OnBeat...ROCKET...11500/14000...1st/7...our five boards win round with 8 right, 1 wrong. ..........LITBOX...11500/14000...1st/7...Rob got us two answers. I'm quite pleased with this and am back up to a decent score...two questions about the SuperBowl entertainment last week. JukeBox...ROCKET...16624/20000...1st/10...ROCKET wins round. ...........LITBOX...16581/20000...2nd/11...Rob got us two of these. Past Grammy winners were four of the questions.

I'm right and win as ROCKET with 31089. I finish 31st overall for all North America. The bar is 11th in North America with a 30754 average. I earn 3000+ points for making this week's standard of 20000.
