We won the semis! We beat Nutley pretty badly today, 1340 - 600. The questions were a little bit harder, too.
It seemed that we weren't even playing that well and we were still beating them. Everyone had their own contributions too, as usual.
The funniest part was how two things discussed on the bus were answers today: Hitchcock's / du Maurier's The Birds and "filibuster."
They didn't accept an answer stating that volume was what's increased when amplitude is increased, in favor of "loudness." Sure, but "loudness" is a kiddy answer. So it really could have been even bigger.... 1380 - 560.
So the final is next Tuesday at Madeline's restaurant, complete with the free dinner. Winning does have its perks. The best part of BRITE is how it can carry the entire third marking period. We've been doing this since February. It'll be late April when it's over.
