Report written by : Pranav Joshi

2nd - Kaushik Chatterjee and Suchishree Chatterjee

The quiz started with a 25 question preliminary round where the top 6 teams qualified into the finals. The dynamic duo of Surg Capt. Kaushik Chatterjee and his better half Suchishree Chatterjee cruised through the prelims with a 14 point header while two college teams comprising of Prateek + Parantap and Charles + Pranav followed closely behind. The cut-off for the prelims was 8 points. The prelims was a set of well framed questions albeit a bit on the tougher side. The first question started off with all teams taking the most obvious guess which turned out to be biggest Alan Davies moment. The prelims, pretty much like the entire quiz, hardly had any Peters. Overall a good start to the quiz.
Kaushik and Suchishree Chatterjee continued their form from the prelims with a lot of early pounces in the finals. Arnold and PP upped their game for the finals, often clashing and going ahead of Kaushik and Suchishree in terms of points only to be overtaken by them again. The four other college teams on stage struggled to find their openings to attack. The short finals consisted of only 3 rounds. 2 Rounds on infinite bounce and 1 written round in between. The IR rounds had some really brilliant questions, pretty evident from the resounding applause they got from the people on and off the stage. The written round was interesting for it had 10 photos showing aerial views of different places and cities. The lack of open teams on stage meant that the QM Anmol Dhawan had to give out quite a few hints for the questions. The only thing one could complain about was the shortness of the quiz.
The final was quite one-sided (two-sided if you're being pedantic) with the first two spots being sealed between the two Open teams right from the start. However Arnold and Pranav Pawar managed to recover from their comparatively low score in the prelims and clinch the winner's title. The third position was a hard fought battle between three college teams with Charles and Pranav pulling ahead with 5 points on the penultimate question and coming third.
