Knox Amazing Race

By Ben Reeves

February 2, 2011

The Knox Amazing Race was amazing in that it covered the whole globe, requiring knowledge of women’s clothing from India, matching names and photos of Asian heads of state, searching for flags pinned to walls around Seymour Union and running back and forth between the Gizmo and Ferris Lounge. Although chaotic, driving competitors to confusion and despair at times (particularly given the difficulty of wrapping a sari competitively). The race made for a break from the normal humdrum of an early Friday evening and a great start of I-Fair weekend. Although the competition would have benefitted from more judges, the competition was friendly and the games had a great deal of variety.
