Das fängt ja gut an - Denk Mal! Quiz 2019

Bald ist das alte (Quiz-)Jahr Geschichte und bevor wir ein neues starten testen wir gleich am 3. Januar 2019 nochmal, wer 2018 aufgepaßt hat.

Traditionell ist das erste Quiz im neuen Jahr eine Rückblende auf Ereignisse, Personen, Trends, Musik und assorted bullshit die im alten Jahr Schlagzeilen gemacht haben (basically die 'current affairs' Runden der letzten 20 Quizzes).

Wer nicht immer dabei war oder aus Alters- oder anderen Gründen die Hälfte schon wieder von der internen Festplatte ausgelagert oder überschrieben hat, der braucht sich nur die derzeit üblichen Jahresrückblicke anschauen oder durchlesen, oder einfach mal die 2018er Wikipedia-Seiten überfliegen.
Die Quiz Champions League geht dann am 17. Januar in die 4. Runde.

Wer am 3. Januar dabei sein möchte sollte sich am besten in der Denkmal Lounge einen Tisch sichern. Natürlich gibt's auch im neuen Jahr wieder Extra-Punkte zu ergattern. Die Vorhersage der Woche bringt bis zu 8 Punkte und dieses Mal habt ihr die Wahl zwischen Fußball von der Insel und Skispringen.

➡️ Vierschanzentournee

Sagt die ersten 3 Plätze beim Neujahrsspringen in Garmisch-Partenkirchen UND die größte Weite (+/- 5 Meter) voraus. Einsendeschluß 1. Januar 12 Uhr.

➡️ Insel-Fußball

sucht euch 4 Spiele aus und sagt die Ergebnisse vorher. Einsendeschluß sind die jeweiligen Anstoßzeiten.

Ho ho ho --- Merry Quizmas 2018

Es weihnachtet sehr und wie in jedem Jahr ist es Zeit für das letzte Quiz des alten Jahres. Und wie in jedem Jahr ist Quizmas, Wilde oder nicht, eine bunte Mischung aus festlichen Fragen, reindeer and other games, sweets & drinkies und wundervoller Weihnachtsmusik (außer Last Christmas).
Wer Lust hat auf Weihnachts-Quiz-Party der möge sich schnell noch einen Tisch in der Denkmal Lounge sichern. Natürlich kann man am Abend noch spontan dazu kommen, allerdings sind dann bunte Teller und Teilnahme an bestimmten Spielereien nicht garantiert denn ich bereite mich aus Zeitgründen nur auf die angemeldeten Teams vor.

Die teilnehmenden Teams dürfen noch bis Mittwoch 22 Uhr 5 weihnachtsbezogene Fragen (samt richtiger Antworten) einreichen, die dann aus der Weihnachtsmannmütze gezogen werden und einige garantierte Punkte mit sich bringen.
Anzugsordnung wie immer, Santa hats, Rudolph antlers und andere festliche Dekorationen sind gern gesehen (und werden u.U. wohlwollend honoriert)
Ho ho ho....

Nach dem Quiz ist vor dem Quiz ... DMQ#15 & DMQ#16 (und POTW)

We end season 18 of our Quiz Champions League this Thursday, with CannonBallZ looking like sure-fire champs (there are only so many miracles left in this world).. Any team, old or newbie, is welcome to try and at least take the victory on Thursday, so that BallZ might not get too big for their boots ;)

On 1 November we start with the new Quiz Champions League season, open for all who want to take their chance of grabbing that trophy and bragging to friends, colleagues or family. The next dates are 15 November, and probably 22 November as well.

If you are game, and want to give the Championes a good run for their money, or if you just want to have some fun, do phone Denkmal Lounge to book your table. Number is in the right-hand column (as are the general rules and details, and our email addy). If you have any questions do send a mail (I'll try to answer in timely fashion) or join our merry band of queops over in the FB group Brains in Berlin.
