Trivia heartbreak
Yesterday was the final week of this season of trivia. We came into the night with a solid lead over our nearest adversaries. With this confidence, we expected to CRUSH the competition and win another $500 gift certificate to Sheffield's. However, our dreams were shattered when a very suspicious team (read 'cheaters') had an unbelievable round. Out of a maximum of 35 points for this night, our team held 2nd place with 19 points. The other (cheating) team, got 27 points. This was enough to force us into a wild season deciding tie breaker. After tying the initial extra round, the cheaters offered to split the prize with us, to which we replied "We think you cheat, and we're not going to reward you for it." Sure enough, we lost in a music-heavy double over time. Below are all of the questions we missed by round.
Regulation:
1. How many humans have walked on the moon?
2. Who was the Prime Minister of Italy that recently resigned amidst political pressure and litigation stemming from a prostitution scandal?
3. Who was the only US President to be sworn in by his own father?
Music
4. "Wanna Be a Baller" - Lil' Troy
5. "Surfin' Bird" - The Trashmen
6. "Tarzan Boy" - Baltimora
7. "More Than Words Can Say" - Alias

8. Justin Verlander's recent Cy Young was a unanimous vote. How many previous Cy Young winners have been a unanimous vote?
9. Paul Mitchell is known for his line of hair products, what other non-cosmetic company does he own?
Music
10. "I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T" - Webbie
11. "Heaven" - Warrant
Overtime #2
12. What is the name of the Arizona state Senator that is the leading figure in the anti-immigration laws being passed there?
13. What is the legal name of late rapper Heavy D?
14. This Golden State Warrior set a record in 1991 for attempting 17 field goals and missing all of them.
15. How many Oscar awards did the film "Crash" win?
16. How many years did Nelson Mandela spend in prison?
17. Michigan has the most wins in College football history. What program has the second most wins?
Music

I think there were more music questions that we missed, but I did not have space to write them down.
Good Luck!
