Frequently Asked Questions

How can I play Trivia?

- Come to trivia headquarters anytime during the weekend. You can phone in answers, use the internet, hunt through books, or just use you brain while enjoying the atmosphere of trivia.

- Listen to 88.1 FM KVSC all weekend long and call us with your answers or use any online Instant Messenger to send your answers to username: PullStartDiesel.

- Listen online through the KVSC website and IM PullStartDiesel on your Instant Messenger.

- Give us your phone number(s) and let us call you at any time of the day or night to ask you questions or ask you to look up answers.

What can I bring to Trivia?

- Yourself, your mind, and your phone numbers. We would love to be able to call your friends and your family members at all hours of the day to pick their brains. You may want to warn them that you are playing trivia all weekend. Because if they ask a question at 4:00 am about a company your dad worked for, then he won’t be as mad when you wake him.

- Food and drink. People are snacking at all hours so healthy snacks are great (brain food). Caffeine tends to be the most popular beverage during all 50 hours. We also try to do several meals during the weekend so if you would like to contribute a main dish or side dish, give one of the captains a call. But as a rule, whatever sounds good to you will probably get eaten!

- Books, etc! Visit your local library. Anything related to this year's theme would be especially great. Other information sources can also be useful (brochures from events and locations, CDs, DVDs) Anything can be the subject of a question.

- Your cell phone. We always need a few more phone lines.

- A blanket and pillow and toothbrush. Come prepared to get hooked!
