The Dating Game
CI couples’ knowledge of each other put to the test
It’s always interesting and eye-opening to see how much couples truly know about themselves. The Isle File designed a “Perfect Partner Quiz” in which two couples went head-to-head to see who truly knew each other the best.
The couple contestants were Denise Murillo, senior, and Erik Paniagua, senior, who have been dating for four years going on to five. They went up against Yesenia Melendez, senior, and Alvaro Morales, senior, who have been dating for two years and ten months.
Each couple was quizzed separately with a total of seven questions, meaning there were fourteen points possible. Each right answer was worth one point so the couple had a possibility of getting two points for each question. At the end, points were tallied up and the winner was crowned. Let’s see how they did!
