"The theme is torture that should be given to those who cheat on quizzes," Mark, the bulky quiz master said. "That will be the name of your team." We decided our team of two would be Exile.
We were at the pub around the corner, The Inverleith, from where we are staying in Edinburgh for the second time. It was Rick's first pub quiz.
It was rather crowded but we found a seat. We knew we were at a disadvantage because larger teams would have more knowledge, especially of things like local sports and music. As for TV we have seen enough British TV to have a fighting chance, except that category never came up. Nor did sports. Whew.
The first ten questions were about movies. Easy Peasy the first three questions. Then it got a little more difficult. Our results were acceptable.
Then came music -- 10 for 10 -- blank.
Science as slightly better and thank goodness for Art and Literature.
All in all it could be worse. We came in second, from last.
But we had lots of fun. We'll do it again sometime, some where.
