A Tale Of 2 Quizzes

These are the best of times,the worst of times.
Slowly the Quizzing Season has started with the regular shadys being interspersed with a few good ones.

The Bad One:
Hindu Physics Department Quarks 2008 Quiz

The people there are nice,but ignorant.
Prizes:- Cantabil Vouchers+Weird Books

Format:- No information on how quizzing works,rules which sadly is general ignorance.
                         Buzzer Rounds Without Buzzers

There really should be a book of "How To Do a Quiz" rather than all these Quiz Books from where questions are filched.No More Comments.

The Good One:       
Hansraj History Society History and Culture Quiz

Visited this one expecting a very shady affair.But Roerich and team at Hansraj certainly had it covered at all ends. What could have been a drab affair was turned into a Good Quiz. There were a couple of repeats here and there,a couple of Bloopers like the non-photoshopped question but then aren't we all guilty of that.

Format:- 20 Questions Prelims+ Finals with a Delhi+India+Asia+World and then a Special Round.

Prizes:- 2+1.5K which if fulfilled by tomorrow should make it even better.
Hansraj is doing 2 quizzes back to back on the 12th--starting at 10 in the morning-General and Entertainment as part of their fest. The Quizmasters are Inhouse so it should be a good affair.

Quite a few quizzes coming up on the horizon. 4-6 quizzes tomorrow itself.Details are either too non-specific or constantly changing or too many ;)

So land up in North Campus and there should be a good number waiting.

For any other updates look at:-

Questions in a later post maybe :(
Happy Quizzing
