Steven Hines

Steven Hines was a freshman at Brown who played high school quiz bowl at Desert Vista.

He is best known for the scandal resulting from his playing of the April 2014 online Skype mirror of Lederberg II, which notably took place after the set had been posted on the archives. He racked up an astounding stat-line of 41/39/13 and 104.44 PPG en route to thrice clearing a field that included Jerry Vinokurov and several other established science specialists, none of whom were even close in terms of PPG and power count. To make matters worse, he ended up completely denying any wrongdoing, in spite of having put up 16.29 PPG at the 2014 DII SCT just 2 months earlier.
