Submit questions for the Acculturation Ascender

Our art installation in deep playa challenges visitors with multiple choice questions to assess their B.M.I.Q. (Burning Man Intelligence Quotient). The objective is to motivate Burners to seek, observe and retain important Burning Man cultural information.

Here's how it works: the visitor finds a hidden computer kiosk that asks a series of five randomized questions. Each question must be answered correctly within the allotted time to win a prize. Failure results in a creative insult after which they are asked to leave and return after they learn more about Burning Man.

Example:

MOOP stands for?

A. Move Over Or Perish
B. Matter Out of Place
C. Moving Out Of Pace
D. None of the Above

We can use as many good questions as you can think of, so post your ideas.

The kiosk is hidden inside of a 6x6 puzzle box that isn't obvious how to open. Anyone good at designing mechanical puzzles is welcome to join our team. We also will need a group to check on the art installation several times a day and often at night to ensure the generator is running. If you don't know where you are camping yet, we'd love for you to join us!

Wow! Nobody who has been to Burning Man can think of questions that help acculturate?

I thought there were creative, smart people here! C'mon!

Since the first Burn has the man always burned once a year?
