Team Trivia Winners, December 16, 2009

Congratulations to team Vandelay Industries!



Here are some of the questions answered by our intrepid trivia fans this past Wednesday:

From the Acronyms round: What does FUBU (the name of a clothing line) stand for?

From the Classic Drinks round: What, aside from Scotch, is the other alcohol ingredient in a Rusty Nail?

From the Insects round: In what phylum is the cockroach?

From the Sushi Terminology round: If you order Surimi, what will you be receiving?

From the Founding Fathers round: Which Founding Father said, "A Spoonful of Honey will catch more Flies than a Gallon of Vinegar"?

For the bonus question, teams were asked to list all of the Dr. Seuss books that have rhyming words in their titles (Yertle the Turtle, Hop on Pop, Fox in Socks, etc.)


Frank Chang initiated this. Whee!

There are only two more Chelsea Mind Games on the calendar for 2009 (or, at all, actually) -- after this, you'll have to find your own forum for intellectually dominating others and/or hitting on smart people.
