Geography Bee


Several rounds.
1st round
Blue vs. Yellow: Which direction does the world's longest river flow? In what desert would you find a 2-humped camel? Blue wins
Maroon vs. Gray: What is the most populous country in Africa? What mountain range separates Europe and Asia? In what body of water would you find the Loch Ness monster? (no one gets this) Maroon wins
Orange vs White: What is the absolute location of the Tropic of Cancer? What is New Zealand's primary export? What is the world's longest river? Orange wins
Black vs Peach: What is the tilt of the Earth's axis? What is the lowest place on land? Peach wins
Purple vs. Green: Mt Everest is on the border between what 2 countries? When writing coordinates, what is listed first? Green wins

Country/capital death match between Gray and Black for a trip to the quarters. Gray advances.

Quarters:
Blue v Gray: Blue whoops up!
Orange vs Purple: Purple
White vs Green: Green
Maroon vs Peach: Maroon


Semis:

Purple vs Green: Purple pulls out a win on the final question
Blue vs. Maroon: no one gets the first question, Blue takes the next 2 quickly, Maroon answers the monsoon question, then Blue takes the final question.

Championship round:
Purple vs Blue
purple strikes first, blue strikes back, then takes the third question when maroon rings the flyswatter before the question is asked, then takes another one for the win

Way to go Blue team, which included a HHS student!
