34 82 ROCKET 21672 32508 35 84 METLCA 20695 31042 63 120 MADDOG 9689 14533 485 1957 [NTN.com listed 8375 players]
