Competition Arises at the Bolick Center

On Thursday, Feb. 2, PVCC organized two ThinkFast Challenges, one at 11 a.m. and another at noon, where one student was able to walk away with $100 for winning each round. The Bolick Student Center was draped with a forest backdrop that had a wooden sign saying “THINKFAST” printed on it. Beside this was a big projection screen which was used later to display the trivia questions. In front of the backdrop stood four standard gameshow stands with a buzzer and an electronic scoreboard attached to each of them.

At the start of the game show, participants were given devices that looked like cell phones from the late 80s or early 90s. These devices were used to enter the answers remotely after questions were displayed. ThinkFast is an interactive game show which can incorporate trivia questions as general as sports and geography to college-specific questions.

In the middle of the game, participants were given a chance to secure a spot in the final four by participating in a dance off. Once all the “cellular” trivia questions were answered, the top three participants on the leaderboard filled up the final three spaces to take part in a trivia quickfire. Lima Abdul Satar won the first round, and Spenser Woodward won the second game.

Woodward said, “It was fantastic! I really love these sorts of events; it’s a great way to break up the routine and have some fun! I really appreciate the faculty for doing it!”
