Do you have what it takes to be Suvudu’s Grand Poohbah Alpha Geek
for Life? Well it’s time put your geek where your mouth is…IF YOU CAN!
But first a warning: yes, you could Google for some of these answers, but then, deep down, you’ll know you’re a bad person. However, you might win a free copy of The Geeks’ Guide to World Domination. So you’ll have to balance total loss of self worth with free geek schwag. It’s up to you.
So yesterday I issued a friendly challenge, or sorts, to our geeked out contestant, Tillie S. Well, let it never be said that Tillie doesn’t know how to step up and geek out. Congratulations Tillie on your victory in yesterday’s challenge! But this competition is far from over and with two days left, the grand prize is still up in the air. So to that end…
Email your answers to info@suvudu.com. Don’t comment your answers or you will allow slackers to water down the winner’s pool, thus decreasing your chances of receiving said geek schwag (and you’ll get moderated, deserve a spanking, be summarily executed, etc.). You have until 10:00pm EST tonight. Then try again tomorrow. There’s a free book for each day’s winner, every day this week. The week’s overall highest scorer will earn the title of Suvudu’s Grand Poohbah Alpha Geek for Life (oh, and a $50 iTunes gift certificate). This GPAGFL will almost certainly get his or her face on the cover of Time Magazine*.
To The Geek-Off Already! Remember, email your answers to info@suvudu.com:
1. Geek Culture/Ephemera
Match the pirates with their flags, ships, and fun facts in the form of “Blackbeard: 1, A, a; Mary Read: 2, B, b, etc.”
2. Math/Science
How is this a test of Einstein’s relativity?
3. Classic Puzzle
Tom, Fred, Bill, Andy and Carl are all aging athletes and each is worse for the wear. Can you match each former star to their sport and injury (in the form of Tom: baseball, rotator cuff)?
Clues:
1. Tom played soccer, so his arms still work perfectly, unlike the baseballer, who has a torn rotator cuff.
2. Strangely, the fellow who used to curl was sidelined due to multiple concussions while the footballer hurt his hip.
3. Despite living in Minneapolis, Andy has always hated curling (as does Bill), which is for the best because Andy’s bum wrist would limit his involvement, anyway.
4. Carl hurt something below the waist playing one of the big-three American sports.
4. Tech
Describe the steps one must take to have sex on Second Life.
