my own radio contest

Some days I like to play along to radio trivia contest in my car during my hour long car ride home. I don’t call in to answer the trivia question. I just yell at the radio. But yesterday a local radio station was giving away tickets to the Fiona Apple concert at the Ryman. The show that I really really really wanted to go to but didn’t have the money for. Yes, that one. I listened to others answers until I was about 85% sure I knew the right answer. I dialed. It rang. It rang. It rang. And rang and rang and rang. And rang.

I said out loud, “Oh please answer the pho…”
“Venus FM, do you have an answer?”

And I had an answer. And that answer was the right answer!!! I about drove off I-65! I won! I won!

Two Fiona at The Ryman tickets
Two passes to see John Tucker Must Die
The Soundtrack to John Tucker Must Die
I won.

Here is the question. Let’s see if you can guess the answer. Maybe I’ll give away a prize and make it worth your while.

MOST CHILDREN BELIEVE THIS. AND 10% OF ADULTS STILL DO.

Leave your answer in a comment.

Yes, Virginia. There really is a Santa Claus!

No, I'm sorry Nate. Belief in Santa Claus is not the right answer.

Hmmmmm.

I was thinking Santa Claus, as well.

I have no answer, but wanted to say CONGRATS for winning! :)

Now.. what's the answer?

Themselves!

More people should belive in themselves. But that's not the answer either.
It's also not...
1) the boogeyman
2) the tooth fairy, easter bunny, etc.

Can I win the prize even if I cheated and went to the radio's website to look it up? :)

Jennifer Coomer said...

I was wondering when someone would do that. Yes, SP...why don't you tell everyone the answer since you were so resourceful!

The answer is: That the moon is at least partially made of
cheese!

My husband and I regularly participate in one of the local radio station's trivia contests. It's a big part of our entertainment budget. Enjoy the prizes!

Jennifer Coomer said...

Correct!!!

The exact answer that I gave was "That the moon is made of cheese." and they said that was correct. I liked my answer better. :-)

Well, now I have to come up with a prize. Maybe I'll send you some yarn. ha ha!!

And you have to figure out how to send it to me, since I'm still a secret. :)

SERIOUSLY! The moon is made of cheese? How on earth did they come up with that question? And how did you come up with that answer?

Jennifer Coomer said...

Process of elimination, my dear. I listened to a lot of answers before I knew it.
