Trivia is a great goon tradition. Every year someone shows up for the first time, profusely apologizes about how they won't be any help, then nails a question that only 1-2 other teams finds within an hour or two. It could be your turn this year!

If you can recognize C-tier Aerosmith songs from the first two seconds of their recording, if you picked up free comics on Free Comic Book Day 2015, if you're willing to look at every Lone Ranger picture ever uploaded to Facebook, if you're willing to call a Wisconsin phone number and frantically scream FOGHORN LEGHORN while a countdown goes through its last 5 seconds, or even if you're just willing to half-assedly google stuff at 3 AM Stevens Point time, we have a place for you!

Extra Trivia - Feb 16-18

Have you, for some hosed up and inane reason, thought to yourself "54 hours of trivia? Nah, I need more." Well, a few of us have signed up to play in a different contest (with sorta similar rules to the April one). We've only been doing it for a couple of years, but it's a crapton of fun.

Key things about this contest:

It runs from Friday the 16th at 5 PM (CST) to Sunday at 7 PM. It also breaks for a few hours at night, but they give these homework style projects to do over those. Last year they had us do this crime history matching worksheet, and then do a bunch of weird math.

9 questions per hour, with questions being open for varying amounts of time, and up to 4(!) questions being open at the same time

Unlimited guesses for questions, yes we're actually allowed to try again. We've gotten more than a few answers just by spamming the phones...

Speed rounds are 18 questions and usually have an audio element to them (e.g. "Who's talking in this 1 second soundbite?")

Come hang out next weekend and play some trivia.

Also if you're just kinda curious about this whole thing, we have some pictures of comparable difficulty left to find for the contest. Pop over to our discord, spend a few minutes on Google, and see if it's the kind of thing that works for you!

The contest this weekend (1) has the best music of the three contests we do and (2) is very chill and laid back compared to the contest in April. Highly recommend stopping by to vibe, even if you just want to listen to college radio and hang out for a bit.

Can't believe it's planning time already. I spent hours last year researching that Sid Caesar picture cause we were adamant about tracking down the actual sketch, couldn't find it, then the question was just straight up "Name the actor on the right." And I'll do it again!
