Mindworks Quiz

It was the first quiz of the new academic year and there was a peculiar buzz about it. Mindworks the Quiz Club had a good start to its season as almost all the quizzing enthusiast from the seniors turned up and few from the first years also made an appearance. The quiz was hosted by Ravi and it had all elements of a typical “Ravi Quiz”. Around 12 teams consisting of 3 in a team battled it out in the prelims and 6 teams qualified for the finals. After some fun and interesting rounds of quizzing, it looked like a 3 way battle, but the team of Soubir, RIddhi and John after a brilliant start fizzled out and it looked like the wild card team of Divya, Praveen and DJ could pull out an upset win (tradition of LIBA Quizzes) but a few crucial missed chances saw the more experienced team of Arjun, Kenny and Pama win the quiz by answering the last question. Never the less a very close quiz and the winning team sort of retained the crown which they won last year (Yours truly was joined by Arjun and Kenny that time around). Madhav one of the founders of Mindworks made a special appearance much to the surprise of the participants. It was good start to the club and the events in college and a special thanks to Penny, Dinesh, Ruchir, Debhasish, Mayank and Tudu for helping out with the quiz.
