Dude!  It's like taking a test with a cheat sheet, and you'll get free pizza and drinks to boot!  (I'm guessing you'll need to bring your own grog to add to the N/A drinks, but hell, maybe there'll be booze!)  Oh, yeah, and you can win CASH!  Score!
 

The press release:

PROVIDENCE, RI – Brown Library to host competition of Internet literacy and cognitive agility.  ....  Winners will take home hundreds of dollars in prizes. The contest is free and open to all students.
Afterward the contest, the library will provide free food and will host a discussion about digital
information literacy.

The contest was created in 2007 by then Purdue University philosophy student Daniel Poynter. It has since grown to other universities across the nation including University of Florida and Indiana
University.

"This is the first competition in which people wield the Internet as a cognitive prosthetic. It’s a high
speed battle of Internet-enabled intelligence. It has three main objectives," Poynter said. "To identify people who thrive in information overload; to disseminate their insights; and to create a discussion about what it means to be digitally literate."

"Our age is both unprecedented and pivotal," Poynter said. "Unparalleled global access to information is accelerating technological and social change. Making sense of our increasingly complex world depends upon becoming better information filters through the help of libraries. This competition is one way to ease ourselves into this exciting future."
