This is getting wildly interesting and off-topic at the same time.
So, bringing a minor Perl thread back into the discussion, what did
everyone think of Quizzo this year?
Abigail pointed out that once everyone started using the wavelan
connections, there were enough keywords in the questions to just go
to google in 2 seconds and continue conversations. And most teams
started getting perfect scores.
How about rephrasing the questions so you actually need to know something,
not just how to ask google? For example:
Science Fiction:
This series opens up on Trantor during the dying days of the Empire.
[Foundation]
Movies:
"Now *THAT'S* a $5 milkshake!"
[Pulp Fiction]
Music:
"In the darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair"
[Led Zeppelin, "Ramble On"]
No, these questions won't be on the quiz. :-)
Yes, there should have been a microphone this year.
Z.
