[net.tv] TRIVIA CONTEST

giw@browngr.UUCP (Jerry Weil) (12/17/83)

Each semester, Brown holds a campus-wide trivia contest.  We thought it might
be fun to send out the questions from this semester 1 hour at a time (there
are 8 hours).  Many of the questions and most of the memorials will make no
sense, but they've been left in for the benefit of possible alumni reading
the net.  Each hour will have a bonus section and 15 regular questions -
one cosmic every 4 hours, one galaxian and super-galaxian for all 8 hours.
Please mail me your answers.  Results for the first hour will be posted
in late January.

Disclaimer - many comments may seem offensive.	No comments are intended
		to offend people, but to remain in the spirit of rude and
		disgusting subject matter.
