Notes:
Brief comments:
* Quiz was organised by the makers of the Heritage India magazine; the participants were from Pune schools in the age-group of 5th to 7th standards
* About 20-25 teams from about 8-10 schools participated
* Though tight at the beginning, Orchid pulled away from the rest in the second IR round and maintained their lead throughout
* As is always the case with school children, lots of enthusiastic kids, some of them very-well informed, and already showing the ability to guess and work-out. Only a handful of questions went unanswered, and not one was 'pass'-ed.
* Sevasadan topped the prelims with 16 out of 30. The cut-off was 14.
* Prizes sponsored by Heritage India, a local publisher (Saraswati Publishers, I think), and BCQC sponsored the 4th prize (because there was none).

Can u post the archives?
Great show, JR. Sounds like fun, & 14 to 16 as the qualifiers spread exemplifies a set of young 'Injuns ready to don the mantle. Heartening signs, and yes, I can quite imagine some of 'em besting some of us very soon, if not now !
Mukund: will try to
Anand: thanks. The nice thing was that between them, the participants (most of them about 11 to 12 years of age) had heard of things such as SPIC MACAY, could work out the origin of "juggernaut", and try not to pass a question.
You had better try and finish winning all you can before they come of age ;-)
