I believe they receive some funding by the state (which I believe was cut in half this year) but there are also many volunteers.
Edit: The funding, not the state, was cut in half.
Haha, nice edit addition!
Ahh well yes if they are publically funded then they should get it right. I agree, Morons.
This is today:
Announcer: "The answer to number one is...15."
Everybody else: "What? Don't you mean 24?" [background expletives]
Announcer: "No, it says 15."
Somebody: "You mean that it's a 15-gon, which has exterior angle 24˚, so 24 is the answer, right?"
Announcer: "Um, we'll go back to that. Number 2..."
...later they said it was 24, thankfully.
The other problem they messed up on, let's just say that the error they made was approximately equal to this one:
1+2+3+8=14, but 1+2+8+3≠14. Duh.
