The final quiz of the year came on an unseasonably (and pleasantly) cool day compared with the heat and humidity of December so far in Buenos Aires, and it was the cool heads of Picada Grande who took first place, closely followed by Santa Empties His Sack Once a Year in second. I’ve been bad at getting scores and photos up this year, so also in this post are all the scores from the August, September, October and November quizzes. I promise to be better at doing this next year … oh, and for news of the 2017 Buenos Aires Pub Quiz Championship winners, keep your eyes peeled for a separate post.
