Eyewire Winter Games 2018: Trivia

Figure skating! Always an audience favorite. Jackson Haines, a 19th century American who began his career as a ballet dancer, is generally considered the father of the modern sport, and Olympic TV broadcasters have probably thanked him ever since. In fact, figure skating is such a mainstay of the Olympics that it even started off during the 1908 Summer Olympics, before a Winter Olympics existed!

It’s unfortunate that Eyewire can provide no true equivalent to figure skating— imagine tracing artistic shapes around a neuron!— but of course we can put our own spin on it, no pun intended. Our usual trivia bot is a pretty good judge of technical knowledge. Now’s your chance to try earning a perfect 10! The bot will start firing off questions at 11:00 AM EST on 2/18 and continue until 11:00 AM EST on 2/20, at which point things will finish with a power hour till noon.
