Event Duration: 150 minutes

The Millenium Falcon did the Kessel run in how many parsecs? Which is hotter: lightning or the Sun? Who voiced Galvatron in the 1986 animated Transformers film? What did Thomas Edison do to Topsy the elephant?*

If you know the answer to these trivia questions yet you have no idea who won last year's AFL grand final then you've come to the right place. Nerd Trivia is starting a season at Trades Hall with the aim of crowning Melbourne's King or Queen Nerd, and we'll be setting Melbourne's finest geek minds against each other to see whose brain holds the greatest wealth of knowledge on movies, TV, science, history, animation and fiction.

You may think you're one heck of a nerd. But are you nerd enough to beat the rest of Melbourne and take the crown?
Put together your own team of specialists or just come along on the night to join in on the fun!

Proceeds of the night will go towards funding the especially nerdy Fringe Festival show 'Robot vs World' at Trades Hall.

NERD TRIVIA – 8.00 – 10.30pm, Trades Hall, 54 Victoria St Carlton. $10 entry.

*Less than 12 parsecs, lightning is three times hotter than the Sun, Galvatron's voices was supplied by Leonard Nimoy, Edison executed Topsy the elephant via electrocution.
