Scholarly Challenge

About Scholarly Challenge
The Scholarly Challenge is one of the so-called 'Friday evening events', of which there are 4 different types. Each week they rotate. In practical terms, this means that the Scholarly Challenge occurs roughly once a month. Enter at the Scholarly Challenge NPC (located at 546,668 near the North Archosaur teleport) between 8:30 and 9:00pm server time to enter the Scholarly Challenge instance (a big, empty room). At 9:00pm, the entrance to this event is closed, so don't be late. When the event starts, random, multiple-choice questions will appear on your screen. You have 30 seconds to answer a question. Each question offers 4 potential answers: A, B, C, or D. In the four corners of the room are triangle-shaped areas, each of which has a large letter floating above it: either A, B, C, or D. To answer a question, run into one of these triangle-shaped areas and stay there until the timer counts down to 0. After this, your character will be teleported back to the middle of the room. If you got the question correct, your screen shows a green box with a checkmark, and you get a 'Chest of Academic Knowledge' which can contain either 1 Perfect Silver Note (87.5% chance), or 1 Perfect Gold Note (12.5% chance); if you got the question wrong, the screen shows a red box with an X, and you get no reward chest. In total, 20 questions will be asked before the event concludes, so a maximum of 20 chests could be obtained if you answer all 20 questions correctly.

A lot of the questions that the event asks are pretty obscure, and there is a good chance that you will not know the correct answer to many of the questions. To avoid missing out on rewards, you can use the list of questions and correct answers below to help.
