Hey everyone. I know this blog’s been idle since its creation. I wanted it to officially begin after the second meeting. I know I did not turn up for the second meeting as well (ahem), but anyway this has waited long enough.
As of now we could have one quiz a week or every three days. The person who posts the quiz nominates the person who should post the next and inform that person by email. I’ll put up a list of the users on the sidebar for this purpose. Be sure you don’t pick the same person. Please shoot whatever trivia you have about the questions that you read, in the comments section.
This process will go on till our next meeting, and then, if everybody is O.K with this idea, we can have the same or change our plans.
Nuff said.
I’ll start it off with a few questions that we took for an intracollegiate quiz this sunday afternoon.
Questions :
Great to have a Quiz Circle in Cbe; while the QF has been around for over a couple of decades, the focus was on students with mixed results… somehow parents think Class 10 and Class 12 boards are more important that spending a couple of hours a month at a quiz club.!!!
Let’s keep the momentum going
