The second non-comp of the season, Elementary was held on
Wednesday, 12th September 2012 in SAC CR. The quizmasters for the event
were Aditya Grover, Shivani Sen and Nikhil Mahajan. The prelims started
at 8 and saw enthusiastic participation from a lot of teams, especially
the freshers who turned out in large numbers. The prelims, with 25
questions(many having multiple parts), was a well balanced set of
questions from different themes and turned out to be high scoring affair
with a cutoff of 13/35. Eight teams made it to the finals, with an overenthusiastic Nikhil Mahajan lobbying for a ninth team to accomodate his Jwala freshers!
It was
heartening to see a freshers team also making it through. The finals
comprised of around 45 questions, split into three rounds, one by each
QM. Each round was highly appreciated by the finalists and audience and
for any ambiguity, there was one simple rule, Quizmaster is God(ess).
The event started and ended on time, in tune with the new QC policy of
punctuality. The winning team were QC Veterans Gowtham, Arpit and Shivalik fresher, runners up being Team Nilgiri. The main entertainer of the Quiz award went to Tannishka Singh for jumping up every time an answer he knew was answered before him.
The next event would be India Quiz, to be conducted by Gagandeep Bhatia, Arnab Dutta and Mayank Gupta, on the 18th of August.
