Questions please! Now its my turn to be that guy.

Well, honestly I only turned up because of a misunderstanding that led me to believe that it was Chakravyuh that was on Sunday. But it turned out for the best, and I quite liked the quiz. The questions were good and there weren't any of the "What is the difference between superchargers and turbochargers" type [a prospect I greatly dreaded]. The only place where I would say there is room for improvement on the part of the QMs is, I wish they were a little more sure about the acceptability of partly correct answers. For example, if you put in a question about Minis, then you better know the difference between Mini Minors and Mini Coopers.

So Kunal S still continues to use his lone wolf approach towards maximising quizzing revenue?

And now with Amit Dandekar writing reports and Salil Bijur asking for questions in the comments section, we have indeed come a full circle.
