Thank you, Einsteins!
February 24, 2018; Elmhurst, Illinois. The American Legion bar was full of eager trivia nuts, ready to battle it out for $100, a fabulous trophy, and of course bragging rights to the “Most Knowledgeable of Nothing Special” title. Braingamers took the prize (and graciously donated it to back to Conquer MG), and Suck It, Trebek! came in 2nd.
A great time was had by all. Conquer MG gratefully acknowledges emcee Jim White’s expert hosting and question preparation, and Sarah White’s scorekeeping.
