“Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader an Administrator?”
So you think you're smarter than a 5th Grader an administrator? Here's your chance to find out!
At the St. Paul picnic which follows the Interfaith Blessing for the New School in the lower quad on September 11, students can match wits with administrators during our own UST version of the game show “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader an Administrator?”
To be a contestant, students will sign up at the beginning of the picnic (about 12:15 p.m. in the upper quad following the prayer service). Contestants will be drawn at random, and Dr. Aaron Macke will host the show during the picnic. The game show will be videotaped and shown later on Tommie TV and the Welcome Week web site.
Contestants will answer questions about St. Thomas "factoids" at three levels of difficulty. Two "lifelines" may be used: the audience or one of three administrators seated on the stage may be selected to help with the questions. Fun prizes including Box Office tickets, $25 and $50 Book Store certificates, will be awarded to students for correct answers at each progressive level.
After each correct answer, contestants have a choice of taking their prize and leaving the game or of moving to the next level. After an incorrect answer, all prizes will be lost and the contestant leaves the game.
If you want to "crib" for the contest, you can review the following items!
Come and join us for the picnic and test your knowledge of tommie facts and trivia against St. Thomas administrators for fun and prizes!
***************
At the Minneapolis picnic luncheon following the September 12 Interfaith Blessing, there will be a UST trivia game. People may randomly draw a question and write their answer to it. At the end of the luncheon, there will be a drawing from among all correct entries, and a prize will be awarded. Come join us, have some fun, enjoy good companions, good food, and learn something about St. Thomas!
