I thought it was a close game, I thought the questions were challenging in the categories proposed, and I think the students handled themselves respectably.

Favorite Round: Speed Round/More or Less
I was nervous that I wouldn’t know any answers, but the questions proved to be just the right difficulty, and being the last team to start helped us get a feel for the questions before it was our turn. I do wish I hadn’t second guessed myself, but we still won. Overall, I had a great time, and I am excited for the next round.

It was fun testing the skills and knowledge I've aquired at school against other teams. I saw gaps in my knowledge and am eager to fill them. All in all, it was a great experience, with great people, and I'm excited to do it again.
