Third place finish tonight, just enough for a $10 cert and a few league points.
I'm finding myself a little more confident in my ability to recall facts, and sticking to them even when others disagree.
From tonight:
-I remembered Al Pacino played Big Boy Caprice in the 1990 Dick Tracy movie. A teammate tried talking me out of it, but I stuck with the answer.
-We got the order in the final question wrong. A couple people in my team were adamant that Seinfeld was the #1 rated show for 6 seasons. I disagreed, thinking it was far less and that ER dominated ratings during most of the 90s (and I was right, it was #1 for only 2 seasons). Our compromise was to bet 10 instead of 20, so we didn't drop far in the rankings and got 3rd place.
-There was a tie-breaker, which we weren't a part of, but it asked the height of Big Bird from Sesame Street in inches. My guess was 8'3" (99 inches), which was only 1" over.
