Wanted: A few good men and women for our CultureQuest team for the contest scheduled on Sunday, April 29, 2001. We will do battle against other Mensa teams (most of whom apparently take this contest very seriously) in a competition based on knowledge of a broad spectrum of subject areas. The questions are quite difficult and many of them make the hardest ones on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" look easy. Call Ed at 561-or send e-mail to mistered3600@cs.com for more information and to join the team!
