1. The BBHQ Weekly Trivia Contest is open to all active members (Trivia,
Basic, Premium, Premium Plus) at BBHQ. 2. Our contest features trivia primarily from music, TV and radio, movies, current social and political events, fads and fashions of the late 50s, 60s, and early 70s. 3. You may need speakers and a sound card to participate. Make certain you your computer can play MP3 sound clips before you begin the contest. 4. We post a new contest every Monday at or around 6 p.m., eastern. 5. Each contest consists of 10 questions. Contestants answer the questions online and submit answers using our entry form. 6. Once the quiz begins, do not click the refresh (or reload) button on your browser. That will disqualify you. 7. The first contestant to answer all 10 questions correctly wins the contest. If no one answers all 10 questions correctly, well, there'll be no winner that week. The contest usually runs until Friday. 8. We will confirm your entry after you submit it, but we will not be able to tell you your score or if you are the winner. We'll inform all participants who complete the contest via e-mail, probably 2-3 days after you submit your entry. 9. You either know it or you don't. Contestants have a time limit of 3 minutes to complete the contest. If you do not click the "Grade Me" button within 3 minutes after beginning the contest, you will be disqualified. 10. You can enter the contest only once each week. Once you begin the contest, you're in. That's your only shot.
The Fine Print:
You gotta' read the instructions. You don't follow the instructions, you
may miss the boat. Not our fault.
Though any member may participate each week, you may win a maximum of
twice in any 12-month period.
We have tested our contest on recent versions of Internet Explorer and
Netscape. We have no idea if it will work with WebTV or other oddball
browsers. If it does not work for you.... sorry, we probably can't help
you.
Void where prohibited, taxed, regulated, restricted, disallowed,
frowned-upon, or otherwise limited. Militant Islamists will be
disqualified.
Decision of the judges is final.
We pay the postage to get the prize to you in the U.S. We may require you
to pay postage outside of the U.S. Taxes? Whoa, that's your bag,
entirely!
We are not responsible for hardware, software, network, or other
technical problems; phone line or DSL failures; cable interruptions;
hurricanes, termites or no-seeums; a yada-yada-yada.
We may suspend the contest at any time; we'll give you plenty of notice
ahead of time. But we gotta' do what we gotta' do.
You snooze; you lose.
The odds are in your favor. But still, how do you improve your chances of winning? Well, for starters, become a member. Ya' gotta' be a member. If you are not already, join here. Next, sign up for our free no-spam, Joke of the Week Newsletter. We'll offer hints every Monday morning for the contest that begins the same day:
No spam; no charge; just 60 seconds of good, clean fun. Read our "This Week with the Chicowitz" essay before entering the contest. It often contains a clue to one or more questions. Finally, play around. Questions in our contest often come from our trivia library and our numerous trivia quizzes. The more you know.... the more you know.

Just one bonus after another: Even if you are not a member, if you get all 10 questions right in our Warmup Contest, we'll give you a one-day pass to play the complete version of our "Name That Tune - The 70s Edition" quiz.
Can't wait to win? Most of these items (and dozens more) are available in the BBHQ Merchandise Mart. Click the pic and take a look:
Three questions from a recent contest:
|
2. April, 1974: We were apparently really into abbreviations. The number
3 song was TSOP. TSOP is an abbreviation for what? 3. The artists behind TSOP were MFSB. MFSB is an abbreviation for what? 4. We all remember "Father Knows Best." They lived at 607 South Maple Street. We have no idea what state it was in, but we do know the city. What was it?
|
If you can answer these.... you're a contender for our current contest.
