Oscars at the Oscar's - WQ#219

First things first, Wilde Quiz #218 was the most fun in a long time, largely due to the big but very well-behaved and most knowledgable crowd we've seen this year. We look forward to seeing some of the 'newbies' again for WQ#219.. do make it a habit :)

BallZ joined forces with 4-2-Won... and won, And generously donated their Champions League points to 4-2-Won who climbed up to #2 in the CL table. For now.

1. 4-2-BallZ 88,5
2. Amazing Graces* 87,5
3. Fietscherings***** 85
4. P2P 75
5. Pünktchens 71
6. Professional Monkey Feeders 68
7. Angela’s Ankles 67
8. Schmidteinander 62,5
9. Fröbel Röbel 55,5
10. Frozen Mushrooms 51,5
11. Team Moloko 41

Wilde Quiz #219 on 2 March is now fully booked. There is a waiting list in case someone cancels - if you want on it, send us a mail to quiz_miz@hotmail.com.

Prediction of the week in a separate post, or in the FB group.

Looking forward to WQ#219 with cover versions, Oscars trivia, naked facts, Fasching, and viel fun.

Von A(lternative Facts) bis Z(itate)... and almost everything inbetween... plus Grammy songs, puzzling pics - WQ#218

Now that BAFTAs and GRAMMYs have been won (or at least handed out) it's time to return to the Wilde Quiz title race... round 3 (WQ#218) is up on Thursday 16 February and we are now FULLY BOOKED/AUSGEBUCHT.

It will be interesting to see who takes the third win of the season. Can Fietscherings make it a treble of century breaks? With DAQ absent again and BallZ missing their S04 core, can Pünktchens prevail, Graces go for gold, or 4-2-Won win? With new quiz-savvy teams joining us the game, Mrs. Hudson, is definitely on...
