  • 2. 

    Which of these is not a Technical Method?

    • Chemistry

    • Eletrical

    • Blue Print

    • Hydraulic

    Correct Answer
    A. Blue Print
    Explanation
    According to section A of the challenge, technical methods refer to chemistry, electricity, hydraulic, etc., and one of these should be part of how the device is supposed to operate. Technical design refers to the planning of how the gear can be demonstrated using technical methods.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    The extreme conditions can be of a purely fictional nature as long as the location is real.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Yes, the challenge asks only for a real place, which can be set in any time frame or even modified by realistic or unrealistic means.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    What should an appraiser do if the extreme gear is so small they can’t see it well enough to appraise it?

    • Give the Team a score of Zore becasue the Gear is too small.

    • When the performance time starts the appraiser should ask a team member to brig the Gear closer so they can see it.

    • The appraiser shoud ask a team member to take the Gear into the Audiance so everyone gets to see it.

    • The appraiser should move to a location close enough to see the Gear.

    Correct Answer
    A. The appraiser should move to a location close enough to see the Gear.
    Explanation
    Appraisers should move as close as needed, provided they do not interfere with the team’s presentation, in order to see well enough. If the gear is still too small, then the appraisers must closely examine it at the end of the presentation and question the team thoroughly so they can have a very good understanding of what it is and how it should operate.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    The character attempting to survive in the extreme conditions must be human?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    No, the challenge only states that one character must be human (it could even be the narrator), any type of organism – even a fictional one – could be the character that adapts.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The extreme gear...

    • must be built during the Team's presentation.

    • Only has to be demonstrated during the presentation.

    • Made of foil.

    • Can be bought at L. L. Bean.

    Correct Answer
    A. Only has to be demonstrated during the presentation.
    Explanation
    This has caused some confusion due to the original wording, but it only has to be demonstrated during the presentation.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    The Team can receive a score for demonstrating the gear if the item is just a prototype.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Yes, you must confirm that the team used technical methods while the characters were supposedly operating their gear. Even if it is a prototype, the team must make it clear how it should work.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    For this challenge Central Challenge appraisers are required to be knowledgeable about all the possible extreme environments, allowing them to determine that the facts or other aspects of the depiction are accurate?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    No, this is unrealistic. We rely on the teams to be clear enough in their descriptions and depictions so we can easily identify the general location, but specific details may be beyond our individual understanding. If an appraiser does have enough background information to be well informed about a location, he/she should not be too picky about specific details found to be somewhat inaccurate.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    The Team will receive a point for its overall depiction of the Extreme Environment. If a Team selects a piece or part of the Depiction as a Team Choice Element also to be scored, the Team will receive a score of zero for the Team Choice element.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A team choice element may be a part of the environmental depiction, but only if that particular element can be identified as a stand-alone item (for example, the artistic quality of the painted backdrop, or the team produced jungle noises).

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    An audience member with no connection to the Team shouts out words of encouragement during the presentation, This represent interference? 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This is False if the person shouting is a random audience member, this is normally regarded as incidental and the individual should be quietly encouraged to refrain – no deduction is warranted. If the person is a team parent, a warning should suffice if it only happens once. If it comes from another team member of the team manager, then a small deduction may be appropriate as it could impact the effectiveness of the presentation (discuss this with your Head Appraiser and/or Challenge Master).
