Muscular Logik
Muscular Logik is a fortnightly supplement featuring 50 of the sort of questions that don’t usually get asked at MindSweep, KQA’s annual international quiz championship. The supplement is named so in honour of Abhishek “Logik” Upadhya, veteran practitioner of push-ups, or steady prep, for quizzes.
What do you do? Read the questions, perhaps. Or share them with friends. If you want to be Nazi about it, you could sit down with pen and paper and give yourself 30 minutes and record your score. We are very sure we don’t want to hear about it:)
We will post the answers to each supplement a day or two after the release.
