The Trivia Game We Forgot To Play

If you missed it, we had a great time with our pals at the Husky Ticket Project and the Susie Foundation on Sunday recording a live pod and raising some funds for their more-than-worthy causes.

What you might not know is that we also prepared a trivia game for those in attendance that we didn’t get to play (time constraints and audio problems). Instead of letting our ten minutes of preparation go to waste, we’ve built a little quiz so you can play along at home.

Here was the plan: Start with a sizable group of participants. Ask them binary choice questions that get progressively more challenging. Eliminate all who guess wrong and thin the herd until one glorious champion emerges.

If you manage to get all 15 questions correct, buy yourselves a J. Timothy’s gift card.

Here’s The Dang Questions
