We are trying a new type of question which encourages people to learn about important leaders in the space not only for Block Collider but in multiple blockchains. For Events 2, 3, and in multiple rounds of Olympia a detail of a Person of Interest will be the answer to one of the questions.
You don’t need to memorize these people just have a lite-understanding of who they are and what they do. The question will be from a large milestone of their life.
