Report The last time Harish conducted a quiz was six years ago , a time when there was no such thing as an infinite pounce (except in the minds of some lewd quizzers) and Amit Varma (remember him?) was still a quizz...

When : 4th August, 2013 Where : Extentia, Pune By: Curated by Aditya Gadre, based on a quiz by Suraj Menon. Valiantly conducted (in the face of relentless sledging) by Avaneendra Bhargav. Format: 35 question written quiz for 2 member teams. (About 20-odd teams took the quiz.) Results: Winners: Ranajeet Soman and Ramanand (25 points) 2nd: Venkat S and Arnold D'Souza (20) 3rd: Samrat Sengupta and Maitreyi Gupta (19.5) Report:  An excellent set of questions on sports and entertainment (side aside: why is there a spate of Sports+Entertainment quizzes in recent times, "SpEnt" as it is referred to. Has the potential of just a Sports or an Ent quizzes been spent?). Most questions were very workable, even the ones masquerading as hip-hop questions. Got something to say yourself?
