Seattlest Trivia Night-- 09/05/06 (Tie)

For the first time in the seventeen-year history of Seattlest trivia night, there was a first.

Never before has a last place walked away from the quiz without Old Pequilar-donated swag. However, due to a tie for last place, one final question decided which one of the two losers would win a shirt, a hat, some flip flops, a frisbee and kite. In the end a next-to-last winner was declared, and both teams returned to their seats.

As for the winner, well, there was another tie.

The tension mounted as a representative from newcomer Pomona and shameless rip-off team Brown the Town Paint met to decide who would take home $100 and who would get $20.

(Drumroll please)

Final Standings, questions, and typos galore after the jump. The answers will be posted later today.
