The correct answer was Eustace Tilley.
It was the final round of the “Whatcom Literacy Council’s Trivia Bee”:http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/yb/128436147 at Bellingham High School on April 3. Hundreds were in attendance. The question (What figure appears on the cover of _The New Yorker_?) broke the tie between two teams, the Bellingham Herald and the Community Food Co-op.
The Herald made themselves and us here at Emdashes by answering the question correctly and snatching victory from the hands of the Co-Op’s trivia team. _Veni vici Eustachium Tilleium_.
Mr. Tilley is only too happy to lend a hand to such causes (The Trivia Bee’s proceeds go to the Whatcom Literary Council).
Don’t forget Tilley’s face. He may help you achieve victory at a quiz bowl one day.
