The elite members of the TQC went to the Punjab Engineering College to attend the Eureka..a quiz held during their fest...Although the organizers(students of PEC) did their best..the quiz sucked big time...
it was hosted by a person called gautam ghosh...CEO of Grey Cells ltd...
looks like these days...almost anyone can open a company....
the host lacked communication skills...lacked the quizzing aura....asked stupid questions....cracked silly PJs....pronounced prelims as 'eelims'.
the prelims sucked so much..that the highest team got 6 and the cut off was 5...(that is out of 25 questions!!!)...the finals had lesser number of questions than the prelims...we were called on the stage and along with four other teams we were asked to step down coz the organizers did a huge blunder in the calculations...
the quizmaster brought files in an unknown format...so he had no idea as to how to run them...we cudnt hear the audio questions...coz the bhangra guys were playing their music in the background(or shud i say foreground)...
the quizmaster and the laptop operator wer such noobs....the answer to each question was on the slide succeeding the question...so wen the powerpoint file was opened...one cud see all the questions and all the answers in the slide gallery on the left of the screen...
all in all it was a waste of time....

Proness in IIT Roorkee
I would like to state here that the Thapar Quiz Club is official!!!(since we now have our official logo :)))
The elite members of the TQC went to IIT Roorkee to take part in their quizzes...We ended up winning in every event we participated in...except the quizzing events (sadness....)
The first quiz : Comfortably Dumb...was a boring quiz....the questions were interesting but they were loooong....the A/V system sucked and basically even after qualifying we managed to doze off in the quiz....the quiz was hosted by a geeky 4th yr guy...who actually ended up winning the third quiz....
Team Blitzkrieg(our standard pro 3 member team - me,ashu and udit) and the team of Maithani,Gippy and Smile qualified....
The second quiz: MMS (music movies and sports...)
This was our speciality quiz....we qualified easily but got raped in the finals coz we sucked at the hugely high scoring connect rounds...
The third quiz : Titans of Trivia...
This was an ulitmate pro-quiz conducted by the winner of the Nat Geo Genius (Dr.Bhattacharya) and also the member of the Kutub quizzers...although the quiz was below par as compared to inQUIZitive...(maybe only Derek can host a quiz better than Barry)...the questions were fantastic.....after qualifying second...we took the joint lead in the middle of the quiz...but totally lost track after the start of the connect round....Eventually we came 5th or 6th....
The standard of quizzing at IIT Roorkee was very good....lets hope they come to TU and we beat them on our own backyard...
