The University of British Columbia

Hey everyone,

Thanks to everybody who submitted their question to the Quirks & Quarks challenge. All the questions have been collected and sent to the producers of the show who are now finding UBC experts to answer the 10 chosen questions.

Thanks also to all the arts people who submitted their excellent arts based questions to show. Traversing the great divide and thus making it smaller!

If you’re interested in coming to a taping of the Annual Quirks & Quarks show at The Chan Centre for the Performing Arts, here are the details:

Join Bob McDonald, host of CBC’s award-winning, brain-teasing, audience pleasing, Google-seizing, mind-reasoning Quirks & Quarks Question Show.

Host Bob McDonald and ten experts will be recording their annual question show March 8^th, 7:30 PM at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts (The Telus Theatre).

Each year Quirks & Quarks solicits questions from you the listeners and the community. Ten of the best questions are pre-selected and will be answered on the show by UBC experts in each area.
