And can you participate in the quiz also? It should be pretty good.<BR/><BR/>There's an open General Quiz- 'Titans of Trvia' as part of the annual cultural festival of IIT Roorkee, Thomso 2007. It's on Saturday 27.10.2007. The prize money will be to the tune of Rs. 15k. Teams of 2 or 3. Registration on the spot. The quiz will be conducted by Keerthi Raghavan of IIM A, a well-known quizzer in the north Indian quizzing circuit.

After a Niranjan quiz it seems like your brain has been through a wringer with every ounce of your thinking,knowledge and reasoning extracted out. <BR/>It is amazing the way he comes out with new structures for questions, and the innovative connects. <BR/>Kudos to NP and eagerly awaiting the next bout of "Amnesia". <BR/><BR/>Meghashyam was really terrific, he played THE laxman type of innings, with me the humble Dravid ;)Samrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040334733593926471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-90417756222495364922007-09-20T21:42:00.000+05:302007-09-20T21:42:00.000+05:30the questions puhleeeeez.brijeshthe questions puhleeeeez.<BR/><BR/>brijeshAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-61612223659181902412007-09-20T10:10:00.000+05:302007-09-20T10:10:00.000+05:30Again, as usual - questions were top drawer. Niran...Again, as usual - questions were top drawer. Niranjan was in fine fettle as far as questions go.You continue to do a Federer and there's no Djokovic in sight. So I'll focus on the other aspects of QMing.<BR/>Yes, the Chupke Chupke one was a James/Shiva II/RGV ki Aag.A PDF of the complete set of qs would help in spotting more of these.<BR/>As I had commented on the last Amnesia, NP has always been consistently inconsistent in awarding part points/looking for complete answers. 5 'extra' points for the first question was not justified since you couldn't have got the connect unless you had identified those players. So 5+5 is fine, not 10+5. Some others that I remember are - awarding points to us for saying types of 'Rock' music when the earlier team had said types of music; points for Sammy/Meg for the qn on Mumbai blasts.<BR/>Small peeves but they sometimes tend to remain in the mind rather than the questions.<BR/>And there was extra time given to Team F on almost every qn,even on a pass. I think it will be a good idea to let people know in advance (probably in the announcement itself) about how many qs would be there and for how long does the QM expect the quiz to go on.Harish Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00431334794143541484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-89799837392388371412007-09-20T10:08:00.000+05:302007-09-20T10:08:00.000+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.Harish Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00431334794143541484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-52969661863455495442007-09-20T10:07:00.000+05:302007-09-20T10:07:00.000+05:30Goshdarnit for all the delays that kept this from ...Goshdarnit for all the delays that kept this from happening in, say July.

Especially liked the way simple themes were framed as connects.<BR/><BR/>Crib for the day: I didn't quite like a few connects like the Chupke Chupke one. It seemed too topical and "pop culture" ;-)<BR/><BR/>BTW, were any of the questions skipped?Salilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11766706291407000110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-48108334927051514502007-09-19T23:12:00.000+05:302007-09-19T23:12:00.000+05:30AWESOME Quiz ..
