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.
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.
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.
