Adapted from a round I devised as pub quiz host at Stetsons Bar in D.C., this is a round style I do to finish off each trivia night (and so does LipinskiB, ever since he joined me as alternating host in 2014). It has no real name - some regulars call it the cascade round, some the waterfall round, or maybe the linked general knowledge round - or you can just call it the EtebariM round, whatever. The premise is simple: Each answer leads into the following question, so you can work backwards and forwards along the question chain. It makes for some vague and potentially convoluted questions at times, which can make it infuriating or rewarding. On this particular quiz, only one team got a perfect score (and it included an A-Rundle champ and his very skilled teammates), so I don't anticipate solo players to get 12/12. But I'm curious how this will work in a 1DS format, particularly the moneying choices people will make. Anyway, enjoy this experiment! And of course, don't play if you were one of the LLamas at Stetsons on July 7. You know who you are, and more importantly, I know who you are.

1. This OFFICE’s roots date back to an order by the Continental Congress on July 26, 1775, which promised $1000 per year to its director, whom it ordered to create a network from Falmouth, Maine, to Savannah, Georgia.
2. In 2003, the answer to number 1 issued a later-withdrawn cease and desist letter to a band who named one of the songs on its only album after this ACTOR, with lyrics expressing a desire to kiss like he did on screen.
This MOVIE was not only the final film appearance of the answer to number 2, but also of Marilyn Monroe.
In addition to being the name of a fictional band, the answer to number 3 is also the name of a punk band who broke up in 1983, freeing its leader to eventually found this eponymous BAND.
Situated at the mouth of the Motlawa River with a population just under half a million, the answer to number 4 has been officially known predominantly by this name since 1945.
In 1308, the answer to number 5 was taken over in a bloody campaign by the order of crusader knights known by this ADJECTIVE.
Although the answer to number 6 is sometimes used to refer to a wide group of northern European historic and modern peoples, its root refers to a people that an ancient map by Ptolemy said lived on this PENINSULA.
The two largest cities on the answer to number 7 start each start with these TWO LETTERS (their nation’s largest city is on a nearby island).
The answer to number 8 forms the IATA code for this AIRLINE.
The largest hub for the answer to number 9 is in this US AIRPORT, as the airline is headquartered in one of the cities the airport is named for.
When it opened in 1974, the answer to number 10 largely replaced a nearby airport whose name inspired this NYSE STOCK SYMBOL for an airline headquartered there.
Pluralize the answer to number 11, and you have the name of a Procter and Gamble brand that serves as a companion brand to this other P&G BRAND that specializes in the same product.
