What a turnout!

The CQC celebrated its 3rd anniversary in a grand manner. Prof. Rangarajan, as usual, put on a great show for the masses. And masses it was! The hall was brimming, and what's even more impressive is that most of the audience decided to stay back and watch the finals. It more than made up for the appalling lack of participation during the recent informal sessions.

The prelims were on paper, and 6 teams were selected for the finals:
Team No. 1: Ashwin and his dad Bala from Brookefields
Team No. 2: Vishal and Bharadwaaj from Amrita School of Engineering
Team No. 3: The Tirupur Tughlaqs, YoPai and Senthil
Team No. 4: Anjan and Vidyuth
Team No. 5: Sheilen and Govind
Team No. 6: VSSR (Varun Subramaniam and documentary-maker Sarat Rao)

5 nicely framed rounds of pretty awesome quizzing and super guesses followed, and the results were:
1. Tirupur Tughlaqs, Yo and Senthil
2. Anjan and Vidyuth
3. Sheilen and Govind

Prizes were sponsored by the Coimbatore Public School.

After the quiz, the members gathered round for an informal "adda" type session on account of Sarat Rao. You can also follow his progress on his documentary on quizzing, aptly titled "Furiously Curious", by visiting his blog @ http://cut-throatcurious.blogspot.com/

All in all, a good day. Thanks to the people who made it happen!

As a side note, it's fitting that this post should be the 250th post of the blog. Cheers!

Jaago CQC, Jaago.

Today the CQC witnessed an unprecedented rush of people for the Lone Wolf quiz, it was quite amazing, there was barely enough space to fit everyone into the hall!

#yeahright.

40 copies of the question paper of the Lone Wolf quiz conducted by BITS, Pilani were taken, thinking there'd be a minimum of 30 in attendance. Surprise, surprise. There were only 6 people in the hall who turned up, 4 of whom were college students, 2 in the open category, out of which 1 was the organizer and participated non-comp.

Terrible showing. The last two weeks have been evidence of it. The numbers have just been dwindling, and it's highly disheartening. An appeal to all members: Please do attend more CQC sessions in the future. Otherwise, what is the point? Reasons may be dime a dozen, but at least try coming for events such as this.

You can all expect a thittu mail from Senthil sometime in the near future.

Anyway, results of today's quiz:

Open winner: Ashwin, Brookefields Mall.

College winner: Vidyuth, PSG Tech.

On another note, the CQC blog has hit 25,000 page views. Woohoo :)

Some Random Quiz.

Last Sunday, CQC witnessed a very Dwarkesh Bagri aka Choco Cake Bakery aka Dwageshwar Pandian aka Poota Case quiz. Here are the ppt's for those who missed them. Enjoy!

PS: To those who expected Sticky's quiz to be put up, apologies. it seems to have gotten lost.
