Margao Monthly - 26/Feb/2023 - Results

QM: Vineeth Nair, Chandrashekhar Rao & Mayur Shett

Another great Sunday, another great quiz at the picturesque city of Margao. One can gauge the Seqcian's love for QMing by the number of quizmasters we have been having recently for each quizzes. The debutante QM Dr Vineeth Nair gave the quiz a roaring start with his excellent set. At the end of the set everyone had a contended look of having found one more great QM (Bakra) for the club. Than it was time for what everyone looks forward to at the Margao quizzes, Samosas! One can experience true bliss chomping on the samosas and sipping nice hot Tea taking in the breath taking view from the gallery of the venue. Breath taking because you get a nice view of the Graveyard from there. Seeing the Graveyard one starts to ponder on how short life is and what you are doing on a Sunday answering questions about etymological origins of different diseases and trying to remember the next line of some random Lullaby or what word is used for U in NATO's letters. The train of thought is broken by the call to return to your seats. The 2nd half, that included Doc Shekhar's set, was conducted by the nice young chap Mayur. Considering his large stage presence he has been advised to not actually step on the stage. Anyway it was a good 2nd half and allover a enjoyable quiz.

Music Quiz - 12/Feb/2023 - Results

QM: Annie Sen Gupta

After a hiatus of 2 years Music Quiz was back with a bang, special thanks goes to Annie who agreed to conduct it knowing it would be his 3rd quiz in a row after the 2 monthlies. Annie is a Man of Focus, Commitment, Sheer Will and lots of free time apparently.

As usual the prelim was split in 2 parts, Eastern and Western. Teams were formed according to their scores in each section so that a balance of people with knowledge of different genres could be achieved in each team and as you will see from the final scores it worked out pretty well with all the teams spread out across just 30 points .

The Finals constituted 5 rounds

1) Written Round

2) Direct Qs on infinite bounce

3) Connect Round

4) Direct Qs on infinite bounce and pounce

5) Four clues to ID the element

All the teams were pretty close to each other throughout the quiz but in the end the well endowed better team won. Let me end the report with a quote by Ghalib for all the losing team "Haar ke bhi jitne wale ko Quizzer kehte hai", you may have lost the quiz but you have won a lifetime of regrets for not remembering some easy stuff or not pouncing on Qs you were pretty sure of.
