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....
