Almost everyone who had come for the fest stayed back for this quiz and the QMs delivered on those expectations.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The prelims were a breezy affair of 25 questions with some excellent fundae, some expected questions, but no run-of-the-mill peters. Although the cut-off for the drafts was 19, there were enough tough questions in the prelims to separate 9 teams without too much fuss. </p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The finals started with an interesting written round on people who passed away in 2023, a round which certain visiting quizzers from Mumbai were overjoyed to see. Then there was an infinite rebound passing round, where everyone was more or less bunched up around the same score.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">After the second written round with the theme of birds, there was a clamour for leniency on certain answers or additional clues in the questions, but the QMs remained phlegmatic and let the din die on its own. </p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The second IR round saw teams taking more risks, with pounces more frequent. Rajiv, Vibhendu and Dada had gone into a healthy if not comfortable lead, with Teams 3 and 4 following closely behind. Some questions might have yielded more points, or at least guesses, if the QMs had added a small clue here and there. But generally, the questions were answered and were interesting enough to hold everyone's attention at the end of 2 full days of quizzing.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Team 5 emerged deserved winners, not getting any negatives on wrong pounces, something which Teams 3 and 4 failed to do and rued together afterwards. </p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">General hilarity and banter was going on during the quiz, which is characteristic of the laid-back nature of quizzing seen at Infest. The quiz ended within time for everyone to leave without being late, and to leave with a warm, contented glow after spending two days full of food, quizzing, in some cases drinking, and enjoying the temperate climes of Pune in January.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">There was plenty of local support and attendance this year, and out-of-town support also continued from across the highway. Hopefully, when Infest 2025 comes along, these will have grown.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Until, then, don't panic, and carry a towel.</p>Ranajeethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10284646327358771097noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-56724094380070411692024-01-31T18:13:00.001+05:302024-01-31T18:13:15.489+05:30The Big Fat Solo Quiz of the Year | InFest 2024<p style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">The Quiz lived up to its moniker of the "Big Fat Quiz of the Year", with 90+ questions!!</span></p><p style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">Like Gadre says "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition", with the Elims having a torturous end for many contenders, 5-6 very good quizzers missed out by a point or less. </span></p><p style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">The quiz was peacefully conducted with no "dhangadhinga" due to the presence of an intimidating QM!!</span></p><p style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">The first answer "Lone Wolf and Cub" was a nice tribute to the format, with a subtle hint by the QM. </span></p><p style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">There were several such brilliantly worded questions in the elims encompassing a wide range, workoutable but with a twist, leading to lots of oohs and ahhs at the end. </span></p><p style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">The Ten finalists were as follows.</span></p><p style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">Representing the Pune Vanguard: Omkar D, Ranajeet Soman;</span></p><p style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">The Pune Old Guard: Samrat Sengupta, J Ramanand;</span></p><p style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">Bombay Satraps: Rajiv Rai, Prithwish Dutta, Abhinav Dasgupta;</span></p><p style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">Young Turks from South of Deccan: Abid A, Shashwat S and </span></p><p style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">Lone Wolf from Big Apple: Sriram P</span></p><p style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span data-preserver-spaces="true" style="background: transparent; color: #0e101a; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">The quiz started out with some great local fundaes, leading to Rana and Omkar taking an early lead, with the rest catching up gradually.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>The second day of InFest 2024 began with the MELA quiz set by Ranajeet
Soman. All the quizzes on the second day were team quizzes, and hence so was
this. The quiz began with a commendable delay of only thirty minutes as
participants trooped in on a Sunday morning after Saturday night shenanigans. But
it was a balmy winter morning in Pune, the city ideal for morning quizzes and
everybody was fresh in mind, body, and <i>spirits</i>.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>After handing out sheets, and ensuring that everyone had seats, the quiz
began with the elims. We had several new faces today, increasing the number of
participants. The elims were a breezy and interesting affair. Ranajeet is known
for his brusque no-nonsense yet interesting questions. This was a pleasurable
elims, with all aspects of MELA (Music, Entertainment, Literature, Art) in both
India and Unconquered Bharat well covered. There were 30 questions in the
elims, and the cut-off was 20.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>Six teams made it into the finals, with an additional three in drafts.
This time the draft process was different from the usual, and it seems that the
same will be the default henceforth. The members of the draft teams were asked
to pick up chits with the teams they were joining. A special mention must be given to Annanya “Dada” Deb for qualifying
for the drafts solo.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>At this time, I will also say
thanks to Pranav Pawar, who ensured everyone was served tea while the checking
was finalised. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span>For the finals, Arnold D’Souza was kind enough to keep scores on the venue
whiteboard.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>The finals started off with a written round as warm-up. Then there was a
round of IR (infinite rebound). By the end of it, Teams 1 and 3 were already
putting up their close contest (70, 69). Team 6 (51) was close behind while 4
and 5 were tied (40). The next written round gave a small breather before the
deathmatch began. The second IR had its multiple -5s taken by teams on the
wrong pounces, even a 7 and 3 as points were conserved on passing. The teams
were neck-to-neck throughout though by the end of it, the negatives had got Team
1 from a comfortable lead back to a one-point loss over Team 3 (98-99). Teams 4
and 6 kept the heat up on the leaders while skirmishing among themselves (80-88).
Then a written round, which did not change much, but this easy round gave some
last-minute fuel to all the teams. In the concluding IR, the status quo
remained. The questions were well-distributed difficulty-wise – where the
players had to earn their points in the later half, but like a corporate HR,
the QM was kind enough to throw in the written rounds as bonuses to keep us
chugging along. It was thoroughly enjoyable and built up a good appetite for
lunch without exhausting anybody. Much fun was had.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: small;"><span>One thing to note is that the QM kept good time, such that we were done
in time for lunch (of famous kathi rolls from Kapila) so that the next quiz could begin on time. Kudos to him for that too!</span></span></p>

flagship event of the annual BCQC quiz fest, InFest, is a Mastermind-style quiz
in which participants choose a specialized topic on which they are asked ten
questions. They play against everyone else, who collectively form the 'Mob'.
The participant gets +1 per correct answer, and -0.5 for every answer they
pass/get incorrect and the Mob answers correctly.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #0e101a;">This year we had 28
sets and a new venue <span> </span>– </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span>Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan Pune</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #0e101a;">. InFestYouUs 2024 also featured several debutants from colleges
around Pune and Open quizzers from other states.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #0e101a;">This year’s winners
were Annway Ghosh and Arnold D’Souza, both scored 9 straight with the Mob not
answering anything. Annway’s topic was History of the Electric Guitar, set by
Thejaswi Udupa and Arnold’s was The Wars of the Roses, set by Kunal Sawardekar. Once
again debutants showed their mettle at InFestYouUs in Annway’s performance.
Arnold’s mastery of his topic was well-appreciated. In second place is the
upcoming master of quizzing circuits, Ranajeet Soman, fondly called “Rana”. Rumours
say that this year the IOC finally gave him his topic of Travis (the Band). In
this set by Aditya Gadre, Rana scored a straight 8, with the Mob not getting
anything (answers or the music). In third place too, we had a tie. Another
debutant, Meghana Iyengar from the IISER quiz club, scored a straight 7 in Kanye West’s
Discography and Personal Life set by Pranav Pawar with the Mob
not answering anything. She tied with Abhinav Dasgupta, a frequent of these
reports. He answered 8, with the Mob answering in 2, for a 7 in his favour. His
topic was Latin American Literature of the 20<sup>th</sup> Century set by
Sachin “Talent” Deshpande.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #0e101a;">Like every year,
this year too we had diverse topics including Peppa Pig Official, Marathi
Poetry of the 20<sup>th</sup> Century, The NBA Career of Michael Jordan, the
Bijapur Sultanate, Etymology of Names of World Capitals just to name a few. The
Mob, whose numbers during the course of the session swelled to above 40, even
won a few sets.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #0e101a;">A sincere thank you
to the huge number of quiz-setters for setting such excellent sets for
InFestYouUs. The participants for showing up and staying with us, and the

A 28 question final to determine the winner.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b>Report</b></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The 14th edition of the BC Cup took place at the Boat Club steps on the 13th of May, 2023 - one of the hottest day of the year. The heat and perhaps the QFI event the next day saw a slightly diminished participation at this year's edition. </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The elims was a close affair as usual and the biggest surprise was Ingit sir not qualifying for the second year in a row. One big surprise was that Dada (aka Anannya Deb) didn't make it - and by that I mean the most consistent performer at BC Cup didn't show up at all. Prithwish Datta lived up to his wounded tiger billing by putting in an imperious 21/30 to top the elims, while Rotti got 18. It was also nice to be debutants Titash and Bissanka make it to the quarter finals. </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b>The Quarter Finals</b></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The top 8 in the quarter finals were:</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Suraj Menon, Prithwish Datta, Rohit Suresh (Rotti), Bissanka Dassarma, Titash Bannerjea, Deepanjan Deb (DD), Samrat Sengupta and Sachin 'Talent' Deshpande, </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">All the quarter finalists except for Titash started on rocky ground with most people failing to build together some momentum. Titash on the other hand blazed to 5 points after a mere 15 questions. Slowly but surely the experience and class of the field shone through with Boss casually dispatching some extremely tough name recalls, Suraj and Talent working their rank 2 and 3 in Mahaquizzer gen quizzing chops to brilliantly work out answers, and DD, as always, pulling out some gems. Towards the end, multiple results were possible with 7/8 quizzers in contention after 50 odd questions. In the end, Titash topped the QF with Boss close behind to secure their places in the Semi Final. There was a 3 way tie between Suraj, Talent and DD - and a 3 question tie-breaker saw DD cut out a correct answer which would have forced a sudden death, and Suraj and Talent got the other two SF slots . One point of note is that 55 of the 60 questions were answered - which is testament to the quality of the field at play. </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b>The Semi Finals: </b></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The top 4 were: Suraj, Boss, Titash and Talent </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">This was one of the closest Semi-finals in recent memory with all semi-finalists regularly scoring points. Suraj had pulled away to a good lead at the beginning but over time the others caught up. There were a few questions where the quizzers would feel like they should have gone with their first guess or have taken the obvious answer - and things might have ended differently. On the last question Suraj had 6 points with all 3 other semi finalists on 5. Boss missed his direct and Suraj answered forcing another 3-way tiebreaker. Talent lost out in the main tie break and then Titash beat Boss after a lengthy sudden death to book his place in the final on his debut BC Cup </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b><br /></b></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b>The Finals:</b></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Suraj won the toss and decided to go second. Titash unfortunately missed a question on cricket - a sport he is exceptiopnal at - and Suraj got off to an early lead. In the second round Suraj answered two questions on his direct and in the second home round for Titash, Suraj pulled a great name recall on an old Japanese athlete. Titash did pull one back on his last home leg, but by then Suraj had built up an insurmountable lead. Suraj won the finals 4-1. </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Many congratulations to Suraj for winning his 5th BC Cup! </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b>BC Cup Winner 2023: Suraj Menon </b></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b>Runner Up: Titash Bannerjea </b></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b>List of BC Cup Winners:</b></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">2009: Sameer Deshpande and Suraj Menon</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">2010: Anannya Deb</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">2011: Anannya Deb</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">2012: Sumant Srivathsan</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">2013: Ramkey V</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">2014: Prithwish Datta</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">2015: Samrat Sengupta</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">2016: Shrirang Raddi</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">2017: Suraj Menon</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">2018: Suraj Menon</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">2019: Prithwish Datta</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">2020: No tournament</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">2021: Deepanjan Deb</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">2022: Suraj Menon</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">2023: Suraj Menon</p>Unknownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00012074900274720015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-77941233253445891932023-02-13T12:06:00.009+05:302023-02-13T15:47:44.664+05:30The Open Team Quiz | InFest 2023<p>Date: 23 January 2023, Sunday, Day 2 of InFest 2023<br />Venue: COEP's BHAU Institute<br />Format: Elims + Finals<br />QM: Aditya Gadre, Debanjan Bose, Sachin ‘Talent’ Deshpande, and Ranajeet Soman<br /><br />Team 1 – Prithwish Dutta (Boss), Nikhil Sonde and Anuradha Dharwadkar (draft)<br />Team 2 – Kunal Sawardekar, Shivam Sharma and Malhar Patel (draft)<br />Team 3 - Vibhendu, Rajiv Rai and Abhishek Hariharan (draft)<br />Team 4 - Omkar D, Pranav Pawar, Pranjal (draft)<br />Team 5 - Meghashyam, Nadeem and Anisha Karnail (draft)<br />Team 6 - Suraj, Anannya Deb and Anmol Dhawan (draft)<br /><br />The last quiz of InFest 2023 was a general quiz by Aditya Gadre, Debanjan Bose, Sachin ‘Talent’ Deshpande, and Ranajeet Soman.<br />The quiz kicked off with a nice and accessible elims set that covered a wide range of topics and included some absolute gems that were worthy of being in the finals too.<br /><br />The finals were a great set of questions kicking off with a small written round on famous speeches, before segueing into a phenomenal set of questions covering topics ranging from a famous Oxford bequest to sex symbol Gina Lollobrigida interviewing Castro, political arrangements in Cyprus, Christian subsects, Ruskin Bond’s autobiography and the origins of Krumping among others.<br />While the excellent coverage (this literally was a quiz that had something for everyone) meant most teams were in the hunt, the real fight was between teams 2 and 3 who battled it out pretty much from start to finish, with team 3 prevailing on the last question to eke out a narrow win<br />All in all, much fun was had and it was a fitting end to cap off what was a great InFest weekend<br /><br />Note: The report writer blames the twin malaise of procrastination and old age for forgetting the name of the draft pick in Kunal and Shivam’s team.

We had our usual mix of 6 teams that qualify directly and 3 teams making up draft picks - with the shocker being that Suraj and Rana didn't make it. <br /><br />The final had 2 written rounds and 2 IR rounds - with what has now become the standard Kunal Variation of the Infinite Pounce system. Pounces remain infinite but there are only a finite number of pounces at a reasonable neg available to teams. All other pounces are at a -20 risk. Team 1 started strongly and kept their lead throughout the quiz - nonchalantly swatting away hardcore fundas and most of the time not even using their free pounces - ending up with multiple -20s which makes their performance all the more impressive. <br /><br />Team 3 was neck and neck for most of the quiz - before Team 1 pulled away in the second half. Team 3 eventually lost steam with Team 4 catching up and just pipping them to 2nd place with a strong finish to the quiz. Anisha from Team 4 particularly gave some crackers to keep their scoreboard ticking. <br /><br />Overall the fundas were excellent and wide-ranging - and for such a niche topic, extremely accessible. <br /><br />The quiz maintained its reputation and high standards in this edition as well - and it was very generous of the Ragde family to sponsor a few prizes as well. </p><p><i>Report by: Aditya Gadre</i><br /></p>Omkar Dhakephalkarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16468952343483109101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-51881922948716248712023-02-04T15:46:00.003+05:302023-03-27T23:57:24.024+05:30The Solo Quiz at InFest 2023<p><b style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Quiz:</b><span face="Verdana, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 13px;"> </span><span face="Verdana, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 13px;">Solo Quiz</span></p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b>Date: </b>21 January 2023, Saturday, Day 1 of InFest 2023<br /><b>Venue: </b>COEP's BHAU Institute<br /><b>Format:</b> Elims + Semis + Finals<br /><b>QM:</b> Vibhendu Tiwari and Rajiv Rai</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b>Results:</b><br />1.

After a relatively high-scoring elims (you do not want Ranajeet to start complaining about difficulty of the elims questions on Twitter - trust me on this), 12 participants qualified for the semi-final round. Participants elims points were doubled to form an opening score for the semi-final round which took place immediately following. The semis were relatively high-scoring with plenty of pounces and by the end Suraj, Gadre, Prithwish, Sania, Ranajeet and Abhinav beat out the rest of the filed to qualify for the finals.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The semi-final scores continued through to the finals, where the answers were worth 15 points to compensate for the increased difficulty. Sania had some amazing pounces and great answers through the semis but Gadre and DG surged back in the finals to take second and third places. Suraj maintained his spectacular run of form and dominated the quiz throughout with the outcome for the first place never really being in doubt.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Overall, I really enjoyed the quiz - the questions were accessible, easy-to-understand (I cannot overstate how nice it is not to have to parse through dense blocks of text on the ppt) and above all, interesting. I really appreciated how both quiz setters from across the Sahyadris made an effort to ask questions with some great fundas on Pune.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">This quiz has set a high standard for the next edition of the Solo Quiz (I'm not saying which year because I don't want to jinx it as Ranajeet did with his 2020 report), but we are confident that the winner(s) of the 2023 edition are quite up to the task.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><i>(This post has been updated to correct the person at the second runner-up position - our apologies to DG and Prithwish)</i></p>Kunalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16145197090585110100noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-39079885178241250862023-01-26T02:41:00.004+05:302023-01-26T02:41:55.825+05:30InFestYouUs 2023 | InFest 2023<p> InFestYouUs, the flagship event of the annual InFest, is a Mastermind-style quiz in which participants choose a specialized topic on which they are asked ten questions. They play against everyone else, who collectively form the 'Mob'. The participant gets +1 per correct answer, and -0.5 for every answer they pass/get incorrect and the Mob answers correctly.<br /> <br />This year we had 30 sets and a large Mob. Everybody was ready for a great start to InFest and the quizzes did not disappoint.<br /><br />This year’s winner was was <b>Jayant Pande</b> with an 8 out of 10 (Urdu Poetry at the Court of Bahadur Shah Zafar set by Suraj Menon). This was Jayant Pande’s debut at InFestYouUs and he gave some brilliant answers in a brilliantly set quiz. The Mob got did not answer anything in his set. There was a two-way tie for second place. At 7.5 points we had <b>Vibhendu Tewari</b> (Hindi Music Directors Pairs set by Anannya Deb) and <b>Prithwish Datta</b> (Couples from the World of Art set by Rajiv Rai). In both cases, they answered 8 each with Mob stealing half a point of their tallies. There were times when Vibhendu answered even before the question was finished in the full-of-songs set by Anannya. And Rajiv’s full-of-visuals set had everyone but Prithwish scratching their heads. Pune-boy <b>Kunal Sawardekar</b> bagged the third spot (Canadian Prime Ministers by Abhinav Dasgupta). The Mob was left in a Canadian chill as Kunal showed his mastery over Anglo and Quebecois history.<br /><br /> A special mention must be made of Aniket Khasgiwale, Suraj Menon, and Sumant Srivathsan for stepping in and giving us some excellent sets when quizmasters backed out. Thank you!<br /><br /> A sincere thank you to the huge number of quiz-setters for setting such diverse and excellent sets for InFestYouUs. The participants for showing up and staying with us, and the awesome Mob all deserve praise. I would be remiss in thanking the professors and coordinators at the College of Engineering, Pune. The technicians who helped us, we thank you too. And of course members of the COEP quiz club, including Srinivas.

at College of Engineering Pune was a momentous affair as it saw the return of BC
Cup back in its in-person avatar and a general quiz by Suraj Menon which was
billed as a set on his favorite topics. The venue for the general quiz was the
well-equipped Kirloskar Auditorium in BHAU Institute which saw a great turnout
(over 25+ teams).</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span lang="EN-US">The elims kicked off with
a wonderful audio question paying tribute to two beloved Punekars. There were
thirty such succinctly framed questions and it was a thoroughly enjoyable set filled
with great fundaes centered majorly around things one might’ve heard/read
about.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span lang="EN-US">The cutoff was 19 out of a
possible 30, with top score being an impressive 24. Top 8 teams made it to the
finals and one draft was added to each team. Finals had 46 questions divided
into four rounds – Two written and two IR. First written round was a set of 10
questions loosely themed on veteran quizzers in the circle. Loved the concept
and how each answer was tied to the interests/monikers/team-names of quizzers.
IRs covered a wide array of topics and allayed concerns (if any) that it will
be specifically focused on QM’s pet topics, which I guess, speaks highly of his
diverse interests. Notable ones being the concept behind design of martini
glass and the modern usage of a symbol depicted on the shields of hoplites. Teams
8 and 7 built a massive lead in the first written round and maintained it until
the end of the quiz securing top 2 spots. Team 5 which began leisurely in the
first two rounds, staged a brilliant comeback in the written sports and IR-2 to
take the third position.</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span lang="EN-US">Overall, a brilliant quiz
put together by Suraj with wonderfully framed questions. There was an entire
written round on Sports, but the framing and clues were sufficient to arrive at
the answer and served as a great aperitif for the event on the following day.
And as is the case with his other quizzes, there were no pritams (peter kon?)
in the entire quiz.</span></p>

A 28 question final to determine the winner.</p><p><b>Report</b></p><p>The 13th edition of the BC Cup saw a return to the Boat Club steps after a brief online sojourn on account of the pandemic last year. </p><p>The elims was an even affair and threw its fair share of surprises as long time BC Cup veteren and perennial favourite Ingit sir didn't qualify, and last years winner Deepanjan Deb (aka DD) just about scraped through with the cut off 12.5 points. Samrat Sengupta lived up to his moniker of Sabse Bada BC and topped the elims with a whopping 19 points. </p><p><b>The Quarter Finals</b></p><p>The top 8 in the quarter finals were:</p><p>Anannya Deb, Gokul, Prithwish Datta, Suraj Menon, Sachin 'Talent' Deshpande, Deepanjan Deb (DD), Samrat Sengupta and Rohit Suresh (Rotti) </p><p>The quarter finals were extremely even this year with the most of the 8 participants remaining in the fray till the last few questions. Talent and DD started strongly, but Rotti and Sammy sir soon caught up. Boss had a surprisingly off day and missed questions on his pet topics - cricket, india and olympics. Dada was trailing for the longest time but his range helped him get stuff nobody else knew and suddenly he was within a point of qualification. Suraj and Gokul started slowly but picked up momentum in the second half and clawed their way to the top. At one point we had Talent and Rotti comfortably through, with all other participants within a point of each other and fighting for the other two spots. DD had a few classic DD moments where he forgot the name of a TT player he is a megafan of and displayed his inner SIIMIA by missing all the India questions. In the end, Sammy sir, Suraj and Gokul were tied on 6 points with DD and Dada on 5 - all with a chance to enter the semi finals along with Rotti and Talent. Sammy sir duly swatted away a football question and booked his spot - leaving Suraj and Gokul to fight it out in a tiebreaker. The first tiebreaker round of 3 questions ended with both at 1 pt each, but in the next sudden death round, Suraj answered a chess question that Gokul missed and took the last spot in the semi-final. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>The Semi Finals: </b></p><p>The top 4 were: Rotti, Suraj, Sammy sir and Talent </p><p>The semi-final was one of the lowest scoring and (thus fastest run) semi in BC Cup history with all 4 players struggling to get off the mark for the longest time. Finally everyone got going but it was extremely even for the longest time. Everyone missed questions that would be called their strong points - with Sammy missing football questions, Rotti missing NBA questions and Suraj missing cricket questions all the way. Going into the last question we had Rotti and Sammy on 3 points each and Suraj and Talent on 4 points each. Talent answered his direct and entered the BC Cup final on his debut. </p><p><b>The Finals:</b></p><p>Talent in his debut at the BC Cup went up against 3 time winner Suraj playing his 6th final. Talent won the toss and took an early lead answering a tough cricket question, but Suraj immediately brought back the pressure by answering the very next question to score a crucial away goal. The next set was all un-answered - and Talent will kick himself for missing questions on 3 of his pet topics - women's cricket, Italian football and the Tour de France. Needless to say the real winner was the audience who - operating in a pack and without the pressure or fatigue our finalists were dealing with answered most questions. Suraj followed up with 2 excellent answers on his home stretch including one particularly clutch pull on the third last question - a tough cricket name recall which Talent knew immediately. In the end Suraj won seemingly comfortably 3-1 but it must be said there were moments through the quarters and semis where Talent seemed like the strongest quizzer in the best form. Perhaps the atmosphere, the over-whelming home support and the sheer fatigue that one learns to manage thorugh experience helped Suraj pull out a memorable win in one off the most closely contested and competitive BC Cups in years. </p><p>Many congratulations to Suraj for winning a scarcely believable 4th BC Cup! </p><p><b>BC Cup Winner 2022: Suraj Menon </b></p><p><b>Runner Up: Sachin 'Talent' Deshpande </b></p><p><br /></p><p><b>List of BC Cup Winners:</b></p><p>2009: Sameer Deshpande and Suraj Menon</p><p>2010: Anannya Deb</p><p>2011: Anannya Deb</p><p>2012: Sumant Srivathsan</p><p>2013: Ramkey V</p><p>2014: Prithwish Datta</p><p>2015: Samrat Sengupta</p><p>2016: Shrirang Raddi</p><p>2017: Suraj Menon</p><p>2018: Suraj Menon</p><p>2019: Prithwish Datta</p><p>2020: No tournament</p><p>2021: Deepanjan Deb</p><p>2022: Suraj Menon</p>Unknownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00012074900274720015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-18298013060605143692022-10-30T14:33:00.003+05:302022-10-30T14:33:45.154+05:30BCQC October Open Quiz Report: Mumbai-Pune-Mumbai<p>The BCQC October Open was set by the suave duo of
quizmasters Akshay Parale and Naman Jain with questions on “Mumbai, Pune and
everything in between.” The venue for the quiz was the Kirloskar Auditorium at
the Bhau Institute located in the campus of the College of Engineering, Pune,
just adjacent to the BC steps. The venue, secured thanks to the efforts of
Srinivas from COEP, was well-equipped with all the necessities that a quiz club
wants and more; and will hopefully see more quizzing in the recent future.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The quiz started at 11.45 am with twelve teams of two
attempting a 25-question preliminary set with a total of 29 points for grabs.
Eight out of twelve teams present consisted of undergraduate college students.
The preliminary round was well set, with questions on temples, personalities,
buildings, art, culture and even rare minerals (yes, you read that right). The
difficulty level was fairly balanced, with most questions being workable. The
prelims ended with a top score of 21 out of 29.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The prelims were followed by lunch (thoughtfully coordinated
by the quizmasters). Members of teams staying back were drafted into the top
seven teams for the finals. The finals consisted of two written and two
infinite rebound rounds. The infinite rebound rounds had 16 questions each and
were notable for both their range and depth. There were hardly any peters in
the quiz, and the questions reflected the enormous amount of research that had
gone into setting the quiz – particularly notable in questions from the Peshwai
and colonial eras of Pune, including details of a particular kind of surgery
performed in the 1790s and the ingredients of an aloe vera jam from the 1870s.
The quiz proceeded rather smoothly, apart from few technical A/V glitches.
Akshay and Naman had a good control over the proceedings of the quiz and
ensured that it finished within the stipulated time, to allow for the
ceremonial post-quiz trip to the local watering hole. It was a tight battle
between the top two teams, which at one point in the quiz were separated only
by <i>half a point</i>. The battle for third place was also hotly contested by
three teams, all within five points of each other.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some of the questions were a bit wordy and there was scope
for some text-trimming, but there wasn’t much else in the quiz to find fault
with.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All in all, it was a fantastic quiz and was unanimously
enjoyed by the participants. I’m sure the Boat Club Quiz Club is looking
forward to more quizzes by Akshay and Naman.<o:p></o:p></p>

At the end of the elims answers, Suraj revealed a surprise – that the elims were not an elimination at all – but just a written round to determine the teams in the finals, and that all present would take part in the finals. </p><p>We thus ended up with 6 teams of about 5 people each in the finals. The final were structured like a day of Test Cricket – 3 sessions of 20 questions each. You had 4 DRS attempts i.e. pounces available in each session. The limited pounce made the quiz very nice and easy going, and also kept it moving along at a nice clip. We finished the quiz in 3 hours which was really remarkable in terms of time management – for we, as participants never felt rushed or pressured to give answers quickly. If the elims were good, the finals were even better – a number of excellent questions and fundas. There were a few peters and simple ones there but hey, this was 90 questions set by one <cough splutter> retired quizzer. </p><p>As for the quiz itself, Team 2 took a couple of early negs on the pounce, while Teams 1 and 6 chugged along to build up a bit of a lead. At the end of the first session, the quiz was extremely close with most teams separated by 2-3 questions – Team 1 having a narrow lead over Team 6. Much like Test cricket -where things can change quickly and a team can own one session and collapse in the next, session 2 mixed things up quite a bit. Team 2 made a roaring comeback and Team 6 were clinical as they went into the sole lead, while things unraveled a bit for Team 1 with 3 consecutive negs on the pounce. At the end of the 2nd session it seemed like Team 6 would take this out with some fight possible from Team 2. </p><p>But yet again, session 3 threw up some more surprises. Team 2 collapsed this time and Team was a bit too conservative with their pounces – Team 1 kept getting points by supplying the full answers on at least 3 occasions. By the end, Team 1 won comfortably by 50 pts. </p><p>All in all, it was a great leisurely day of quizzing, with minimal SMQ bullshit – peak Pune quizzing style. </p><div><br /></div>Unknownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00012074900274720015noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-52370615410190882272022-06-25T22:01:00.004+05:302022-06-25T22:01:56.061+05:30AFMC Silhouettes 2022 - MELA Quiz Report<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">Quiz: </span></b><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">The MELA Quiz<b><br />

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">The second quiz at Silhouettes was the first one on the second day. It
was a MELA quiz and my partner was none other than celebrated social media
sensation and poet Shivam Sharma of the Manasarovar Project fame. In that way,
I was lucky, because I am not a MELA person. And the results showed that.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">We were promised that the quiz will start on time, and it did after the
promised 45 minutes of delay. I believe the QMs were making the questions till
the last moment :P The elims were a short one, about 20/25 questions. This was
the first time the QMs were hosting an open, and though the questions were not
conventionally “crisp” they were not at all “bad”. The sheer breadth of the
quiz was commendable. We were not too nervous about qualifying, but the elims
were definitely not a cakewalk. This is despite there being multiple hints in
the questions – perhaps they made it more difficult? Paradox?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">Six teams qualified for the finals which were composed of two IRs, one
long connect, and two connects. The IRs were diverse. Answers ranging from
Highway to Hell to Elden Ring were part of the quiz. There may have been a bias
away from Art though. We lost out on a couple of sitters. Chestnuts like
Passage to India and Madras Eye also made an appearance. The long connect was a
bad miss and we got negs on it. The answer to that would make a reappearance at
the Shyam Bhatt Open. However, this quiz had an option of “doubling” i.e.
double the scores for a correct answer/pounce but also double the negatives.
This enabled us to bounce back. The elemental connect was a Bollywood one which
we missed.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">I liked the fact that the quiz was catered to the college audience in
general – anime, computer games, the lot. This is the right direction to go in
rather than cater to the same old open quizzers. Props for that. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">Towards the end, it was a close match depending on whether a team got
negatives or not. We won by a barely-any lead. A commendable performance by
first-time QMs, and a very enjoyable quiz.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The elims was short, crisp and easy. This was important as
there were many first-time college quizzers. Though the open quizzers might
have thought it too easy; for the college quizzers that might not be the case.
This is not to say that the questions were ill-framed. The hints were couched in
excellent wording. The quizmaster was also quite strict about various doubts
and arguments and knew exactly what he wanted. Out of 25, we scored about
22/23. This was not the highest, Piyush and Shubham scored higher!</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">There was one seat of the six finalists reserved for a
college team. Unfortunately the team that qualified was not to be seen
anywhere, so it was thrown open.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">There is one complaint regarding the finals though: it
was on the shorter side. Though I understand why it was a good idea: it was in
the evening, we had two quizzes before, plus shorter quizzers also help
maintain interest of a college crowd. There was a total of 30 odd questions in
the finals: two IRs of 6 questions each, a written and the final round.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Overall, there was a fine balance. I was afraid it would
be Bollywood or Sports heavy as they are the QM’s pet subjects, but that was
not the case. We did swimmingly well for the first part.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The last round was very sweet and dedicated to prominent
quizzers and friends of the Pune circuit who passed away last year – Vcat Srinivasan
and Rahul Mohanty. Naman had created sets of two questions divided into two
sets of three each for a total of twelve. They were based on topics which Rahul
and Vcat were generally interested in. The questions were nice, and a worthy
tribute to the two quizzers.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Unfortunately, despite a lead at a point, and even a
chance at a close second, the last round did our team in. It is true what they
say regarding you need only one question for a steady scoring stream to
stagnate. But the last round also had negatives. Stagnation quickly turned into
a downward spiral worse than the Indian economy and we did not finish even in
the top three. No matter, there will always be more quizzes.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">At the end, it was an enjoyable quiz and we had a lot of
fun. Thank you, VIT, and QSoc for such a nice quizzing weekend!</p>

So I accompanied my partner-in-quiz, Pranav Pawar to this quiz at VIT Pune, part of their quiz-fest. As Naman, one of the QMs was at pains to point it out, it was an Ent quiz, not a MELA quiz. So we had TV series, movies, Bolly and Holly, and even Instagram Reels questions, the latter of which is one of the most innovative rounds I have seen so far.<br />The elims were nice and short. There were a couple of googlies which did bowl us over. However, it was a high-scoring round, especially for the Open teams. That is not to say there were sitters. Ent was expanded to include things like the Met Gala, Elon Musk and Amul Ads and other unexpected subject matter. This brought in a nice tinge of gen to the quiz.<br /> <br />The finals were a short one – comprised of 12 questions in IR in six rounds, interspersed with two written and a surprise round. The questions had breadth, without going into the L and A categories of a traditional MELA quiz, sticking to Ent. Some of the questions required clarifications, and here the QM might have been a bit too harsh or abrasive in dismissing those. But the questions were good.<br /> <br />The written rounds certainly showed innovation. One round was based on memes (definitely the new Ent mainstay in today’s world), and another regarding references from Ted Lasso. The latter had answers from sports, history and even lit. Hard work was seen.<br /> <br />The last round saw the return of buzzers to quizzing. This was enabled using mobile phones and an online software. On Instagram Reels, there is a trend where creators dress up like movie characters and act out famous scenes. We had to recognize the famous scene/dialogue after the beginning of the reel was given. on buzzer At this point, there was a tie, but my team-mate Pranav Pawar pulled out a brilliant masterstroke of answer and we pipped Piyush’s team by 10 points. This was fun, and the buzzer effect of anxiety definitely heightened the joy of the win for us. With just five questions, it was not an unfairly scored round too.<br /> <br />We had a lot of fun and kudos to all three QMs for their research, innovation, and hard work.</p><p><i>Report by: Omkar Dhakephalkar </i><br /></p>Omkar Dhakephalkarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16468952343483109101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-3347073453780198082022-06-22T16:37:00.003+05:302022-06-25T21:58:40.870+05:30Maharashtra Quiz at VIT Pune - Report<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span>Quiz: </span></b><span>The Maharashtra Quiz<b><br />

</span><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">A thirty-question
set to begin a day of quizzing is always a good idea. Especially if it is
written. However, if the topic is “Maharashtra”, one gets apprehensive. On top
of that, the QM is among QSoc’s first timers. However, I am happy to report
that Aatreya did an excellent job. And fear that the quiz will be niche was
unfounded.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">The quiz was divided
into bite-sized themes of five questions: Geography, Food, Forts, Current
Events etc. All of the questions were wonderfully framed with plenty of hints
such that even a non-Maharashtrian, and non-Marathi person would get it. The
gen quotient was such that one of the answers was “Pompeii”, and another was
the etymology of “Thecha”, and a fort answer was “Kondana”. The scores were predictably
high due to the presence of Open teams. But, even college teams were not far
behind – in the early twenties. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">Personally, I
got to exercise my Devnagari writing skills, and understood the necessity of
following upcoming Marathi movies (missed out Anand Dighe). Despite mike
issues, there was not a large loss of momentum. If any gripe, I would have
liked the QM to be surer about and while answering doubts – but kudos once
again to QSoc for giving us a variety of QMs, them a chance too. Aatreya’s swadeshi
attire added to the charm of the proceedings. Good quiz. </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;"><i>Report by: Omkar Dhakephalkar</i> <br /></span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">The afternoon
quiz meant that everybody was a bit sleepy, and it was hot. However the energy
and excitement brought in by the quizmaster helped energize everyone. This was
a first-time QM and, in that capacity, the quiz was not bad. It was highly
enjoyable. I daresay it was easy (the winning scores were in the range of
27-29). This, however, does not take away from the quiz. It served as a
delicious appetizer to the main open later in the evening.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">The quiz was
helpfully divided into various sections (last names, businesses, etc.) and that
helped narrow down the guesses. There were many easy questions which could be
missed with a bit of overthinking, speaking to the framing of the question. At
one question, a dispute was raised, however, the quizmaster handled it
valiantly and it was extinguished with ease.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">All-in-all, a
very enjoyable quiz and kudos to QSoc to giving opportunities to new QMs and
quizzers and to Vaishnav for a pleasant afternoon quiz.</span></p>

The annual event commemorates AFMC alumnus Shyam Bhatt and as usual his batchmates were on hand to share their memories of him.<br /><br />The quiz started with a nice easy-paced (but by no means easy-peasy) elims which covered a wide range of topics and resulting in seven teams making it, because nice guy JR did not want to ditch a team on stars.<br /><br />The finals had 28 questions on the pass with pounce and 3 written rounds. The first written round was contributed by Shrirang Raddi and in tribute to Shyam Bhatt was about events that occurred in the year 1986 (with some debate as to whether it should have been 1985).<br />The two pounce rounds were interspersed by a written round on capitals (with the five answers forming an acrostic). Having a -10 on pounce meant a lot of the teams on stage were forced into a degree of conservatism – with not too many takers for pounce. The lead yo-yo ed between 3 teams on stage (with your report writer in particular suffering two mishaps in the second IR round). As with any JR quiz, the questions were superbly framed and covered a wide array of topics ranging from the origins of a famous Indian singer’s family name from a mangled cry for help by Parvati, a wide array of goalkeepers famous in other fields, materials used for billiard balls. As with any JR quiz, the content though superb did prompt the odd complaint about there being a slight heavy-handedness on India quotient.<br />Which brings us to the last round – titled Jaanta Hain Mera Baap Kaun Hain – with a quirky format – teams would be given three clues one by one and had to guess who the father of the person the clues pointed to was. Having negatives and the ability to go only once per question (this was also a tiebreaker round in case two teams tied) - meant that things got super interesting with Suraj and Arnold’s team tying with Shashank and partner and pipping them to the post on points scored in the last round. One minor crib was that perhaps by design the first clue was often too obscure (2/5 questions had Oscar clues that didn’t necessarily help narrow down to one answer) but I guess that’s the way the cookie crumbles sometimes.</span></p><p><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><i>Report by: Suraj Menon</i><br /></span></p>Omkar Dhakephalkarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16468952343483109101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-17677986065505486162022-06-20T19:47:00.002+05:302022-06-20T20:03:36.800+05:30Sports Quiz at AFMC - Report<p><b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Date

For everyone who attended the sports quiz at AFMC this year, they were pleased to see this myth getting debunked like a ramp shot from Jos Buttler's blade. Think of all the reasons for not attending a quiz: middle of a pandemic, weekday and a god awful heatwave. Despite this, we had a full house for the event with 24-25 teams showing up (a rarity for sports quizzes apart from BC Cup).<br /><br />Elims were an enjoyable affair with 20 crisp workable questions, also reflected in the fact that the cut off for the finals was 10.5 with many teams scoring between the range of 8-10. A trend that I have observed in this QM's other quizzes is that his sets are well-framed and cater to a large audience. So everyone attending any of his quizzes will always have something to look forward to.<br /><br />Finals comprised of 23 questions with 12 questions on IR, a written round of 5 and a theme round of 6 six questions. Just like the elims, those who stayed on for the finals were treated with some lovely well- researched questions. Loved the distribution of the set knowing that roughly 30+ sports were covered. My only crib was that the number of questions in the finals (23) was way too less for an Open quiz. But owing to the quality of the questions that was still justifiable.<br /><br />Kudos to the QM for putting up an excellent theme round on 'Songs of Sid Moosewaala'; which for me was the highlight of the quiz. Song titles were linked to iconic moments in sporting history through keywords. As for the performance in the quiz almost 3-4 teams were in the scheme of winning the quiz right till the last question where a last minute epiphany helped yours truly to finally win an Open sports quiz by a small margin of 5 points with the open team of Sahil and Shivam tied at 2nd place with the home team Giridhar and Saurabh. All in all, everyone had a great time and were happy just knowing that offline quizzing is back in Pune!</span></p><p><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><i>Report by: Akshay Parale</i><br /></span></p>Omkar Dhakephalkarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16468952343483109101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-37302865966626986782022-05-19T19:39:00.004+05:302022-05-19T19:46:26.032+05:30FAQs - BCQC Informal Sessions<p>Wish to attend a BCQC Informal Sunday session?

</p><p>The Boat Club Quizzing Team of the Year 2022 was held on 1st May, 2022 at VIT Pune. The quizmaster was Omkar Dhakephalkar.<br /><br />With nine teams turning up for the prelims, it was decided that scores will be carried forward to the finals. There were 25 questions in the prelims.<br /><br />The team from SLS topped prelims with 13.5, followed by the cross-college team of VIT and AFMC at 12.5. <br /><br />Finals had a unique theme as Omkar decided to turn the clock back and included rounds which he had endured during his college quizzing days. Long Visual Connects, List It, Amul Hits - his set had them all. The finals Were like Tour De France, with the variety of rounds analogous to different stages.<br />The scoring pattern of the IRs was also beguiling as it allowed the finalists to take risks and reap bigger rewards in return. There was a system of doubling on pounce and bounce if you were sure. This would grant double the points, but correspondingly raised penalties if you were wrong.<br /><br />Ritoban and Chinmay from SLS raced ahead, early in the finals, and garnered a lead which everyone thought would be impregnable. Giridhar and Saurabh from AFMC were in a comfortable second position. However, dynamics changed in the last two rounds and Sagnik and Naman came from nowhere to win the quiz by a slender margin, after playing aggressively and taking risks. Ritoban and Chinmay finished second while Giridhar and Saurabh came third. Prajot and Atharva from COEP finished a close fourth.<i></i></p><p><i></i></p><div style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;"><b>Report by:</b> Naman Jain</span></i><span style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;"></span>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">After a long (and relatively dry) hiatus of 2 years, we
finally had the annual BCQC College Quizzer of the Year competition in a
physical setting. Held in VIT, the solo quiz was held after the Teams quiz with
a small lunch break in between. <br /></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The Prelims were relatively long with 27 questions,
consisting of 21 single pointers and 6 double pointers. Floyd took special
efforts to keep the prelims as general as possible, with minimal amount of
obscure fundaes. The prelims cut-off was surprisingly low at 7, probably because we had 8 teams in finals. </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The finals consisted of four rounds - 2 Written rounds
and 2 IRs.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The finals started with a 6-question set on 'Typography'.
As opposed to what the subject choice may have you believe, it was a very accessible
set with well framed questions. Next, we had the IR Round with 12 questions in
total, which consisted of some very brilliant answers by participants on
equally brilliant questions. </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">After this we had a Floyd special written round on Food
with 5 questions, presented with his signature style. Chinmay from SLS was
leading towards most of the first half of the quiz, followed by Prajot and
Ritoban from SLS. </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">In the final round of Reverse IR however, a decent number
of pounces by Prajot and Ritwik of AFMC ensured that the former finished on
top, followed by Chinmay in second place, and Ritwik and Ritoban tied for third
place. Omkar Dhakephalkar took the initiative of resolving the tie with a
question set. This went on for some time before a brilliant answer by Ritwik
ensured that he sealed the finish.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">All in all, it was a great ‘welcome back’ to physical
quizzing with appreciable efforts taken by Omkar and Floyd, along with other
behind-the-scenes personnel. Special thanks also to Naman for providing the
venue.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><i></i></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><i><span style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;"><b>Report by:</b> Prajot Patne</span></i><span style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;"></span></p>

The quiz was held in memory of Vcat (a prominent and unforgettable BCQC quizzer) who tragically passed away last year. One minute of Iron Maiden was a nice tribute to someone who was always larger than life and a minute of silence would have just been wrong. <br /><br />The quiz started with a fast paced elims which resulted in a predictable bloodbath. The questions, as always, were fun, interesting, wide ranging and very well framed. <br /><br />The top 9 teams qualified for the finals - which had 36 questions on the pass (with pounce) and a short written round. Suraj had set questions based on books he had read over the last year (more or less) and yet, the quiz was extremely well balanced and general - just shows the sheet range of the man's reading and research. <br /><br />There was the added gimmick of teams choosing a book (from a very well formatted array on the screen) and getting a question based on it. The questions were general enough without really requiring any in depth knowledge - and most of them were nicely framed and workoutable. <br /><br />My one small crib was that while the fundas were fantastic, many questions were missing the one clue that would lead one to the answer - which reduced some potentially brilliant questions to merely nice fundas in "Know It Or You Don't' packaging. </p><p><i>Report by: Aditya Gadre</i><br /></p>Omkar Dhakephalkarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16468952343483109101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-78618135903674512692022-01-12T22:31:00.001+05:302022-01-12T22:40:53.196+05:30InFest 2022 | InFestYouUs 2022<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;"> </span></span><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

flagship event of the annual InFest, is a Mastermind-style quiz in which
participants choose a specialized topic on which they are asked ten questions.
They play against everyone else, who collectively form the 'Mob'. The
participant gets +1 per correct answer, and -0.5 for every answer they pass/get
incorrect and the Mob answers correctly.</span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="color: #0e101a;"> </span><span style="color: #0e101a;"> This year we
surpassed all records (so far) with 67 sets spread over a day and a half. With
so many participants and QMs, we had a consistent audience, ready to give
negatives as the Mob, as well as patiently waiting hours for their turn.</span> <br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="color: #0e101a;"> There were two
winners at InFestYouUs 2022 too. At 9/10 were <b>Nikhil Sonde</b> (Nobel Prizes in
Physics set by Sania Narulkar) and <b>Mukilan Ayyapparaj</b> (Akira Kurosawa set by
Avaneendra Bhargav). Both showed how they knew their topics like the back of
their hand, with Nikhil Sonde earning particular praise, being a last-minute
replacement. Mukilan (debut at InFestYouUs) also answered rapidly,
missing only one despite coming close to the answer. The Mob got no opportunity
to score in their sets. <br />At 8 points was <b>Srinath Bhashyam</b> (National Anthems by
Omkar Dhakephalkar) who missed two, without the Mob stealing anything. <br />His
gaddi was not safe however, with a crowd at 7. <b>Abhinav Dasgupta</b>’s keen literature prowess was seen </span><span style="color: #0e101a;"><span style="color: #0e101a;">(The Pulitzer Prize
for Fiction by Vivek Tejuja) </span>as well as
debutant <b>Arjun Siva</b>’s was in the ring </span><span style="color: #0e101a;"><span style="color: #0e101a;">(The History of, and, Contemporary MMA by Atul Mathew)</span>. Another last-minute minute replacement, <b>Ramesh Natarajan</b>
(Cricket Stadiums in India by Venkatesh Srinivasan) also features in the
honourable mentions at 7. They all lost a point to the Mob. <br />Thejaswi Udupa’s
Karnataka Set, Rajiv Rai’s History of Photography in India set and Shubhanker Gokhale’s
Currencies in Circulation sets were particularly appreciated.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="color: #0e101a;"> A
special mention must be given for participants and quiz masters from Europe,
Australia, Singapore and America who participated despite the Earth rotating
and trying to play spoilsport.</span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="color: #0e101a;"> A
sincere thank you to the huge number of quiz-setters for setting such diverse
and excellent sets for InFestYouUs. Heartfelt thanks to all the setters who
could take their sets in-person, from sickbeds, and through half-sleeps. The
participants for showing up and staying with us, and the awesome Mob all deserve
praise. We would also like to thank Eric Yuan and Zoom Video Communications for
their cloud-based peer-to-peer video conferencing software platform, Zoom,
which enabled this fest. Cheers until next year!</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="color: #0e101a;">Top 10 scores: <br /></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="color: #0e101a;"> </span></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="color: #0e101a;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjBg76j7G2_wm_wjG6or4DoaY0WLT9DQpUB1dRRCDzH8R7I-qerIimPrTfF8_2EYUysMlLEmRCG5joIL_Rp-Ow9EkMCk1lzp2QnB5D1isB1Xt4HDCmwbJzIYWdQbLf0vY1LEhd7q4FKxQkYuG3_ajngJEqKfsiiTmPKUr3qF1XsmQjQpDc=s1898" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1154" data-original-width="1898" height="243" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjBg76j7G2_wm_wjG6or4DoaY0WLT9DQpUB1dRRCDzH8R7I-qerIimPrTfF8_2EYUysMlLEmRCG5joIL_Rp-Ow9EkMCk1lzp2QnB5D1isB1Xt4HDCmwbJzIYWdQbLf0vY1LEhd7q4FKxQkYuG3_ajngJEqKfsiiTmPKUr3qF1XsmQjQpDc=w400-h243" width="400" /></a></span></span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="color: #0e101a;"><br /></span></span></span><p></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;">
