As a leadup to the CIC's fifth birthday, the CIC is hosting a special 6 week
Trivia Game 4. The final week will be scored during the CIC's birthday
celebration, and the winner will be awarded a special, as yet undecided, prize.

So, here's how it works:

Every Monday two main questions and one bonus question are posted to
alt.games.wing-commander and listed at the CIC. Please email answers to
trivia@wcnews.com or submit using the form on the Trivia page
(http://www.wcnews.com/trivia.shtml). Be sure to include a name you would like
to be known under for the Scoreboard. Have your answers in before this coming
Sunday (August 3rd, 2003) to ensure your answers are recorded. Answers submitted
early may be returned and you may be able to fix incorrect answers, time
permitting. Main questions answered correctly are good for 5 points, bonuses
good for 3.
