NTN Encore Question of December 16th, 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. Phil keeps leaving for the Party Room upstairs because his workplace is having their Christmas party up their but he is here for the entire Playback game and the rest of the night is smuggling down food for us.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...4500/5000...1st/5...my two boards win round. ..........LITBOX...4500/5000...1st/5. I went 4 of 5 for guessing although I was confident in a few. OnBeat...ROCKET...11500/14000...2nd/5...COSMO wins round at 8 right, 1 wrong. ..........LITBOX...11500/14000...2nd/5. 7 right and 2 wrong was alright but I should have listened and I would have got one more. JukeBox...ROCKET...15522/20000...2nd/5...COSMO wins round (?) ...........LITBOX...15472/20000...3rd/5. Triviaoke...ROCKET...22076/28000...3rd/9...COSMO wins round. .........LITBOX...21992/28000...4th/9. I only took one -250 is this round and it was my fault a sank the whole group on that one. I got a lot of help in this round.

Now the Encore answers come up. That's quite a lot of variety in song titles. I don't have a lot of time to look as I've got to get up and make room for Rob just coming back to sit down. Sean knows "Turn The Page" is a Metallica song. I know the other artists/songs so let's see what it is...
Encore Question:...Guitar George is a figure mentioned in this rock recording:

I know this one before the answers come up although I don't remember seeing it as one of the choices. I start to say the lyrics which turn out to be the NTN Extra Fact.
Correct Answer:....4. Sultans Of Swing
[NTN Extra Fact:...Guitar George knows all the chords on this Dire Straits classic.]
I'm right and stay in 2nd place as ROCKET with 33114. I finish 28th overall in all North America. The bar is 12th in North America with a 32468 average. I earn 3000+ points for making this week's standard of 17000 points. COSMO wins at 34567.
The correct answer was '4' which means maybe the quiz writers are trying to 'run the board' as the last weeks the Encores have been 1, 2, 3, and now 4. I don't usually like the Encore being another Triviaoke type question but I was just glad that I knew it.
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank ntn.com rank COSMO 23045 34567 13 ROCKET 22076 33114 28 LITBOX 21992 32098 30 PLBAAB 21020 31530 50 METLCA 20095 30142 70

We had a repeat game from last week. I took over the PLBAAB abandoned board after the first question to get us a fifth board for bar score. Actually we noticed there were more perfect scores last week when the questions were new to us.
