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.

This is a great warmup and an easier version of the big trivia contest. There are a bunch of opportunities to help us out here, because we don't get as many people to join as the big one. Come join us this weekend!

I probably won't be any help but I want to participate anyway. If nothing else, the radio station plays fun songs all weekend. But I have to get IRC set up on my new computer etc etc.

For example, come join me on the phones so I'm not spending 24 hours of my weekend talking to people!

I still haven't gotten over how multiple operators last year asked me if I was a solo team...

I just get "Oh, you again?"

Thanks again for all the help from everyone this year!

Along with some team-hosted trivias, I'd like to remind everyone that there's another big trivia in February, run by a college radio station in St Cloud, MN. This is a great way to get warmed up for WWSP's contest, and we've done very well even though we get a much smaller group (for example, I'm on the phones for at least 20 hours each year), getting our first top five finish this year. Make note to check in Discord or IRC around January for more details!
