Each year, our local college radio station hosts the World’s Largest Trivia contest as a fundraiser for the college radio station. What makes it the Largest? It is 54 hours of questions, music and fun with over 500 teams participating. Questions on movies, TV shows, commercials, literary works, music, classic radio programs… etc.
The contest begins 6:30 pm (CST) on Friday April 7 and runs through Midnight Sunday April 9. Most hours have 8 questions, with 2 songs between each question to call in your team’s answer. There are also 3 music questions which are ‘snippits’ of 8 songs strung together. You are required to determine the song title of the 8 songs (or as many as you can get). These are released throughout the contest and need to be turned in at the station. There are also pictures that need to be identified found in the rules and info book called the Trivia Times. Correctly answering these questions, or completing the tasks gains the team points.
Answers to questions can be found on the Internet, in books, magazines, movies or that crazy stuff you just remember and wonder why. Some teams (top 50) actually assign members TV shows to watch and movies to take notes on. We are not that serious- I already have a hobby that consumes most of my time (Star Wars). We do take the occasional note here and there. We also set up a computer network with 5-8 computers to do web searches and fill the living room with reference books. Our goal the past few years has been to finish in the top 100. We’ve been hit and miss.
So why am I telling you about it? I’d like your help!
Become a member of one of the Bothan Spy Groups if you are not already to gain access to the Group Forum (as we do not want answers to become general knowledge).
You can help identify the pictures in the Trivia Times. These will be posted April 3 or 4. I will place link in the Group Section with the pictures and instructions. . (We actually get time to do research on these.)
You can help identify the Music Snippits. During the contest I will post a link to each of the music segments with a time it needs to be turned in.
You can also tune in via the web. I will post a link to access the web stream so you can listen in on the contest (REAL Media Player Required). There is a slight delay on the web. Perhaps we can hook up via an instant message service like Yahoo or ICQ for those who would like to participate this way.
