In celebration of Groundhog Day, it'll be a repeat, er Encore Presentation, of... In The Beginning and In Hollywood

I guess somebody at BT monitors Scaratings and passed it along....

Last night was the worst topic game in history. We had zero bars break 7k, yes you read that right 7k.

Couldn't have been worse than the Anime game a few years ago, which occurred during the brief period of time that Topix was in the 10-question BTT format. I answered every question legitimately trying to guess the correct answer (not purposely picking answers I thought were wrong), and ended up with about 600 total points for the game.

This one on the other hand was quite possibly the easiest Topix I can recall. There was only one tricky question - the last city Lincoln visited before his death - and even that was only very briefly tricky until you considered the proximity of his death to the end of the Civil War and his well-known conciliatory attitude to the defeated South. Under/over on perfects about 25?

Agreed. All basic info from his wikipedia page. We flubbed some points on 1 question due to slow reading. Other than that, we were perfect.

I just wanted to say that I enjoyed last Thursday's Topix on the NHL.

Just a little surprised that a team bar in Ohio would post the highest scores on this game. I used to live in Ohio (the other end, nearer to Dayton), where the Dayton Gems (of the former IHL) and Columbus Owls (same league) and Cincinnati Swords (AHL) and Stingers (WHA) all had their day and folded (need I mention the Cleveland Barons?), and where the average person's attitude toward hockey was "I like it because of the fights." Anyway, congrats to West Park for a tremendous team effort.

I expected the top scores to be dominated by Canadians; only three (one from Ontario and the other two from Alberta) topped my own score from either feed. The only two questions that really tripped me were the name of the Avalanche captain, and the name of the current official of the Lightning; on the latter question I actually started with Yzerman, but associated him too much with the Wings and jumped; definitely something I shouldn't have done. The other questions I either knew cold or was able to figure out the answer after bleeding a few points.

Was planning on playing at Adams Mill, but I had to go home right after work. Going to Adams Mill is an 18-mile drive, one-way. Hence, I played at Chicago Sams ("Rookies").
