"Gap" Experts in Australia Needed

Post by SRD »

The question co-ordinator for the prime time television quiz show, 'The Einstein Factor,' in Australia is looking for an expert adjudicator for the Grand Final, which will be recorded on June 29, 2006. The subject? The GAP cycle. The requirements? The volunteer must live in Australia, must have a thorough knowledge of the GAP books, must be available to verify questions before recording, and must be prepared to adjudicate--expertly, I assume--the answers of the contestants. Anyone who fits the criteria and wants the job should reply with an e-mail address and phone number, which will be forwarded to:

cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

Thanks everyone!

Let me know how it goes so I can pass it on to Steve. And it'd be great if someone could tape the show and convert it to an mpeg so we can all see! :-)

I can organise that pretty easily through a friend of mine (as long as I have a week or twos notice).

LM, sounds like a great "gig" [and you mean there's two people in Australia who are "Gap" experts. How funny! :D ]

I wonder if they'd accept two? It would be nice to meet her, and Seareach (as well as others). If I get accepted, or Elf, it would be nice to organise a Gap meeting. Perhaps the 'Lorecon', 'Lorefest'? ;)

GO LORE!!! :twirl:
You can always use me as a "phone a friend" for any Nick-related questions! ;)

Not sure I could be THAT good in the "experts" department! I'm the photoshop goddess, remember? Visual more than cerebral!

Wow, that's awesome. Good luck, LM. Hope you make it on the show.

By the way...if you do happen to go on TV........... Would you mind wearing a www.kevinswatch.com t-shirt? :P ;)

Maybe this would be a good time for us to make a "Conformity of purpose will be achieved through the mutual satisfaction of requirements." t-shirt. Hehe.-jay
