A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR
The following story is entirely fictional. The characters are not real people. The school is not a real school. The competition, while it resembles any number of actual events, is similarly fictitious. To the best of my knowledge, nothing even remotely this absurd has ever happened at any scholastic competition. Trivia is a safe, fun and educational pastime, suitable for adults and children of any age. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar; may their retribution be swift, pitiless and agonizingly exquisite.
Thank you.
