Last Tuesday, 8 May, Freddie and I participated in the Lincoln Rotary Schools’ Quiz at Lincoln University. After a tasty meal, the quiz began. There were 4 rounds of 10 questions each.
Before the quiz, each school had submitted 12 questions, ranging from the results of the last Crusaders game to the Periodic Table. Four of each of the schools’ questions were included in the quiz.
After the first round we were in 4th place. We got 8 points out of 10. After the 2nd round, we were in second place with Prebbleton still leading. Before the last round, Prebbleton and us were tied in 1st place. After the last round, we knew we had 8 points out of 10, but we didn’t know if we had beaten Prebbleton.
They announced the placings: “In 3rd place Halswell on 29 points. In 2nd place, Prebbleton on 30 points. In 1st place, Springston on 32!” We won a $50 book voucher for the school and $30 in Whitcoulls vouchers for ourselves.
Some sample questions:
- What is the first element in the periodic table?
- What year did Abel Tasman discover NZ?
- What is the largest organ in the human body?
