As always, thanks to everyone who participated in last week’s contest! I’m posting this week’s contest a little earlier than usual, so last week’s contest still has close to 7 hours remaining. If you haven’t submitted your answers yet for last week’s contest, there’s still time! Growth of the contest has been seemingly slow, but steady. It’s encouraging to see a number of returning players, as well as some new faces. If any of you have any ideas for how to improve the contest, or draw in more players, please let me know in the comments or on steemit chat. I hope you all enjoy this week’s questions!
If you enjoy the contest, please consider resteeming the post during the week. The more people who play in the contest and upvote each week, the larger the prize pool becomes.

Here are the rules (PLEASE READ THEM ALL):
- Please DO NOT post answers as replies to this post. If you do so, you will be disqualified from the contest.
- All answers must be sent as a direct message to
on Steemit Chat (https://steemit.chat). Please include your Steemit account name in the message for potential payouts. Once you have submitted your answers on Steemit Chat, please comment on this post letting me know that you've submitted your answers.
- Only one answer message per user per question is allowed. The message should include your Steemit account name and your answers for any of the questions. This means you only get one shot to answer any of the questions! Subsequent answer messages will be ignored.
- You may use any resources at your disposal to answer the questions.
Here’s how the payouts will work:
- Each question will be worth 25% of the money generated by the post.
- The amount of money that each question is worth will be split evenly among the users who answer the question correctly.
- You will be paid out for all correct answers that you submit. You do not need to answer all four questions correctly to receive a payout.
Example Payout:
- The post generates $400.
- Each question is worth 100 SBD.
- 20 users answer Question #1 correctly, and each receive 5 SBD for their correct answer.
- 100 users answer Question #2 correctly, and each receive 1 SBD for their correct answer.
- 5 users answer Question #3 correctly, and each receive 20 SBD for their correct answer.
- 1 user answers Question #4 correctly, and they receive all 100 SBD for their correct answer.
These questions are intended to be difficult. I want to make these questions challenging enough that those users who do get them correct are adequately compensated. This compensation also depends on the amount of money that the post generates, so upvote and spread the word! Also, if any questions go unanswered, the payout for those questions will rollover into the payout pool for the next week.
If you have any suggestions about how the contest could be improved, please comment on the post.
This Contest Ends on Friday, August 18th at 11:59 PM Central Time

Quick Bio and Trivia Background
My name is Mitch, and I’m a computer engineer living in Wisconsin. I play in the World’s Largest Trivia Contest, which is held every April in Stevens Point, WI. The contest is a fundraiser for the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point radio station, WWSP. It is a 54 hour long contest that spans an entire weekend. I am a co-captain of the team “Festivus For The Rest Of Us”, who have won the contest 3 times and are currently defending champs. The questions that I write for the Steemit Weekly Trivia Contest are similar to those asked during WWSP contest, albeit intentionally more difficult on average. If you’ve enjoyed searching for the answers to the questions that I’ve written, or really just like trivia in general, please check out the WWSP trivia contest.
