Today was the second
round of the Battle of the Books. And what an exciting round it turned out to
be! The Hypernovas scored 14 out of 15, the Book Dolphins 10 out of 15, and
both the Sea Serpents and The Champs scored 9 out of 15. Hypernova team member Patrick
Peng made a mistake on the 13th question, ultimately leading to the
loss of a point that could have made the score perfect! During an interview, Patrick
Peng said that the loss was because he was too nervous to remember the answer
to the question: “In which book did a pap (dad) say that a jar of honey
attracts more flies than a jar of vinegar?” The answer, he said, came back to
him and seemed obvious after the Battle. The Sea Serpents and The Champs have
been eliminated. They will not be competing anytime soon. However, the two
remaining teams, the Hypernovas and the Book Dolphins, will be moving on to
compete against fourth-fifth grade classes!
