Calling all Queensland smarties

Queensland’s reputation as the “Smart State” will be put to the test at an upcoming Guinness Book of Records attempt.

The Corporate Brain Tease - an enormous lunchtime quiz - will be staged on Wednesday, October 8 as part of The University of Queensland’s Brain Disease Challenge.

The Challenge aims to raise much-needed funds for research into brain and nervous system diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy and Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

A tax-deductible $500 donation to the Challenge also doubles as a company’s entry fee for a five-person team to compete in the Corporate Brain Tease to be held at the state-of-the-art UQ Centre between 11am and 2pm on the day.

A representative from the Guinness Book of Records will be on hand to record the event and if the bid is successful, the winning team will also be published in this renowned, international publication.

Teams from the Brisbane Lions, Mack Trucks and G James Glass have already signed on for this quiz with a difference.

Lunch, refreshments and certificates of participation will be provided as well as great category and overall prizes.

Two hundred (200) teams are needed if the record is to be set.
