11AM: From The Horse’s Mouth, by Debashree and Navin.
In the words of one of the QMs (with due apologies to BoJack Horseman): “A General Quiz leaning towards Etymology, Words & Languages. Forgot the Oxford comma after Words, so add that as well.”
It is a prelims/finals quiz for teams of up to four. Open to all.
330PM: The Unseeded Open by Rajagopal & Co.
A general quiz open to all… except those serious-minded quizzers who mug every day and have finished in the top 3 of any of the monthly opens held over this KQA cycle (excluding ruckus opens).
It is a prelims/finals quiz for teams of up to four. Open to (almost) all.

Quiz Night at The Courtyard on Wednesday, May 8
Join us for edition 5 of Quiz Night at The Courtyard (in association with the KQA) on May 8 (Wednesday) at 8 PM.
The theme this month is elections.
