Round-up of the Champs League by Ramana September 29, 2009
Posted by karthikglobalsoul in Champions League, IQL Meetings, IQL News.1 comment so far
It was a super saturday – a double bill for cricket and quiz lovers! Ramana’s Champions League quiz and an India-Pakistan match was a delightful combination for sure. Sana, Malcaluffin (bday babe), me, Yaggy, Patrick, Matti, Anirudh, Pranav Guru and Mr.Guru, Hari rounded up the group that attended the quiz.
The quizmaster for the day V.V.Ramanan, a veteran of many a quiz was ready with his battery of questions. There were 30 questions in all – the winner would become the Champ for an entire month and would get to host the next edition. Halfway through the quiz, some of us realised that the questions were simple – most of the questions were one-line, factual questions. And most of us were not sure if we had opened our accounts yet!!
The questions were top notch and covered almost all topics you could think of. The top score was a mere 34 (out of a possible maximum 120 with four questions per correct answer). Just 2 points separated the top three of this edition of the Champs League – so it was touch and go for many. I scored a paltry 10, whereas Patrick scored a big zero. Definitely not our day!!
Thanks Ramana for the great quiz from all of us – for taking the time out of your preparations for the Young World Quiz that starts next week.
Congrats and happy birthday once again to Malcaluffin for top scoring with 34. A perfect b’day gift! Now we wait eagerly for the next edition…
