Trivia Bowl XXVI

For the second season in a row, Team Marge made it through the quarter and semi-finals of Final Score Trivia, Maryland and competed in the Trivia Bowl today. We weren't able to field our entire team as Jason and Kate are on vacation; however, we still kicked a**. I am somewhat flumozzled to report that we tied for FOURTH PLACE! It had to go to a best of 3 tie breaker, where we were tripped up by the atomic weight of Holmium. I am so glad that i didn't realize that we were guessing that question for $250 cash as i probably would have had a heart attack. No cash for us today, but i am so pleased with fifth place as my goal was to be in the top half of the pack. Congrats and thanks to Karen, Nancy, Jason, Kate and Chris for a fun season. Maybe some day we will have our whole team present - then they'll see some serious geek power.

...how long did it take you to look that up, love?

65 seconds, give or take...
Someone actually knew the answer at the trivia bowl!? Hope it was at least multiple choice. What do those people do for fun, memorize the periodic table?
No matter, U still my fav science lady : )

It was a lightning round tie breaker, so you just had to be the closest answer.
Not that there is anything wrong with memorizing the periodic table...
