Vögelflöten, fiki faka & viel fun oder GET SOME NUTS!!! - WQ#143

Gee, almost forgot in all that WChaos... Thanks all for a massively marvellous night last Thursday (that includes you, Chile and Spain) - it was just the right mix of Fragen and Fußball before the mini summer break.

Graces won by almost 20 points, Quizzicals got the elsusive 2nd 2nd, Mad Professors moved up 2 places and now we know how massive chocolate bars are made. Yum.
This week King Football reigns supreme so we (all) meet again on Thursday 3 July. Only 3 games left in the Champions League and so far it looks as if the old champions will be the new champions. Then again, that didn't go so well for other old champions, eh Spain? Anyway... suspenssssssssssssse!
Prediction of the week or some other way of making extra points for #144 will be up here as soon as I've thought of something, we still have 10 days. Watch this space (or the fb group).

As mentioned before, WQ#144 will have the annual America, Fuck Yeah!!! (USA/Canada-themed) round and the promised Football World Cup Now&Then round. P&A have the rest and I already have a neat new mystery object. With video :D

Have 2 lovely World Cup weeks, see you in July :D

Hidden Dragons, hideous dugongs & Das spielen wir garantiert NIE wieder - WSQ #142

After last week's mayhem, another fun night en famille. And another early finish... we're getting there :D
Though points in general were low, most teams made good on last week's total. Now Fietscherings and Quizzicals have the prerequisite 6 games and can start working on their .. Ausrutscher :D
The end of CL season 10 is getting nigh-ish... only 4 games left. Can Fietscherings topple the Championes? (who, incidentally, got nuts in one round last night :D)
P&A have Yogi and I look forward to your - brilliant - choices. NO molecular biology please, and NO MORE boy bands. Ever :)















As for the summer future of our little puzzle night - we definitely have WQ#143 on WEDNESDAY 18 June. Looks like a fun one too, judging by the teams :)
We might have to start a few minutes late, depending on how many Aussie and Dutch football fans we have to remove from the back bar and how much clean-up time is needed.
BTW - 3 July is Football World Cup Round, and AMERICA!!!!! Round (Canada & USA).

















So - see you Wednesday, freu ma schon - have a lovely (not too) warm weekend and World Cup week till then.

Quasimodo, medieval mysteries & mayhem - WSQ#141

Quick round-up of WQ#141 because I'm actually already on holidays. Well, long weekend.
Quite the unexpected turnout last night, we haven't had a FULL full house for a while.. and ever so slightly chaotic but there will be a few changes soon, to some rules and other details.
Anyroad, it was fun.. and the Champions League race is wide open again
Points on the night looked as follows:

1. Fietscherings*** 99,5
2. DAQ**** 83
3. Let's Get Quizzical 79,5
4. Amazing Graces* 76
5. Any Random Team 70
6. The Mad Professors 70
7. Hertie 67
8. Pünktchen & Arno 66,5
9. Agatha Quizty 63,5
10. ExPat Benetars 57,5
11. Noobs 54,5
12. Guapachosas y Mariachis 43,5
13. Boys from the Corner 42
14. Erbarme, die Hesse komme 42

Corner Boys have (chosen) Yogi for WQ142.

CL table after 7 games:


























And - for reasons that were obvious last night - ONE MORE TIME. Book your table, even though it's summer and World Cup. And do that by calling Oscar Wilde (Mon-Thu AFTER 4pm otherwise you'll get the cleaning lady and I don't know where your reservations end up). PLEASE DO NOT send me text messages, mails, or fb messages - I'm not back until Tuesday and have no idea what other reservations go in the book in the meantime. If you wait till late, or turn up without reservation, chances are you won't get in at all. We have 6 tables left for next week which means that there is DEFINITELY a quiz on Wednesday 11 June.
And at  it looks as if we might have a quiz on Wednesday 18 June too, so far we have 4 teams and might get  at least another 2.

Based on the slighty loud and crowded affair that was WSQ#141, a few .. Anmerkungen. While the whole Wilde Quiz is meant to be entertainment first and foremost, we need to reduce the noise. Not only does it pee me off if I have to shout all night, your neighbours will also be cross with you if they can't understand the questions due to your partying. That goes for newbies as well as oldies (Quizzicals, you, last night... ;)
Also, if you are more than 7 people in the team you will have to take 2 tables. Otherwise it gets very cramped for the neighbours, especially if they turn up with a full team too.
There will be changes to the rules as soon as I'm back from hols.



















Till then - schöne Pfingsten, see you (soon)
