Tata Crucible 2008 Chandigarh edition



Tata Crucible turned out to be a "spectacular quizzing extravaganza". Since it was telecast on CNBC...the stage setting, lighting were very good...As for the quiz..Pickbrain did not disappoint us. It was a quiz of good quality...but was very short..only 4 rounds or so...coz they had to fit it in the time slot of 20 mins on TV. Although we did not qualify for the final round..(on some othr day we cud've easily won it), i enjoyed the quiz.....The only problem was...invariably 50 % of the answers were linked to the tatas and it was very sick to listen to Pickbrain jabbeering about the greatness of Tata again and again....They even called the scorecard as the "Nano Meter"!!!! What an audacious advertising strategy!!!




Well here are some of the questions i seem to remember....




1. Expand SEBI (what a boring question)


2. Name the person or the company with which he is associated.







3. The name of an Indian retail brand that is often confused with a formula 1 team.


4. Name the producers of the movie dus kahaaniyaan.


5. This English word originated from the Latin word 'Bulga' meaning a bag/sack where venetian merchants while travelling carried or kept gold coins or something of monetary value. Name this English word.


6. Which famous construction company built the lotus temple in new delhi?

7. Theis range of jewellery titled 'zoya' was crafted for the crowns of the Femina Miss India 2007 beauty paegant. Which brand has made the zoya collection?
Thr are more questions...i'll put them up as i remember

So what was this quiz about? I thought this was a MBA colleges only..

But the questions are merely "think it out ones" Not bad but not tough either..

Ever attended a quiz conducted by Pranab Mukherjee? (i guess thats the correct spelling) You'll fall at his feet and plead to be a disciple! lol
