‘Spongebob Square Pantheon’ triumph in RSUA annual quiz!

The 8th annual Perfectly Proportioned Quiz of Architecture and Other Things took place at the Black Box in Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter last night, Thursday 16 April. This year’s quiz questions were the responsibility of RSUA. Teams battled through eight rounds of questions covering music, AI, dingbats, a round inspired by quiz show Only Connect and the feared ’round of death’.

The Perfectly Proportioned Quiz of Architect and Other Things always involves some surprises and tasks to get the creative juices flowing! Added extras this year included a variety of spot prizes and a creative challenge which saw teams design their own mugs (more on that below).

Eight teams competed throughout the night but ultimately it was ‘Spongebob Square Pantheon’ who came out on top, to be crowned the winner of the £200 Sterling Prize sponsored by MCL Consulting, and a case of wine from CECO.

All funds raised from the quiz goes to support the Simon Community NI.

At the start of the night teams were introduced to this year’s creative challenge ‘Mug shot’. Our teams were tasked with designing an architecturally themed mug. All teams stepped up to the challenge and produced a wide variety of designs. After a public vote, one team came out victorious, winning a case of wine from Hays to share between them.
