Every year, the world's largest trivia contest is held in Stevens Point, WI. It is being held this weekend.
This is not an ordinary contest, this is for the hard-core. Last year, over 12,000 people flocked to Stevens Point to participate. Teams are formed, with no size limit. There is a $30.00 entry fee per team.
The contest runs for 54 hours straight over the weekend, with questions being asked on the campus radio station, at a clip of 8 questions per hour. Answers need to be tracked down within the next 2 songs played, and called in by a member of the team, using a team password to identify themselves.
THESE QUESTIONS ARE NOT EASY!!!
