The Bar Serves Coffee, Too
Happy new year, everyone! We got polar vortex’d the whole time we were back in the United States for the holidays, so it was nice to return to a relatively tropical Danish winter. We enjoyed quizzing with you at Søhesten all the way through 2022 - and last night we had 21 teams get the 2023 quiz season off to a great start.
In the year’s first quiz, you disproved the existence of ghosts with a friendly reminder to check your furnace, decided it was Morbin time after all, and promptly forgot about Osiris. Since many of you are Cool Young People, you also dominated our list of EDM bangers that everyone will be listening to when they get around to going to the gym that one time in January.
Despite late joiners showing up and trying to snatch their crown, Hebo Witch took the last place prize by demonstrating their impeccable sportsmanship and enthusiasm for Scandinavian liquids. Kippis nailed the most average spot by showing off their ability to get nearly exactly 51.4 points, which is a neat party trick. At the top, Trump’s Accounting Team picked up third place despite asking us to give them 11,780 more points, Zolene rode to second place with their encyclopedic knowledge of hats, and the ViQueens took on a friendly solo player looking for a team with the knowledge they needed to jump to a first place berth.
The rest of you had your best games of the entire year. Here’s the board for Week 1:
1 . ViQueens 67
