1) What is debate all about?
     Answer: (A) Food.... We debaters love food (not actual debate food of course, but the stuff you get afterwards), and many have proclaimed it to be the main purpose of debate.

2) Match the P.G. debaters with their B.E. romances:
     Answer: (B) Alistair and Stephanie.... Although Walker, Harrison, and Sara have all had their fair share of relationshiips, only the match of Alistair and Stephanie come close to qualifying.

3) The Ghetto Blasta is:
     Answer: (C) A pink radio.... It just is.  Ask Chilton about it.

4) Name the three official debate food places:
     Answer: (B) Rush's, Waffle House, and Hardie's.... Waffle House is a must for debate trips, Hardie's is our breakfast stop, and Rush's is yet another debate place.

5) Which debater likes boiled peanuts, sleeping, and girls?
     Answer: (A) Rex.... Rex is definatly the answer for this question since he is one of the only debaters who has ever shown all three qualites on a single trip.

6) Which of the following is one of Alistait's nicknames?
     Answer: (A) Shoes.... Which Alistair wishes he was called "Masta Debata" or "Macho Man", there is just no getting around the fact that he owns a pair of neon yellow shoes.

7) Competing in Extemp requires:
     Answer: (A) An Extemp box.... While Walker proved that is is possible to formulate some form of a speech with two magazines, if you're planning on actually competing, you do in fact need an Extemp box for your Extemp round.

8) Which of the following should you NOT do at a debate tournament?
     Answer: (B) Make fun of your opponent's speech during the round.... While "ask for the judge's phone number" is highly unreccomended, it has actually been proven that making fun of the other person's speech may compel the judge to award you with the minimum number of speeker points.

9) Debaters drive around in:
     Answer: (B) A miniature bus (called The Breadbox).... If you would like to learn more about this amazing vehicle, go to the schedual page.

10) When is the best time to write an LD case?
     Answer: (C) The week before.... To tell you the truth, we honestly don't know the best time to physically write the case.  However, according to the LD-ers, you need books full of phylosophical quotations and the like, so you'd better find some stuff before you actually leave.
