February 2, 2019 1:14 PM - Subscribe
Trivia fans -may not- have heard of one of the toughest contests of them all ... the KVSC (MN college radio station) contest ... which has been honed for 39 years. This, 40th year, it takes place Feb. 15-17, 2019 .
This ludicrous, grinding marathon lasts for 50 continuous hours over 3 days ... made possible because it's played by teams. Those who live out of that area, can catch the stream at the address given here.

Seconding a FPP!
I worked as a Librarian in the area about ten years ago. Apparently, before the internet was a big thing, the Librarians in the area would gather up all of the reference books and set a rotating cast of librarians up as the "KVSC Contest" librarian. They would field all of the many, many, many incoming calls from trivia contestants. By the time I was there, most of the contestants had their own computers...we still got calls though.
