The Great Midwest Trivia Contest is the longest-running trivia contest in the world (wow). This article will walk you through the steps to participate in this 50-hour masterpiece.
== Steps ==
=== Acceptance and Hope ===
# Acceptance of wanting to play trivia is the first step towards beginning your trivia experience. Mentally, getting yourself to the point where you think that 50-hours of trivia is fun and being at peace with that thought means that you are ready for the approaching turmoil.
#* Trivia takes place on the last weekend of January every year. Airing on Lawrence University's own WLFM radio station, tune in at 8 pm on Friday evening to declare your team name. Remember: never give your name to strangers, so you should make a fun name to deceive any would-be murderers listening in.
=== Reconstruction and Working Through ===
# You got your first question wrong, but you still feel okay. You're surrounded by friends and love. Then the Rejected Garuda (Garruda, Gurruda, Gouda?) hour comes. You can make it through.
=== The Upward Turn ===
# It's 11pm, you're feeling good. You're 20 points ahead of the next team. Things are looking up. Keep applying snacks to your pain, it will subside.
=== Anger and bargaining ===
# As the questions continue to build in difficulty and number, you may begin to experience intense rage. You will begin to start pleading with your body in order to compete. You will sell your firstborn for an action question. Eating a snack will help, but the food can't keep your demons away forever.
=== Depression ===
# When your song doesn't get played. you may feel low. You can try eating a snack, but it may be best to quietly reflect in the corner. You can try to fix most things with snacks. ‾\_(ツ)_/‾
=== Pain and Guilt ===
# Immediately after the competition begins the pain will begin. Ranging from mild discomfort to a burning itching feeling. Trivia-itus is caused by sitting in the same position for long periods of time without proper nutrition or companionship. Ways to avoid these symptom are-
#* Take frequent stretching breaks.
#* Bring nutritious snacks and water into your trivia playing space.
#* Form a team with enough members to keep you both entertained and well-rested. A large enough team means that you can make a rotating sleeping schedule.
# The guilt is caused by not taking proper pre-trivia precautions such as doing your schoolwork and or not telling your family you will be missing for 50-hour. It can also be caused by dragging your friends into this hell with you.
=== Shock and Denial ===
# It's midnight on Monday. The crushing weight of every midterm you have coming hits. Your adrenaline is racing. Is this what coke is like? You have nothing to show for your efforts. Keep your chin up, champ.
== Tips ==
* make sure you bring proper chargers for all of your electronics.
