Guys, I'm in Portland for a conference. I played pub trivia tonight. Something happened.

I was hoping some friends would join me, but no one showed up. I got ditched. It's the same pub trivia franchise that I play back home, so I knew the format. I figured I'd stick around and give it a go.
There were about 8 teams. There are 8 rounds. 8 points per round. They announce scoring after round 3 and round 7. After the first scoring was announced, I was in last place. After the second scoring was announced, I was in the middle of the pack. At the end, I was tied for first. Time for thunder dome! Sudden death. 5 questions. Whoever gets more right wins. It's me... and another guy playing solo. We both get the same number of questions right! One more question, Big Brother style. Guess a number. Whichever is closer wins. How many words in Les Miserables? I guess 285,000. It's more like 500,000. But he guessed 20,000.
I. Won.
Prize is a $25 gift card to a pub I'm never going to visit again.

P.S. There were four bonus rounds where the first person with the correct answer wins. I got #1. I was too slow on #2 and #3. I got #4. Each round earns you a $5 gift card. I gave both cards away. The second time, it was to the guy who I had to face at the end (I beat him by a hair in the bonus round so I felt bad).
