A report by Omkar Prasannevich Dhakephalkarov
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.
With an attendance of over 30 attendees, we had a strong mob
to challenge and answer in case the participant could not. The venue was a classroom in the Academic Complex at the College of Engineering, Pune, next to the COEP Boat Club.
The winner of InFestYouUs 2017 with a score of 8.5 was
Omkar Yarguddi whose set was 'Spongebob Squarepants' set by Omkar Dhakephalkar.
Close behind at joint second were Rahul Mohanty and Rahul Kottalgi with a score
of 7 in 'Life and Works of Kanti Shah' and 'Hitchcock Films Post 1950s'
respectively.
A special shout out to Yasho Tamaskar for 'Life and Works
of Kanti Shah' set, Pranav 'Floyd' Joshi for 'Food History of India' set. They
were well-appreciated by the participant and audience to be nominated for the
'Best InFestYouUs Set' Boatie. A special mention also to Gaurav Kohale and
Prathamesh Pawar who caught everyone's attention with their performances in
'Maratha Confederacy' and 'Natural Disasters in Ancient History'.
A sincere thank you to all the quiz-setters for setting such
brilliant sets for InFestYouUs. Heartfelt thanks to all the setters who could
actually come and take their set. Special thanks to Samrat Sengupta who set a
set despite having a surgery. Extra-special thanks to Divij Ghose, Vrushabh
Gudade and COEP for providing such prompt facilities on time so early in the
morning.
Proxy QMs included Pranav 'Floyd' Joshi, Aditya 'Fidel'
Gadre and Omkar Dhakephalkar.
