The Good, The Bad & The Ugly:

The good - buzztime finally came up with a new Headliner

The bad - buzztime coded the wrong answer on Q6 of the Headliner, which killed 20k off of everyone's scores

The ugly - only 5 bars got the Encore question correct. The question was certainly fair game, it was a simple lyrics question. But though the song was a worldwide hit, it only peaked at #29 in America. So that's why just about everyone tanked it on this side of the pond.

Cmon, you know that the most you can lose on one question is 12750 (assuming you get 10 of 11 right at the end and wager 50%).

As lame as Q6 was, Money Money Money working title is Gypsy Woman, from what I can tell it was correctly programmed at our bar. When researching Abba I noticed a lot of their songs had "working titles", but I didn't bother trying to remember any of them. The one for Money Money Money was particularly obscure, but I found a few references on it after the fact.

Nice job from Maryland bar for surviving the carnage....

Are you sure they coded the "wrong" answer?

Funny thing is after the game, I did a Google search on my phone using the words "ABBA" and Gypsy Girl paired together, and the song Money Money Money did come up. Now, if you want to argue that NTN went out of their way to come up with an obscure and incredibly difficult question for #6 to wreck everyone's scores, well, that I won't argue about. The usual places (besides wikipedia) that I'd use to "refresh my memory" about certain details in a particular artist or group's career did not have that fact.

Not sure what bothers me more......that we had a great going except for missing two key questions (Yeah, we totally blew the final, too), or the fact that NTN scheduled this game while our biggest ABBA fan had to work as a basketball coach on this night. Nicely played, NTN.

Where'd you get that at? I don't doubt you... but I thought the question said what's the subtitle to the song Money Money Money. There doesn't officially appear to be one, but Rich Man's World is mentioned a dozen or so times in the song.
