Plus, we need some format to roast in our lexicon.</i> High cost? I never thought of that. For Pitt this is the only tournament all year that is fully paid for. I like Enver Hoxha questions.

Not questions about the Enver Hoxha of 16th-century Mali, though. This was my first CBI. Are there always this many questions about historical women nobody's ever heard of? Historical women probably accounted for 75% of the questions that fell dead in our matches. And how about that bonus: MODERATOR: The small Eastern European nation of Lithuania... MY BRAIN: Yes! I know all about Lithuania. MODERATOR: ...leads Europe in the percentage of its energy that comes from nuclear sources. MY BRAIN: Yes! I've been to that power plant. Ask away! MODERATOR: For ten points, what nation leads North America in the percentage of its energy that comes from nuclear sources? MY BRAIN: (explodes) At least all the spelling boni let you know they were spelling boni ahead of time instead of just stating a nonsensical sentence, asking which word had the most E's, and not stating the sentence again.
