Trivia Slam (Big Nate Event)

The Trivia Slam is an annual competition in which P.S. 38 students team up and compete on any trivia. Ms. Clarke hosts the trivia slam. The last team standing wins. However, in the final round, nobody on your team can help you with the trivia questions. Before the final game, Gina's Geniuses were the current undefeated champions. However, they were replaced by Francis' Factoids.

History
In Big Nate: Flips Out, Nate Wright, Teddy Ortiz, Chad, and Dee Dee are part of Francis' Factoids. In the beginning, the questions are easy, but as teams get eliminated, the questions get more challenging. Eventually, their team makes it to the final two against Gina's Geniuses. At first, it seemed like Gina's Geniuses would have won because Mrs. Clarke gave Randy Betancourt a sports question. Fortunately, the question was about chess, which confused Randy since he is not a chess person. Randy answered incorrectly, giving the Factoids a chance to win. When Nate was given his question, he and Francis knew what the answer would be, and Nate answered correctly, making the Competition winners. In the books, that is when Nate admitted that he is afraid of cats.
