As a co-sponsor of “Mythbusters: Behind the Myths” at the WFCU Centre on Thursday, November 27, the University of Windsor has a limited number of tickets to distribute, and is offering them to DailyNews readers.

One of the most highly regarded and watched series on the Discovery Channel, MythBusters mixes scientific method with gleeful curiosity and plain old-fashioned ingenuity to create its own signature style of experimentation. Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman will bring that mix to the WFCU stage and will invite fans on stage to assist in their mind-blowing and mind-twisting approach to science.

To enter the contest, just respond with the team’s findings on these shibboleths of modern life. Winners will be selected at random from all correct responses received by 4 p.m. Wednesday, November 5.
