KQA QUIZZES ON APRIL 27 AT UJJIVAN
The KQA will conduct two open quizzes on April 27 (Sunday) at the Ujjivan head office in Koramangala.
1030 AM: The Only Connect Quiz
QMs Karthik Shashidhar and Subrat Mohanty will present the second edition of their adaptation of the popular quiz show Only Connect, and have provided the following description:
As per ChatGPT (ed note: respect tradition, copy-paste para 1 from the wiki entry), “Only Connect” is a British quiz show where teams of three compete to find connections between seemingly unrelated clues, often requiring lateral thinking and deep knowledge. Hosted by Victoria Coren Mitchell, it features rounds like Connections, Sequences, and separating 16 clues into 4 groups of 4, making it a cerebral challenge for even the most seasoned quizzers.
Expect a strong mix of stage 2s, word plays and poor jokes. You can check out the original at https://www.youtube.com/@onlyconnectfan8964/playlists (ed note: but please attend the quiz instead of spiralling down a YouTube rabbithole)
It is a direct finals quiz for teams of up to 4, open to all.
On-the-spot registration. Rs. 300/team. Registration waived for school and college teams.
230 PM: The Purple Riband Quiz by QFI— We will be running the Purple Riband Quiz that was conducted by QFI a month or so ago.
From them:
“The Blue Riband is an award given to the fastest passenger ship to cross the Atlantic Ocean. So why not a women-themed general knowledge quiz for the Purple Ribbon on the occasion of International Women’s Day?”
A women-themed general knowledge quiz for all.
This is a prelims/finals quiz that is open to all ages for teams of two, with either both women or one man & one woman. This is not a solo quiz.
