Went to trivia today for the first time since I think 2005 at nerdcamp, and quite likely the second time in my life. Unlike that time, I actually made a valuable contribution to the team in the following questions.
3) Determine the numerical values of the following boxes, and give the final answer. Each box represents a single digit from 0-9. (Boxes were colored, letter indicates the color of each box, and were presented as one above the other.)
11) The word "hydrosphere" describes the surface of the Earth covered by water. What is the word that describes the equivalent of land?
12) In the year 1483, the first mass was held in this place named after Pope Sixtus the Fourth.
19) This question was introduced to us as both geometry and literature. What geometric shape served as narrator in Flatland?
24) We were asked to identify the TV show for which a song was played. It was rhythmic, no lyrics, in 4/4 time, with pronounced percussion/bells on the 1st, 2nd, pick-up to 4th, and 4th beats of each measure.
( Socializing, solutions, and answers )
The End!
I may do it again. I'm still not a huge fan of trivia, but I like the socialization, and being slightly more successful than usual was nice. We got I think 18 out of 30, winners got 23 and third place got 20, so we did pretty good. Admission was $5/person and 50% of the proceeds went to a local food bank, with the rest being split between first, second, and third in some proportion. Drinks and snacks paid for the space.
Sleep forever!
