Rising to the Buzz! challenge

SWOTS at Loughborough University have swatted their Aston University rivals at a university challenge with a difference.
Students from the two Midlands universities battled it out over the internet using the popular PlayStation 3 quiz game Buzz!, with the town team triumphing over their Birmingham counterparts 3,764 to 3,690.
The winning students received £50 cash each, PSPs handheld consoles and a free bar tab for the evening.
Similar contests are continuing to take place nationwide, with the leaderboard-topping university announced soon.
The overall highest-scoring campus will then have a £25,000 “house party” laid on by the Buzz! team.
