Trick or Trivia

By: Cade Taylor       At 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 26 the Programming Activities Council (PAC) continued its festivities for their week of fun with a Halloween event of Trick or Trivia, a contest hosted by Scott Alexander via Zoom.       The event consisted of four rounds of fifteen questions, with first-place winning seventy-five dollars and second place winning fifty dollars in each round.       The grand total amount awarded to students throughout the night was five hundred dollars!       Because the event was via Zoom, participants had to answer questions on their phones, and points were determined by how fast contestants responded to each question.       Most questions were simple Halloween facts that most people know, but occasionally, a tricky question slipped in the mix. The original name of candy corn, the original name of the Hocus Pocus film, and whether a pumpkin is classified as a fruit or vegetable are some examples of the head-scratchers. It turns out, pumpkins are a fruit!
