Official results for Day One’s Trivial Quiz:
1st: Jon Rexeisen – 340 points
2nd: John Shimeck – 240 points
3rd: Konr Ness – 190 points
Notably: Justin Hendrickson – negative 220 points
Top three finishers qualify for Friday’s championship round. In this Trivial Quiz Q&A, the answers appear to be redacted but you have a right to know; click on the far left side of the black “redaction” bar (or highlight it entirely) for final wisdom (courtesy of Penthathanerd founder Mark Seemann). The posted Pentathanerd rules are plain and simple and made to be broken.
Next up, Nerf bullets will fly as The Biathalon invades the Great Indoors (not in the face, Cheney.) Other events: LEGO Luge; Snow Sculpture/Snowflake Contest; Hardware Teardown/Rebuild; and Trivial Finals.
And until the mainstream media wakes up to what the people want, we will continue to provide exclusive coverage of The Pentathanerd Winter Games. Complete coverage at http://pentathanerd.com.

As you can see, I am clearly the winner. I have – negative 220 points, while first place had – 340 points.

It appears Justin is correct, however, he is not (and was not, more often than not). We regret the double negative. For the record:
1st – Jon Rexeisen: 340 points (indeed, a positive number)
2nd – John Shimeck: 240 points (or, 460 points more than Justin)
3rd – Konr Ness: 190 points (staying positive)
Notably: Justin Hendrickson, negative 220 points (less than zero)

The IPC judges use of fuzzy math to steal away my victory shows that they are more interested in exacting revenge upon me instead of conducting a fair and impartial Pentathanerd.
What’s even more unacceptable is the collusion between the IPC and this blog in covering up the truth.

Justin, that’s not a minus sign, but rather an em-dash. Totally different.
