 * ===In the spring before the opening of school, students were given the following summer quest relating to the 1982 World's Fair:===
 * 1) What was the theme of the 1982 World’s Fair?
 * 2) Identify at least two features of the Sunsphere that you believe were designed to develop the theme of the 1982 World’s Fair.
 * 3) What material was used to give the windows of the Sunsphere their brilliant shine?
 * 4) The Tennessee Amphitheater was originally designed to be a temporary structure. Why is it still in use today?
 * 5) How many nations placed exhibits at the 1982 World’s Fair?
 * 6) The Hungarian Pavilion featured a huge replica of a popular puzzle created by a famous Hungarian Professor of Architecture and Design. Name the designer and the puzzle.
 * 7) To the nearest million, approximately how many visitors came to the 1982 World’s Fair?
 * 8) Like many World’s Fairs, ours launched a popular food item. Petro’s were introduced at the 1982 World’s Fair. How were the Petro’s served at the fair different from the ones you would buy in a Petro’s restaurant today?
 * 9) How does the naming of our signature snack reflect the theme of the 1982 World’s Fair.
 * 10) Cities often hope that World’s Fairs will develop community resources. Find at least one way in which the 1982 World’s Fair, dedicated to a STEM theme, contributed to Knoxville’s development in a non-STEM field.
