Warren set an all-time record by scoring on seven consecutive assigned questions in the “Stump the Experts” round, including a sweep of the Math couplet:

7. B/ MATH What is the value of the cube root of x to the sixth power if x = 2?

         Ans.  4

8. A/ MATH What are the two solutions if the absolute value of 3x – 4 equals 5?

         Ans.  3, -1/3

Boise North, however, dominated in the 2^nd and 3^rd periods.  They swept three consecutive bonuses — ABNORMAL PSYCHOLOGY, LITERATURE, and MATH, taking a 185-100 lead into the Seventy Seconds Round.  They then got 9 out of 9 on MILITARY FAILURES while Warren advanced 50-10 on FIRST LINES.

The final score: 365-310 in favor of Boise North.  No team went undefeated, however, as CVCA had defeated North 295-230 in the prelims.

In points per game average, Gadsden ranked No. 1 at a whopping 355, North second at 344, CVCA third at 305.
