The next one is... interesting. Ha did we all pick the same city? I'm guessing wrong answers. Mine will be, at least, because looking up Destiny's Child tour dates sounded mind-numbing, so I just picked any city they might've played on the tour and crossed fingers 1) they actually played it and 2) it was in April '05.

There was a list and dates on Wikipedia bro.

Congrats to Captain Adkins! Thank you for ending my winning streak. It was so much pressure having to slay these peasants on a regular basis. I'm just glad I wasn't in bottom 3, so yay!!! Go me!

Congrats Captain Adkins! Second place would have been nice :( Even if I hadn't effed up on #14 you still would beat me by one point.
I'm proud of my rise from the depths to the top and eventual fall to the middle though.
Thanks again for a super fun round hotstop! <3
