It will begin at 2pm here (which is 1am in the UK) until 4pm approx.
If you have any difficulty finding it, search for lit quiz finals under 'channel'. I don't know how long it will be available or whether perhaps a recording will be available later on YouTube or anything but I will post it here when I know.
It's almost midday here and we just had a last minute rehearsal, making sure everyone knows where to sit, how hard to press the buzzers, how many questions there will be (70) and other important details; all that remains now is for us to have lunch, change into school uniform and go for it! Not sure much lunch will be eaten by some participants...
Our team ready to take the challenge
All the teams just before the quiz started
There are some great prizes for the top 3 teams including cash prizes and an amazing award consisting of a beautiful green glass spiral which apparently has some significance here in NZ. I need to find out what it means!
The spiral is a koru, a traditional Maori shape which is indicative of new life, vitality, growth, strength and peace.
The shape is derived from the unfurling frond of the silver fern but is found in nature all over the world.
