Brain Bowl 85 his was no trivial matter. Brain Bowl participants were selected from among our most distinguished members through elimination at a trial game. Questions were asked in math and science, art, literature, and numerous other catagories. In the end, one representative from each class plus two alternates were chosen. Those six went on to compete at Stuttgart High School in November among 26 schools from DoDDS Germany. It was our third year participating in the growing competition.
