It was a reasonably good turnout for the India 75 Quiz, held in collaboration with the Women's Studies Programme at the Goa University on August 14. Some 35-odd participants answered the solo written prelims. The top 18 were divided into teams of 3 based on their prelims performance. These 6 teams participated in the onstage finals. Most of the remaining stayed on as audience and a wonderful audience they were too!
