Passion ‘09, IMT Ghaziabad

Hey All,

Attended Biz Quiz @ IMT,Ghaziabad. Quiz Master was our own Souvik Basu.

Prelims – 25 Qs

Cut Off was 10. The prelim questions were good and not that tough. I thought the cut off would have been around 14. Prelims covered current happenings which included the Ash-Abhi Lux ad, ‘I hate Ugly’ – Allen Solly Campaign, first woman nobel prize winner, etc.

Finals:-

3 Teams from IMT
1 Team from ITM, Mumbai
1 Team from IIFT, Delhi
1 Team from IBS, Hydrebad

Finals had 5 rounds with a total of 40 Qs.

Souvik had compiled some real good Questions.

The theme was a real good one but the same was cracked by an audience in the second clue itself.. superb crack…!!!!

The clues included Canon+Terminator Salvation+Ray Ban+Honda+… and the answer was Brawn (F1).

Connects were also good except for a sitter (Barbie).

IMT,Ghaziabad cracked some good Qs like the description of mascot of common wealth games – Sheru and also they cracked the theme.

IMT, Ghaziabad came first followed by ITM, Mumbai. ITM tried catching up with IMT but the home team was good to maintain their lead and subsequnetly won the Quiz.

Was great to see Souvik conducting a quiz. Nice compilation of Qs. A good set of prelims and a well set Final.
Good job Souvik da… Quiz Master in the making. Would love to attend more of your Quizzes.

Prelim Qs will be put up in the next post.

Tata Crucible Corporate National Winners – Just In

Hey All,

Just came to know that Tata Crucible Corporate Winners for the year 2009 are:-

Non Tata Track: – Vizag Steel – Sabyasachi Pani and Santanu Dey
Tata Track:- TCS – Suresh Kumar & Aniruddha Dutta ( back to back trophies – gr8)

Though we were not there to see the finals, we can sense that the level of quizzing would have been gr8 and hats off to winners.

During last National Finals Vizag Steel teams had mentioned that they have year long sessions going on in their company which targetted “Tata Crucible” and yes they did it this year… kudos…

So teams from smaller cities have started giving fight to the teams from Metros/traditional power houses of quizzing in the national level. Hope this will make quizzing more exciting.

The World Cup of Quizzing ‘09 comes to an end.

For those who missed out this time – start preparing for the “war of brains” for the next edition of Crucibles…!!!

Happy Quizzing…

Thanks & Regards,
