Sustainability was the name of the game, and many thanks to
our intrepid quizmasters for allowing us to sustain our attempts at quizzing by
allowing a generous general flavour to creep into the quiz. A very workoutable
preliminary round coupled with generous hints and a thankfully non pedantic QM
(which is rampant among certain quizmasters nowadays) meant that the finals
were fun.
With questions spread across literature, the sciences,
history and vexillology, the quiz did manage to promote sustainable quizzing at
the end of the day.
Interesting fundae spanned from the sound dampeners next to
Schipol airport to the presence of the Orient Express and hockey sticks in
environmental sciences, there was much to learn about how humans have been
studying mother Earth. Harambe (RIP) put in an appearance, beautiful music by
Einaudi mourned our melting glaciers and places named after people ended the
quiz.
It looked to be a photo finish from the very beginning,
requiring a tiebreaker for first. I cracked the tiebreaker, not because I knew
the answer, but because I had slept with Charles many times in the past (just kidding, I knew the answer).
Good show by all teams and it was well organised.
