Elementary - QC Non-comp

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.
