This trivia contest was nationwide and offered a prize of a vacation home in Wasilla. I was the winner of this contest. The minimum amount of money raised at $100.00 an entry was not met. I won about $9,000. This contest was held in 1995 before internet searches were possible. I spent a total of two solid weeks in the Anchorage Public Library researching the results.
There was a legal disagreement about the answer to question 19. Another contestant gave a more general term as his answer: predestinarian. All predestinairians are not Supralapsarians.
