Challenge 1.2: Instant Experts (LIVE) - $3
OMC 6's first live challenge will take place in an AIM chat room next week. Please go to this thread on the message board and vote on which day and time you would like to have the challenge.
This is a trivia challenge. There are 30 questions, and for each 10 questions the team answers correctly, $1 will be added to the pot. 30 minutes is the time limit, and the team may not move on to the next question until they give a correct answer.
The twist? The trivia questions are so obscure there's probably no way you'll know the answers... so I'm giving them to you. But the answers will be contained in 30 sound files that, in total, will be way too long for just one person to listen to within the time limit.
You will have to use teamwork... and trust... to divide the workload and pass the challenge.

OMC 6 NEWS BRIEF
Psychologist, patients go missing
WASHINGTON, DC: A well-known psychologist and 15 of his patients have disappeared, according to police officials.
Dr. Trevor T. Travis and the patients have not been heard from since Thursday night. Some of the patients' homes showed sign of forced entry.
Travis was most easily recognized for his national advertising campaigns in which he told prospective patients that "life is a game -- start winning." Critics say his treatments are ethically questionable. Most infamously, Travis recreated the Milgram and Zimbardo experiments, resulting in a series of lawsuits that were later settled out of court.
