Eyewire Summer Games: A Battle of Wits

Eyewire, citizen science, trivia, Summer Olympics

What ho! Verily (and forsooth), if ever there were a sport with the wittiest competitors, it must be fencing. At least… that’s what we’re given to understand from watching too many adaptations of The Three Musketeers as children. We’re rolling with it.

Therefore: a battle of wits has been declared! Duel with the chat’s inquizitor bot between 11:00 AM on 8/21 and 11:00 AM on 8/23 to prove your mental prowess. Trivia questions will be posed every hour on the hour; then, on the last day, there will be a power hour from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

Submit your answers by typing them into the chat box. Optional: you may submit answers privately by messaging inquizitor if you do not want other players to see your responses. To do this, type /pm inquizitor before your message.

Bonuses for each question:
1st to answer – 300 points
2nd to answer – 200 points
3rd to answer – 100 points

So, do you know a foil from an épée? Get ready to show off!
