Niranjan’s new Ishtyle!

Niranjan introduced a new way of presentation at his only visuals quiz ‘Dekho Magar Pyaar Se’. It was a part of BCQC May open quiz. The presentation was superb. Take a look-

Abhimanyu @ COEP

On Friday, 21st March, COEP quizzing circle gathered on BC for ‘Abhimanyu: The Intra-college Solo Quiz’. The quiz was set, monitored and and conducted by BCQC. Last year’s winner Aniket Khasgiwale was supposed to be the quizmaster. But he was unavailable, so it was conducted by Niranjan and Ramanand.

Elims were conducted two weeks earlier…this time by Aniket Khasgiwale in a very innovative manner. He showed tremendous resourcefulness as he carried out the whole session by reading out questions from his i-Pod. 8 finalists were selected at that time- Abhishek, Gadre, Kaustubh B, Yasho, Mohit Karve, me (for the first time), Avnish and Aadinath:the Enthu-Fresher.

The finals were in 2 parts. 1 general round and 1 specialty round. Each finalist had given a topic of his own choice on which he was asked 10 questions. My topic was, not surprisingly Michael Schumacher. I could answer only 5 out of 10. Got 4 wrong out of ignorance and 1 by over-confidence!

Other topics were-

Avnish- Foundation Series:Asimov

Aadinath- Tin Tin (Though his 1st choice was Tour de France, quizmasters refused to set questions on that. So poor guy had to take this 1)

Mohit- Formula-1

Yasho- Yes Minister

Kaustubh- Iron Maiden

Gadre- World Cup Football

Abhishek- XKCD

Finals were very eventful, with quizzers delivering all sorts of performances (ranging from pathetic to excellent). Abhishek won on Gadre’s last question.
