Another skill testing question

The second biggest beer drinking activity we imported from Britain,
right after fighting and passing out, is the pub quiz. It’s more a
civilized, cerebral form of combat performed in teams. Everyone knows
teamwork increases your trivia response rates and collective IQ. Teams
increase beer consumption, too.

Basically, the pub quiz is a great way for bars to bring in people
on a slow night and drive them to drink beer out of sheer boredom.
Anyway, Mr and Mrs Know-it-alls, the Rogues Roost (5435 Spring
Garden) has a popular trivia night on Wednesdays. It starts at 10pm but
tables fill up quickly, so arrive early. The Colby Ale House (920 Cole Harbour Road) holds them on Tuesdays (the answer is always
Sidney Crosby). Pogue Fado‘s (1581 Barrington) trivia night is
on Tuesdays and apparently, it’s jam-packed as well.
