The Freaky Pandas had a great come from behind victory on Thursday night at the weekly trivia challenge at Brown's Tavern.
After a perfect first round we had dropped a number of spots by the end of the third. The final question asked which U.S. city was the first to host the summer olympics. Logic only took back as for as Los Angeles in '84 and into the 60's when we couldn't name another U.S. host.
But the Freaky Panda tactics kicked in. We knew that if the answer was L.A. we didn't have a chance of catching up because too many people would get it. Instead, we went with a hunch on St. Louis and bet all 33 points.......and won!!! First place with 66 points followed by a second place with only 34; nobody else got the right answer.
We stayed around for autographs after the event but the only thing we were asked to sign was the credit card receipt.
