KQA's annual Mahaquizzer made its debut in Goa last Sunday, and must be adjudged as an unqualified success by any yardstick. 52 entrants sat through 90 gruelling minutes on a hot and sultry morning. The questions were tough brain-rackers, and most required a high degree of awareness to crack. That, added to the time-pressure, meant that this is the kind of quiz that separates the men from the boys. Little surprise then, that when the results were clear, a slightly hirsute man stood up to claim his title with a grin. The gap between Annie's score of 78 and the next best was so wide that Navjyot Singh Sidhu could've driven a truck through it. Here are the complete results:
