Happy New Year. Brainstorm is Back!!!!

Hello folks!  Wondering if Brainstorm! went away?  Well no.  We just took a break for the holiday season and the year is over.  I would like to thank all of you who participated this year and had fun while doing it.  Jason Rotolo became the 2015 Brainstorm! Champion for Trivia and Riddles.  Great work sir.  A lot of you also did very well as you were not far behind him.  Check out the standings on either side on this blog site.

Now for 2016, the format changes a bit.  The riddles will still be one a week, so 51 to 52 for the year.  As for trivia, there will be one new question presented everyday.   The riddles and trivia will remain open for the entire month.  Also, this time, you will be the one to determine how many points to win per question (Confidence Points if you will).  You can chose from 1 to 5 points depending on how confident you feel about your answer.  If you are correct, you get the points, if not then 0 points.  Simple as that.

There will be monthly winners and a winner for the year.  Remember, all questions will be up until the end of the month.  A new trivia question each day and a new riddle each week.

Alright.  That's it.  I hope you all had a great holiday season and have great goals for 2016.

If you have any questions, email me at becauseimwil@gmail.com, send me a facebook message, or a direct message on Twitter or Instagram @becauseimwil

Have fun and good luck!!!
