We’ll Take “Things We Don’t Know” for $100
by kexp - 04/10/09Trivia was a fun time and a good stretch of the grey matter. KEXP was lean and mean, three strong, but ready to take on the most challenging questions.
Jack impressed us all by knowing the height of the Space Needle. We were awarded a half point for our answer 605 feet (see below - #4) because we where a few feet within of what the “official” trivia answer was of 603 feet.
After doing a little research I confirmed that 605 feet WAS the correct answer.
I submit as proof the following websites as sources:
- http://www.seattlecenter.com
- http://www.spaceneedleinfo.com
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Needle
With that half point I believe we would have tied for third place with Frog Design.
The cartoon round was a little out of our generation range, well, other than the Schoolhouse Rock.
Color us impressed that someone from the Seattle Weekly could sing all the words for “I’m Just A Bill”!
Team KEXP couldn’t help but notice if we had more heads to glean answers from we would have rocked even harder, as the below chart illustrates:
KEXP doesn’t mind being 4th out of four teams. Thanks to the beer for helping to put things in perspective.
It’s hard to believe that next week is the Championship game. KEXP is looking forward to making a BIG comeback!

Hello, all. I was the guy responsible for putting the questions together, and I regret any mental anguish that may have been cause by my inaccurate information. It’s clear that this egregious mistake has caused not only a lack of sleep in the participants, but a shift in the space-time comtinuum, and a general karmic imbalance in the universe.
So, because I had provided an incorrect answer, I would like to remedy the situation by giving ALL teams a point for that question.
Which, in effect, means the scores are the same.
Congratulations, Squeaky Wheel. You (and everyone else who played) gets the grease.
