They had a high school TV quiz show when I was in school. It was broadcast in black and white. I was picked as one of the ten contestants and sure enough, I won. The name of the show was "America's Dumbest High School Students." I won because the other nine contestants found the TV station. First prize was supposed to be a round trip ticket, but it was more of a rectangle.
