Now That’s a Lot of Windows!
MARCH 9, 2010
by PEDRO PEREZ
How many windows are there in the Empire State Building? That was the final tiebreaker question at the Youth Ministry sponsored Big Brain Battle at Solid Rock held on Saturday, March 6.
This fundraiser event, for the upcoming Mission Trip to the Dominican Republic, was attended by people of all ages who came to test their knowledge on a variety of topics ranging from everything between Animals to World Religion. In all, five teams of four participants were formed to battle it out and see who had the bigger brain...although for many, selecting a team name seemed to be the biggest challenge.
After enjoying a delicious meal and a selection of snack items which were for sale at this event, teams Old School, Holy Crew, Fantastic Four, The Incredibles, and Platanos-in-the-House, were ready to begin the timed 10 rounds (10 questions per round) that would grant one of them the rights to be called the Big Brain Battle Champion.
Turning off all cell-phones and PDAs (to avoid any temptation to Google an answer), teams were given a series of true-false, multiple choice, visual, or audio clues during each round with a limited time to discuss and record their answers on paper. Sheets were collected after each round and scored by Carmen Powell and Milton Aguila while the teams continued to the next round.
After all the smoke cleared from some of the “brains that had been fried”, it came down to teams Holy Crew and Old School who were tied for first place. Without going over, the answer to the tiebreaker question I began this article with is "6,500 windows"...and team Holy Crew (Damaris & Ray Gonzalez and Orlando Rodriguez pictured above) was victorious!
Thanks to the cooperation of Evelyn Garcia and other youth chaperones who helped the staff of Bouncing Charlie’s Playhouse watch our young kids, the evening was entertaining and relaxing for many parents as well. See our photo gallery>>
