Group W goes from fourth to first in 3 rounds, wins by 50 points, notches another slot on Top 10 list

Quite the contest at Dirty Frank's, where frequent quiz champs Group W came from far behind to finish unnaturally ahead. After a relatively poor showing for 3 rounds, the team notched a perfect score in the Subject round (Photography), as well as 8 of 10 in the Secret Theme round plus the theme, the only team in the room to figure it out.

Their 176 ties them with Group V (a one-off splinter team from W) for the final position on the All-Time Top Ten Scores List. Horton Heat... was this week's nom de guerre for the Lil' Roy Screamed contingent, and it was great to see Kenya finally win something.

Lots of folks joined and left the game at different parts of the night, making for a rolling list of participants. This might be the only quiz in the city where that happens so frequently.

Beautiful Gold: Group W 176
So-So Silver: Horton Heat Stole the Team 126
Shameful, Shameful Bronze: Kenya 109
