Great excitement filled the finals of the quiz competition Veistu svarið? held this week, where the teams from Setbergsskóli and Víðistaðaskóli faced off. In the end, Setbergsskóli won by the smallest margin, 17–16, after an incredibly thrilling competition. The victory of Setbergsskóli is especially noteworthy as the school also won the competition in 2025, and has therefore defended its title with distinction.

Knowledge, focus and team 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 was made up of Andri Jón Ágústsson, Hrannar Pétur Sigurðsson and Sigurður Aksel Thoroddsen.
The Víðistaðaskóli team consisted of Steinar Logi Hallgrímsson, Lilja Bergrós Kristjánsdóttir and Orri Kristmundsson, with Birkir Már Viðarsson as coach. The reserves were Hrafn Tinni Sigurjónsson, Róbert Hugi Sævarsson and Sigurður Stefán Ólafsson.

A link to earlier times

The quizmaster for the competition was Tómas Geir Howser Harðarson, and the question writer and scorekeeper was Einar Baldvin Brimar. It is fun to note that both have a past connection to the competition: Tómas himself competed in the finals for Víðistaðaskóli and Einar Baldvin for Setbergsskóli. They describe it as both exciting and enjoyable to now be involved as organizers after having followed the competition for many years.

Veistu svarið? is an important platform for students to test their knowledge, build self‑confidence and practice cooperation — and this year’s finals clearly showed that the future is bright.
