As always, a click on the picture takes you to the video….
Kevin thought, in hindsight, that this match was his best match of the tournament. We will see…..
Quick Ten: Knows his Islam, the Koran. And Bampf is in Canada. William the Conqueror and Catherine the Great too! Up 80-20 after this round.
Toss-Up 1: Nothing, zip, zilch here for Kevin and the team. Down (Down! I don’t think I’ve ever typed that!) 100-80 after this round.
Pop Quiz 1: The letters are t-r-a. Kevin gets tractor after the other guy misses with tram; gets trampoline. Doesn’t get trade. Score is 150-150.
Toss-Up 2: The team is off to a slow start on toss-ups and bonus’s. But some geography is a good cure for that, in the bonus, and then Kevin getting Ethiopia in the toss-up. Seemed to really know US General Winfield Scott marched on Mexico City was very adamant about it to Mayank. 250-150 at halftime.
Toss-Up 3: Can tell he knew it was Liberia. Think they all knew the capital, Monrovia. A big guess on the number of stars on the flag for Liberia is right too. And I remember now he was really pissed off about missing Lake Chad….didn’t like how they asked the question. Again, not the usual amount of success on toss-ups and bonus’s here. Kevin does know who Martin Lawrence is for some bonus points 350-230.
Pop Quiz 2: The letters are t-r-a again. Don’t think I’ve ever seen Mayank lose all three. Kevin gets ‘tragedy’. Does not get ‘trachea’. Does not get ‘trash’. 400-300
Toss-Up 4: Gets South Korea when the other team doesn’t give the correct answer. Again, not a whole lot of success on the bonus questions when we get the toss-ups. The Roald Dahl category was a Cpher favorite; he knew all of these questions, even the ones the kids from Eastern didn’t get. 440-330.
Lightning Round: Kevin knows Stephen Hawking….knows Greensboro is in North Carolina….and Lima is the capital of Peru. Final is 490-340.
