UPDATE, Jan. 24, 2016 / First off, remember the deadline to play 2016 Naper Trivia is at 11:30PM Mon., Jan. 25. Just as the first person to play will win a prize, so will the the last person to enter, no matter what the score.
Currently, the high score to beat is held by Kate Schultz. Her strategic play resulted in 3,997,344 points! Only the first 30 participants are posted online, so if your performance is not up to your expectations, no one will know!
2016 Naper Trivia was busy overnight! As of 10AM, Sun., Jan. 24, entries have pushed some players off the top 30. Now the score of 81,471 points is in position 30. At this moment, nine players have scores higher than 2,132,082. Keep it up!
Winners will be announced in the February issue of PN.
Thanks to all for taking the challenge!
UPDATE, Jan. 21, 2016 / Now in its 14th day, Naper Trivia 2016 Pop Quiz, the fifth edition of local lore published since PN first hit the streets in September 2001 during the Naperville Jaycees Last Fling Labor Day Parade, is well on its way to name a winner with the grandest score ever.
From now until 11:30PM Mon., Jan. 25 (The date in 1759 when Scottish poet and songwriter Robert Burn was born and today is still celebrated during Burns Suppers throughout the world and sometimes by the Rotary Club of Naperville / Sunrise.), entries will be accepted.
Note: A prize will be awarded to the first as well as the last person to enter the Pop Quiz.
Scores may vary very much, especially on the trick questions with special bonus features. So far, each of the top five players has scored more than 3,801,684!
Fifty questions include multiple choice and true/false. So try it (all the questions are featured in the centerfold of the print edition), just for the fun of it. You’ll find yourself in good company with many players online.
