Setbergsskóli won the 'Do you know the answer?' competition. 

A thrilling result was decided by a single point.

There was great tension in the quiz final. Do you know the answer? which took place this week, where the teams from Setbergsskóli and Víðistaðaskóli faced off. In the end, Setbergsskóli emerged victorious by the narrowest of margins, 17–16, after a thrillingly close contest. Setbergsskóli's victory is particularly noteworthy, as the school also won the competition in 2025, thereby successfully defending its title. 

Knowledge, determination and competitive spirit  

The winning team from Setbergsskóli consisted of Hrafnkell Hrafnsson, Karólína Bríet Arelakis and Reynir Örn Sigrúnarson, under the guidance of their coach, Margrét Guðbrandsdóttir. The school's reserve team consisted of Andri Jón Ágústsson, Hrannar Pétur Sigurðsson and Sigurður Aksel Thoroddsen. The Víðistaðaskóli team was made up of Steinar Lógi Hallgrímsson, Lilja Bergrós Kristjánsdóttir and Orri Kristmundsson, with Birkir Már Viðarsson as coach. The substitutes were Hrafn Tinni Sigurjónsson, Róbert Hugi Sævarsson and Sigurður Stefán Ólafsson. Both teams performed admirably, and it was clear that these are the future competitors in Gettu betur, who demonstrated knowledge, determination and sportsmanship. 

A connection from the past 

The quizmaster was Tómas Geir Howser Harðarson and the question writer and scorer was Einar Baldvin Brimar. Interestingly, they both have a connection to the competition from previous years; Tómas himself competed in the final for Víðistaðaskóli, and Einar Baldvin for Setbergsskóli. They describe it as both exciting and enjoyable to now be involved in the competition as organisers, after having followed it for many years. 

Do you know the answer? It is an important platform for students to try out their knowledge, boost their confidence and practise teamwork – and this year's results made it abundantly clear that the future is bright.
