Step 1: Practice jamming

The best way to practice this is to call 911, fake emergencies and keep them on the line as long as possible. Be sure to use an untraceable phone number and do not provide any information about your real location. Talking about taking hostages is often an effective way of keeping the conversation going.

Step 2: Steal your work laptop

Your personal laptop is a probably a piece of garbage at this point and is super slow because of all the viruses you've downloaded over the years, so it's a wise idea to use a computer that is managed by an IT person who is ultimately more responsible for the device than you. Don't forget a charger so that one of your friends can accidentally walk off with it at the end of the week and make it impossible to get any work done until you order a new one. Some people would suggest deleting your browser history after the event, but you should wait until after you've talked about trivia to your coworkers and read at least one chapter of the Cats fanfiction you liked so much to them during your daily meeting. And if all else fails, use the internet browser on your Nintendo 3DS.

Step 3: Listen to Africa on repeat

The trivia theme song is an important part of celebrating the event, but inevitably there will be so much time spent on questions that they only play it like 80 times over the weekend. Put your old reliable Africa by Toto cassette into your classic boombox, hoist it over your left shoulder, and jam out for at least 2 hours straight, pausing only to rewind the cassette when needed. Remixes are acceptable, but you will be best prepared for Trivia by listening to the original. Part 2: Play Trivia

Step 4: Assemble funny chode puns

Without a large arsenal of chode puns, you will not succeed at trivia. Some, like Dane Cook and Carlos Mencia, watch other people's videos of chode puns, though you should try to be creative before blatantly plagarizing their hard work. If nothing else just write "frog and chode are friends" 50 times and you'll be set.

Step 5: Buy lots of food and hire a smug child to cook it

50 hours is a lot of time and eventually you'll have to eat, probably more than once. You'll have a lot of friends, so you can save money by buying a costco membership and buying in bulk before immediately canceling your membership after trivia. But food needs to be cooked and the best way to do that without taking time out of answering questions is to hire a smug child. An earnest child will think you are all weird and won't stick around all weekend, but a smug child will giggle at the chode puns, plus you don't have to pay them as much as an adult.

Step 6: Figure it out yourself you lazy bum

Much of the fun of trivia comes from figuring out how to do it yourself and failing. Celebrate failure and the cold of embrace of death whenever possible. Don't forget to call the complaint line out of spite any time you get a question wrong, though not to berate the trivia masters but to compliment them for writing such challenging questions.
