An educated guess, based on a verse in the Bible, resulted in the Lee Chevrolet Buick team winning the Trivia Bee for adults Tuesday night at P.S. Jones Middle School in Washington.

Nine of 31 teams remained in the competition until this question was asked: what is the dot over a lower-case I called?

By submitting the only correct answer — tittle — the Lee Chevrolet Buck team comprised of Almeta Woolard, Sheryl Niederhauser, Debbie Perry and Jean Lee won the second-ever Trivia Bee.

“I took an educated guess,” Woolard said moments after the four-woman team was declared the winner of the Trivia Bee. “I can’t quote you scripture and verse, but I know in the Bible it says, ‘not one jot or tittle shall pass away from the law before God’s accomplished what he wants to accomplished.’ That’s loosely paraphrased.”

In Matthew 5:18 of the King James version of the Bible, it reads: “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.”

Asked which of the Trivia Bee’s many questions was the hardest for her team to answer, Woolard replied, “That one.”

Some of the questions were posers, such as what color is hippopotamus milk: Answer: pink. Another question was how many hearts does an octopus have? Answer: three. One question had to do with Washington’s (the city in Beaufort County) early history. What was Washington called before it was named after Gen. George Washington? Answer: Forks of the Tar.

Each team was allowed one free re-entry into the Trivia Bee after missing its first question. If a team incorrectly answered more questions in the first three rounds, it could pay $25 for each wrong answer and continue for as long as it liked. In the final round, once a team incorrectly answered a question, it was eliminated from further competition.

The Trivia Bee was organized by the Washington-Beaufort County Chamber of Commerce as a way to raise money to help it provide education-related programs such as Job Shadow Day, during which high-school sophomores spend part of a day following people as they perform their jobs. The event provides the students an opportunity to see if their interests in careers may suit them.

In previous years, the chamber conducted a spelling bee. Last year, it decided a change of pace was needed.
