Panels and Workshops / Extremely Hard Take-Home Quiz

« on: May 05, 2022, 11:13:13 PM »

WIN A NINTENDO SWITCH AT THE EXTREMELY HARD TAKE-HOME ANIME QUIZ!  This is a multiple-choice, open-book, take-home quiz that begins on this site three weeks before the convention.  Look up anything you want to get the answers.  The questions are so hard that you probably will not know any of the answers from memory.  Instead, you will need to do research into the real world of such topics as art, geography, history, literature, music and science.

I think many fans still cosplay from Black Butler.  However, few people still use forums.  For my part, I have a Lord Trancy costume and will join a photoshoot if available.

Panels and Workshops / Re: Extremely Hard Take-Home Anime Quiz 2017

Yes, I would be delighted if you and your friends were to take the Sakuracon quiz.  Please hurry because we at Sakura-con just had our board meeting so the old web page will be deleted soon.  The quiz can be found under Programming, under contests.  If you are not able to get to it on time, let me know and I can mail or email you a copy. 

Give yourself (and your friends if they are also participating) three weeks to do it and mail it to the PO Box listed on Page 2.  I apologize for this late reply, but after I announced the cancellation of the quiz in April, I did not really expect to find a reply.

If you would like, you could take an Ichibancon quiz instead.  I would have to send it to you.  The Ichibancon quizzes simply have recycled Sakuracon questions.  However, I selected the best questions for Ichibancon, so their quizzes are especially well written and challenging.

Thank you everyone for the information.  This will help me prepare for the 2017 convention.  I also just learned from National Public Radio (NPR) that  2017 will be the twentieth anniversary of Harry Potter.  It sounds most appropriate.

Geez, guys.  Aren't there things you should be doing before the con, like costumes to make, fan fiction to write, gaming skills to hone, quizzes to study for, dances to practice?  I mean, you don't want to be doing these things at con, right?

I doubt that the convention center can deny entry to service animals.  With few exceptions, facilities that are open to the public are required to accommodate people with disabilities.  Service animals are considered extensions of the owners' bodies, like canes, wheelchairs and hearing aids.
