Comments
As to the questions, I liked them but I did think the quiz was a bit uneven. I am quite sure giving more notice to the contributors and having someone with a bit of quizzing experience vet the whole thing would have helped loads.
Also, the name-of-institute-as-first-question meme needs to be retired, and fast.
I liked that they used old-school IR - its gotten quite rare these days with the absolute domination of Arnold variation IR.
Perhaps the next time someone is in this situation, they should just say no.
