CNOF finished in first place competing in the April, 1999 University of Wisconsin—Stevens Point “World’s Largest Trivia Contest.” CNOF accumulated 11,005 points and defeated 491 other teams in a competitive contest characterized by frequent lead changes.

Starting at 6:00 p.m. on the Friday of Trivia weekend and continuing for 54 straight hours, questions are broadcast from the University of Wisconsin—Stevens Point’s radio station WWSP (89.9). Eight questions are asked each hour and teams have two songs worth of time to call in with the correct answer. Teams are allowed only one call and only one guess for each question. Most points at the end of the contest wins. Question point values are determined by the number of teams submitting a correct answer.
