The first place team also had an old woman named Barb who had been on Jeopardy.
The other top team was one man.
But we kept coming back. We kept the same five core members but tried a bunch of people for our sixth. Eventually we got a woman who was legitimately a genius. She got a law degree as a teenager, but she also knew more about 90s gangsta rap than the rest of us. She once complimented me by calling me a polymath, which I immediately undermined by asking what a polymath was.
We also studied. I was always good at music, but my wife practiced and got good. My sister didn’t start with a specialty, so she took a little time every week to keep up on current events and pop culture. I studied Shakespeare. We didn’t always get first, but we were always contenders.
We became friends with the quiz master. My wife and I hired him to host trivia at our first baby shower.
