There are a lot of good questions hidden in these posts! Time to study up!

Note: Only the first TEN (10) articles will be covered in the quiz.

In an effort to make sure that all attendees have a chance to become the KING/QUEEN of the featured state, we have decided to give all former Trivia Kings and Queens a deficit of “-200” points for each time they have previously won 1st place.

  1. This should give those who haven’t won before a better chance
  2. Provide some additional challenge to those who have won before

Here are our previous winners and their current deficits.

Articles

ALL Local Guides around the world are welcome to participate in the #StateChallenge!! Everyone is invited to participate, whether they have visited the state or country themselves, or are daydreaming about what the featured have to offer.

If you write an article, make sure to link to it in the comments of this post AND put #StateChallenge in the title!

  • Submit your article by NOON Pacific Standard Time the day before the meet-up.
  • 500 words or less is best
  • Link your article in the comments so we can add it to the #StudyGuide

More details of the challenge are here.

Meet-up Format

To join the trivia game online during the meet-up, you will go to https://game.playfactile.com/join and then enter the pin number provided at meet-up time.

…AND at the end of the game, there is a FINAL QUESTION. The point value of the final question is based on a wager that you make!

  • You will determine how much of your points you want to risk.
    • If you answer correctly, the wagered value will automatically be added to your score.
    • If you answer incorrectly, the wagered value will be manually subtracted from your score.
  • PREVIOUS WINNERS: All previous winners MUST wager at least the number of their handicap/deficit points. See table below.
  • WINNER(S): If a previous winner is the top winner, the next non-previous winner will ALSO be crowned.
  • EXAMPLE(S):
    • If you have 2000 points and your handicap is 600, then your minimum wager is 600.
    • If you have 2000 points and you wagered 2000, and you answered correctly, you would have 4000 points at the end.
    • If you have 2000 points and you wagered 2000, and you answered incorrectly, you would have ZERO points at the end.
  • This approach enables previous winners a way to win AND new players to win as well!

How do you participate? Here’s a How-to Guide! Thanks to @AdrianLunsong!

Thank you @Denise_Barlock for including the articles in the study guide.

These are indeed just the recent ones. I guess there are a total of 40 out there on Rajasthan alone and another 30 are in the Draft.

I am sure we will have a lot of fun, as always, at the Rajasthan state challenge as well.
