What: a battle of the wits
Where: the YWS chat
When: This Monday-Friday at 4:00 EST PM / 3:00 CST
Why: in honor of our birthday
Come support your side in a test of intelligence (and how well you can look up stuff on Google
). At the time listed above, I will be hosting the YWS Birthday Quiz Shows which will pit the supporters of monkeys versus supporters of dragons.
There'll be a separate room from the lounge, so hopefully there will be less interruptions. If you're on the monkeys team, I ask that you turn your chat color to green and if you're on the dragons team please turn your chat color to red. That way I can differentiate between teams for scoring purposes.
Each night I will have fifteen questions (not multiple choice) that any member can type in as quickly as they can. The majority of questions will be about literature, with some other stuff mixed in. Spelling counts! We are the YWS after all, and I think it is the only fair way to settle any disputes.
So make sure you come support your side. Who will win the battle of the wits: dragons or monkeys?
Some ground rules:
1. You may look up things online. In fact, most of the questions I wrote are geared toward being a little harder so people might have to look them up unless you might know the answer off the top of your head, in which you have an advantage.
2. Spelling counts. You're allowed to look things up, so spelling shouldn't be a problem. That way I shouldn't have any issues with answers that might be considered correct, but are spelled way off.
3. When I ask for the name of a person or book, I need the full name.
