Awards

Biggest Question: 460 points which we didn't get. We were only 5 tv or radio shows away from the answer to this audio trivia asking the names of the 23 tv or radio shows in the sound clips. We had a lot of fun seeing how many we could get. Biggest Question answered by one person: 200 points "What is the Roy Rodgers Pledge to Parents as found on the package of the Roy Rogers Big Game Rifle?" Thanks to Cory Storm's major internet searching skills, this was an easy 200 points for Pull-start Diesel!
Biggest Question by TEAM effort: 200 points for the names of the 6 weapons and 9 rooms in the Simpson's edition of Clue. Too bad this was easily found on the internet because we had also placed a phone call to a friend of Murphy's who actually had the game.
Best internet searcher: This was definitely Scott. We missed him when he had to leave. Thanks Aaron, for bringing him. What sites did he use to find those answers?
Best book searcher: Lisa Imholte was very dedicated to the book efforts. We definitely need to get more points out of those books. They're heavy! : Too bad computers are so fast.
Best DVD collection: Jim Bifaro Thanks for having Toy Story 2 in your DVD library! For those of you who were wondering, Mrs. Potato Head made Mr. Potato Head pack blue playdoh, monkey chow, and a plastic steak among other things, but he drew the line at a barrel of monkeys.
Best remote player: Josh Hengemuele played from Bismark, North Dakota. We're sorry you couldn't make it this year, but glad you played with us. And you too Theresa! We enjoyed seeing your Chicago skyline. We did take a picture of the Sauk Rapids skyline and put it on the internet as you challenged.
Biggest know-it-all: Bob Craven knew the names of the two airships with the Visual Trivia 13 insignia.
Best guesser: Jerry guessed that Roseanne was the sitcom that was played on the audio trivia overdubbed in GERMAN for 145 points! As a team we were excellent guessers this year. Word-by-word we guessed the rest of this 12-word slogan on an Oregon ballot "Anyone who thinks in 12-word slogans…" Could we get a partial on "should?" We're looking for a partial on "not." We guessed so many things we're not even sure anymore, but we think it was "should not be in office."
Best phoner: Loren Ament - "You read me the names you have and I'll tell you if we have them." "Can't you just give me ONE name? We're dead last!" It worked too! They told us Hampton was one of the 24 Porkchesters figurines.
Best on the dispute line: Tonya called to dispute the answer to one question after we got the wrong answer from several sources and the dispute line told her the correct answer. We called it in for 80 points!
Worst phone bank workers: Me and Crabby both marked our team down wrong for 50 and 60 point questions. Those points would have put us in 9th place!
Best phone bank workers: Bubbles and Jenny Talia both gave us a lot of points.
Work that database: Jerry did an awesome job working the new access database that Darren created. Darren's already planning improvements he's going to make for next year.
Worst question: Why? Our answer: "Because Rick Springfield told us so." It earned us 45 points.
Best answer: To the 25 point question "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kick your ass." Because your cat's under my car tire. Because I've got a line land mine up my butt and if you kick me we'll both go. Because I've got a bad case of hemmoroids.
Worst answers: "If something goes out of whack, how do you get it back into whack?" Whack it was wrong, but they gave us credit when we said "Whack it multiple times." The official answer was "Whack it back."
Most sleep: Adam Lanz We don't know how much he slept, but chances are it was much longer than any of us. Don't they have siestas in Costa Rica?
Least sleep: Sara McKeever with a grand total of 2 hours all weekend. Sorry Jerry, you need to tell someone trustworthy to wake you up.
Best sleeping position: Three way tie between Jerry - we've got a nice picture of him in a very tight fetal position, Tonya - Ooooh, her neck's going to be sore, Tommy - hugging Darren's alarm clock.
Longest distance traveled to come to trivia: Bob and Jerry from North Dakota.
Best team improvement: The projector was SO awesome to have. We can credit it with at least 5 places. We've got to thank Cory Storms and Kathy Kockler at Cathedral for letting us borrow it. We hope we can get it again next year!
Best meal: Terry and Patty Storms for the two huge, delicious hotdishes and those desserts! With an assist by Juletta Weber with fruit skewers.
Best host: Joe Even though he doesn't live at trivia headquarters, he made the house his home for several weeks helping to get set up and to take down. He helped organize things. He also helped keep everyone comfortable thanks to "Poptart Hour." Thanks for all your efforts, Joe.
