Sadly, ...I wish I could have enjoyed the quiz more. Sadly, was suffering from a headache caused largely by the lighting in the audi (for some reason).<BR/><BR/>A few cribs:<BR/>1. Wish there had been a qn paper - found it hard to do justice to the big qns with clues by taking notes. <BR/>2. Was unhappy with the differential scoring round. I am not against the concept of the round (having expted with it myself at the BC), but I have a problem with it being restricted only to 8 qns and hence making such a diff (perhaps sour grapes). Either it applies to a much bigger set of qns or it doesn't. <BR/>3. Must say that the constant (largely ill-humoured) carping between teams and even the QM put me off big-time. <BR/><BR/>Pros:<BR/>1. Nice qns<BR/>2. New areas<BR/>3. Seeming tough framing but with interesting answers<BR/><BR/>Sorry about the turnout - not sure why that was so. People these days seem to just give up after a tough elims.J Ramanandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03700969855424872769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-11970136940777866122009-02-19T00:35:00.000+05:302009-02-19T00:35:00.000+05:30Aah, a hurried penning by Aditya demands some supp...Aah, a hurried penning by Aditya demands some supplementary effort.<BR/><BR/>Elims--a very decent set of elims covering geography, legends, current affairs, history/biographies, the despicable pop culture with some self-pointing q's on quizzing & mock-fundae(3 in fact). No repeats in any direct sense.<BR/><BR/>Though the sweep was far from esoteric, the depth and range demanded seemed to have foxed most going by the elims scores ( which altho' in the range of my conservative sensibilities still underscored that the Punekars, as is their wont, enjoyed a heavy lunch.<BR/><BR/>Nice touch reading out the q's and highlighting the parts that made it guessable--may have been missed by the likes of 1939 film--I know it I know it refrain for Gone with the Wind-junta ! Suggests an ease and familiarity in setting the q's which is seldom seen -struck as Wiki cut paste or contrived art-y stuff without appreciation or internalization.<BR/><BR/>We barely made 21 despite having missed 5 in a row and usual the No-I checked - you got 17.5 kinda rubbish prevailed--PS pls pls when can we get QMs checking by themselves ? With the attendance this quiz rather undeservedly got,scoring the sheets would take abt 4 mins !!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301203.post-3745834050771981192009-02-13T07:22:00.000+05:302009-02-13T07:22:00.000+05:30Open report is too good and simple to follow.Open report is too good and simple to follow.SKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08907521527289544044noreply@blogger.com
