If you know the answer to this brain buster, the McMaster Alumni Association could have used you last Wednesday night at the Madison Avenue Pub in Toronto for the kick off to the 2006 Trivial Trivia Challenge. It was a grueling battle between the McMaster Marauders and Guelph Gryphons right to the very last round, when Guelph's team “CITH” came out on top.

McMaster has one more chance to prove our outstanding trivia skills and bring the 2006 Trivia Champion title back to Mac where it belongs on July 12 at Kelsey's Restaurant in Westdale. Faculty, alumni and friends are welcome to attend and enjoy prizes, food, drinks and, of course, a friendly trivia competition.

The alumni association would like to congratulate all the McMaster grads and friends that came out and participated in this high intensity trivia challenge.

McMaster alumni officer, Lori Moulden '06, was pleased with the event's turnout. “A good time was had by all,” said Moulden. “This night, which brought together alumni from two different universities, was about more than showing off trivia skills – it also provided a social environment to unwind and catch up with old friends. We're really looking forward to the next competition in Hamilton on July 12.”

So what type of moving vehicle do you think takes over 500 million people worldwide on very short rides?

An elevator.
