Two quizzes.One day.
College=Hansraj College
Organizers=Chemistry Society as part of KemE 2007:-)
Expected to be another of those shady run of the mill quizzes that are held in the morning,with very little prize money.....This was everything that it wasn't supposed to be.
The quiz started half an hour late...huge achievement:-) but was organized decently enough.There was rather obvious rigging involving 1 team.Other than that,the quiz had no major problems.
Prelims were quite shady,which led to an expectation of Capital of Burkina Faso type of questions but the finals weren't too bad.There was no solving chemistry questions which came as a big relief.
Decent job.

This quiz was again a pleasant surprise.Decent prize money.Good to OK type of questions.As Sharat sir calls them..they are just right questions.They took only 4 teams to the finals.And there was constant discussion in between the Finals.With ladies trying to hog chocolates when
1.They don't deserve it
2.They don't need it.
Some controversy over a few questions.And the person who was reading the questions in the finals had neither made them/read them/didn't know how to read.But friends did help him out rather well.
