Some great fundaes, some poorly framed questions but all in all an enjoyable quiz and a great effort by the BPHC Quiz Club. The Quiz: Pune regional qualifier of BPHC’s Enigma Quiz. Pune was not one of the cities in which the quiz was originally supposed to be co...

The Technical festival  College Of Engineering Pune  hosted a set of three mega quizzes from 23 rd  –25 th  September. The quizzes each year draw a variety of audience with a taste of everything for everyone. Torquest  - The Sci-Tech Quiz QM - Divij Ghose Set By - Ipshita Paul & Divij Ghose Winners - Shantanu G. and Shantanu P. (BMCC)               Known for its status quo of hi-tech fundas and you-know-it-or-you-don’t questions, Torquest ’16 had been an interesting affair. The 21 question Prelims with 4 two part questions seemed tough, the quiz had high-school familiar scientists fundas and relatively easy tech questions, with the very first question bearing the answer ‘Torque’! The two-part questions and long framing added to the difficulty of the Elims and the teams were seen tickling their brains.  The quiz had a participation of more than 85 teams which jam packed the Mini Auditorium. Finals went smo...

Report- Qonnoisseur 2016, CoEP MELA college Quiz Report written by Pranjal Gupta, AFMC. Set by: Dhananjay Jagtap and Rohan Tickoo Conducted by : Rohan Tickoo Date: 24th September 2016 RESULTS 1st - Pranjal Gupta and Rishabh Mehta(AFMC) 2nd - Pranav Joshi(Modern College) and Charles(PICT) 3rd - Arnabh Sengupta and Anirudh Anilkumar(AFMC) PRELIMS-  Thanks to the previous day's events, it was a relief that the Prelims started on time. (Quiz was delayed by 3 and a half hours the previous day) Only 20 questions though, with some nice questions on Moulin Rouge, Kahlil Gibran, Greta Garbo mixed with easy ones like Feluda and a few from the Marathi category. But some of the  weirdly framed questions on 'Take Me To Church' and the Grauman's Egyptian Theatre(yup, not the Chinese!) combined with no part points on offer reduced the cut off to 6. FINALS The finals began with a written round on Simpson movie references, and teams generally scored well with two teams ...

Report is written by Anmol Dhawan from AFMC. Quizzasm, General Quiz  at BJ Govt Medical College, Pune Date: 11th September 2016 QM - Omkar Dhakephalkar RESULTS 1st - Anmol Dhawan & Pranjal Gupta (AFMC) 2nd - Anirudh Anilkumar & Hritvik Jha (AFMC) 3rd - Omkar Borate & his partner (COEP) Other qualifiers - Sruthi & Sravya Darbhamulla (ILS Law College), and one team each from BJMC & SKNMC. REVIEW - Anmol Dhawan & Pranjal Gupta Prelims - generally easy workable questions. Omkar had obviously toned it down from his usual quizzes at ILS/BCQC allowing for easier guessing. Questions were good, well framed and fundas were nice too. Finals - again a great set. We felt there were some sitters in the finals which probably could have been asked in the prelims instead (new iPhone not having headphone jacks, Canonisation of Mother Teresa, Charlie & the Chocolate Factory etc). Could have been more representative - there weren't many questions from l...

Set by Omkar Borate and Aman Shaikh Conducted by Aman Shaikh Format: 25 question elims followed by a 32 question final on IR Attended by ~ 100 teams Results: 1st: Aniket Khasgiwale and Aditya Gadre : 85 pts 2nd: Anannya Deb and Maitreyi Gupta: 75 pts 3rd: Vibhendu Tewari and Avaneendra Bhargav : 70 pts 4th: Abhinav Dasgupta and Shubhankar Gokhale: 65 pts 5th: Venkat Srinivasan and Samrat Sengupta: 60 pts 6th: Omkar Dhakephalkar and Pranav Pawar: 40 pts The quiz started with a 25 question elim. The questions were a bit long and while workable, they could have been crisper. Some questions in the elims were totally know it or you don't. Overall the set was competent. The highest score was 19 while the cut off was 13.5 with one star The finals had 32 questions on Infinite rebounds with half passing clockwise and the other half anti clockwise. The questions themselves were good and one notable point that the QMs should be proud of is that there were almost no Gawd awf...
