The correct answer was Eustace Tilley.

It was the final round of the Whatcom Literacy Council’s Trivia Bee at Bellingham High School on April 3. Hundreds were in attendance. The question (What figure appears on the cover of The New Yorker?) broke the tie between two teams, the Bellingham Herald and the Community Food Co-op.

The Herald made themselves and us here at Emdashes by answering the question correctly and snatching victory from the hands of the Co-Op’s trivia team. Veni vici Eustachium Tilleium.

Mr. Tilley is only too happy to lend a hand to such causes (The Trivia Bee’s proceeds go to the Whatcom Literary Council).

Don’t forget Tilley’s face. He may help you achieve victory at a quiz bowl one day.
