The fifth Pushups for Muscular Success will be held at 2 pm on Saturday, 19 March 2016, at the Humanities Block (III Floor), St. Joseph’s College, Langford Road.
Push-ups?
For those who are wondering what all this is about, the Push-ups are a set of 75 questions which you answer in writing in 60 minutes. The Push-ups were thought up as a way of getting people interested in solo quizzing, and in taking part regularly in a short quizzing activity that involves some intelligent guesswork.
Time:
Push-ups for Muscular Success V at 2 pm ( Entry fee: Rs. 50/-)
Venue: III Floor, Humanities Block, St. Joseph’s College, Langford Road.
Open to all, with prizes for winners in school, college, ladies and open categories.
