The Pub Quiz Set and Conducted by Aditya Gadre Format: A written quiz of 41 questions with a total of 44 poitns to score on th topics of Food, Alcohol and Pop Music Results: 1st: Venkat Srinivasan and Rohan Jain: 18 points 2nd: Samrat Sengupta and Maitreyi Gupta: 12 points Overall the quiz was low scoring (I expected the scores to be more in the 15-20 range). That said, the quiz was remarkably even with almost all the teams in the 11-12 range - with Samrat and Maitreyi just making it past to get second place. Vcat and Rohan were in great form and were miles ahead on 18. Please leave your feedback in the comments section.
