NTN Encore Question of January 6th, 2007.
Played at Joe Mercury's in Toronto Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with two boards as ROCKET, and LITBOX with Rob COSMO, Sean METLCA, and Phil PLBAAB who'd arrived just before the
start of this game.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...5000/5000...1st/11...my two boards win round. ..........LITBOX...5000/5000...1st/11. I went 2 for 2 in guessing. OnBeat...ROCKET...12000/14000...1st/11...my two boards co-win with METLCA and PLBAAB. ..........LITBOX...12000/14000...1st/11. 7 right and 2 wrong was OK. There hasn't been much new product released so this was a lot of news stories; some that I hadn't read before. I got help on 1 and guessed another. JukeBox...ROCKET...16475/20000...4th/11...COSMO wins round. ...........LITBOX...16494/20000...3rd/11. Triviaoke...ROCKET...22120/28000...2nd/10...LITBOX wins round. .........LITBOX...22220/28000...1st/10. I didn't take any -250s this round but had a few changes to save my scores for +200 or 300. I had help on about three answers.

Well I've eliminated '3' before the answers come back up for this pop band. That leaves four. Hmm a movie. Now the Sex Pistols had a movie or two about themselves but it wasn't called that. Phil says what the answer was and I remembered their song of that name. Yeah I would have got this in another few seconds which would have been a contrast to last week when I don't know if I would have.
Correct Answer:....4. Ramones
[NTN Extra Fact:..."End Of The Century" is also the title of a 1980 Ramones album produced by Phil Spector.]
I'm right and win as LITBOX with 33330. I finish 12th on the Network Top 20 in all North America. The bar is 11th in North America with a 31813 average. I earn 3000+ points for making this week's standard of 20000 points.
[ntn.com kept us in 11th place out of 1731 bars.]
