SESAME, OPEN! QUIZ
QM: Arul Mani
The annual open quiz held at ASKQANCE sees participation from the best teams from across the country and so the prelims are not just high scoring but also hard fought for the 8 places in the finals. The final line up this year had teams from Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and Bangalore with a team from Goa just missing the qualification mark.
The finals proved to be both interesting in content and exciting in competition as teams frequently changed places in the scoring. Metaquizziks (Varun Rajiv, Mitesh Agarwal, Santosh Swaminathan & Kiran Vijaykumar) from Bangalore overtook QED early in the quiz but then slumped for a while before finally finishing second. QED, the eventual winners lagged for a bit too but then pounced on a series of questions in the fourth round to create and unassailable lead. We Are Like This Wonly (Movin Miranda, Anustup Datta, Ochintya Sharma and Thejaswi Udupa) from Bangalore who were placed last for a couple of rounds bounced back spectacularly towards the end of the quiz to pip the Kolkata team Hammer and Tongs (Kinshuk Biswas, Jayashree Jayakar Mohanka, Shouvik Guha & Anil Vaswani) by 5 points for third place.

- QED – 275 points.
