Saturday (16th December)
915 AM: Registration starts
930 AM: Y Tu MoMA Tambien — the Arts Quiz

QMs: Anush Iyer, Mahendra Balu, Nikhita Thomas
A prelims/finals open quiz for teams of up to four.
145 PM: The Extremely Online offline quiz
Whether you know the phrase “extremely online” or are thinking “huh this is some gen Z yooth play”, this is a quiz for you — for every MostlySane posting content, there is a pre-millennial struggling with caps lock on Twitter/X. From T-Series subscription numbers to T-4826 (and counting; IYKYK), if it’s online, it’s fair game.
QMs: Abid Abdulla, Nagaratna Patil
A written open quiz for teams of up to two.
330 PM – 830 PM: SoL — the Movie Quiz
Son. Of. Lumiere. Is. Back. The venerable movie quiz rides again! Hollywood, not-just-Bollywood Indian movies, world cinema, independent productions… it’s all here.
