NTN Encore Question of January 26th, 2008.
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...5000/5000...1st/6...my two boards and METLCA win round with 5000. ...........LITBOX...5000/5000...1st/6. OnBeat...ROCKET...13000/14000...1st/6...my two boards and METLCA win at 8 for 9. ..........LITBOX...13000/14000...1st/6...I needed help with two answers. I had been at a financial trade show today so didn't have time to sign on to the internet for last minute news. JukeBox...ROCKET...18952/20000...1st/6...my two win round. ...........LITBOX...18952/20000...1st/6. Triviaoke...ROCKET...20270/28000...1st.6...METLCA wins round. ...........LITBOX...20270/28000...2nd/6...I take one -250 scores this round and needed help on some others. The 'new' song in question 8 was by Britney Spears and I saw the video within the last few days and the title was the correct answer! I've got a great score going into the Encore.

This looks very familiar. I know it right away because I'm sure they've asked this before. [Yes, it was the Encore on August 14th, 2004]. I've either read through my own archive and saw it recently or they used this question in a JukeBox round or game. We're in right away.
Correct Answer:....5. Lisa Loeb
[NTN Extra Fact:...The single was "Stay" and it first appeared on the Reality Bites soundtrack.]
I'm right and win as ROCKET with 38409. I finish 2nd on the Network Top 20 for all North America. The bar is 2nd in North America with a 36027 average. I earn 3000+ points for making this week's standard of 17000. I place #1 on this bar's Hall of Fame.
(ntn.com keeps us in 2nd place out of 2002 bars).
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank ntn.com rank ROCKET 25606 38409 2 7 LITBOX 25587 38380 3 8 METLCA 25412 38118 4 9 COSMO 22246 33369 13 37 PLBAAB 21240 31860 15 59 GORDO 8178 x 4089 10000 5076 (ntn.com lists 9678 players)
Other games:...I started the evening with ROCKET at 3,855,500+ Player's Plus points and LITBOX at 1,556,000+.

I have a lot of help this game but I get the Simpson's question because of knowing the basic plot of the book 'Lord of the Flies'.

.............LITBOX...13429/15000...3rd/5...1000+ points...I'm 380th in NA...bar is 10th in NA with a 13474 average.
I missed the second pass of scores but know I was 4xx in rank.
