Announcing Ménages à Trois

 

Here's a way out of self-isolation – become part of a threesome. Ménages à Trois is a quiz for trios, to be held at the International Centre Goa (ICG) on January 31, starting 5pm. Annie Sen Gupta (me, that is) will be the QuizMaster.

The quiz format will involve written prelims and projected finals (we are constrained by the outdoor requirement, which prevents us from getting to the projected stuff till after sunset).

It will be for pre-formed teams of 3 (so you can team up with people whom you are comfortable having in your close proximity), with the stipulation that each team has to have at least 1 male and 1 female (and no cross-dressing this time!)

The other constraint is that any team can have only one from among the following seeded participants (let's call it the Elite group) -- Ajey, Doc Shekhar, JK, Nitish, Rajiv, Shashwat (if he happens to be around), Srijit, Vilas. Teams that have none of these members will be allowed a fourth wheel.

Please register your teams by emailing the names to seqcgoa@gmail.com by midnight on Friday the 29th of January.

Try and convince someone of the opposite sex in your family or circle of non-quizzing friends to come along. The cult is always looking for new recruits. If you can't form a team, send an individual registration, and I'll try and put you together with two/three others on the day of the quiz.
