BiG Q 2014 – scores and content

A total of 36 participants took The BiG Q test across Panjim and Margao. The general asssessment was that it was easier than in previous years, an opinion borne out by the higher scoring across the board.

Hot on his heels were Julian D'Costa with 74 and Vidyadhar Gadgil on 73, who win the Best Open Quizzer prizes for Margao and Panjim, respectively.
