## 🧠 Daily Trivia

A new trivia question posts every day at your scheduled time. Answer quickly to earn more points!

### How It Works

1. **Question posted** → Multiple-choice trivia appears in your channel
2. **Team answers** → Everyone submits their answer
3. **Faster = more points** → Speed bonus for the first 20 correct answers
4. **Leaderboards** → Track weekly and monthly standings

### Scoring

| Component                 | Points     |
| ------------------------- | ---------- |
| **Correct answer**        | 100 points |

| **2nd place**             | +19 points |
| **3rd place**             | +18 points |
| **...down to 20th**       | +1 point   |

### Weekly Themes
