RESULTS & RANKINGS – MindSweep 2024

UPDATED 9 JUNE: Bhubaneswar scores have now been added. Our apologies. Certain individuals in our team have been struggling with the concept of MS Excel.

We’re happy to announce the results of MindSweep 2024. Apologies for the small delay: a couple of centres took their own sweet time in sending in the scores, and the person responsible for posting the results online may or may not have forgotten about it.

Now, to weightier matters: Jayakanthan R of Chennai, the reigning MahaQuizzer, tops MindSweep with 103 . JK was also part of the team that topped the MegaWhats — lending credence to the theory that he may just be good at this sort of thing — our congratulations to him.

Rajiv Rai of Mumbai finished a close second, with 101. Prithwish Datta, also of Mumbai, was next with 99.

Unfortunately, the proctor in Singapore forgot to note down the section-wise scores. The total scores are presented below.

Piyush Kedia topped the College category with 71 points. Aninthitha Nath of Mumbai topped the Women’s category with 40 points. The category toppers are as follows:

Arts: Rajiv Rai, Mumbai, 18

Movies & TV: Prithwish Datta, Mumbai, 16

Food & Beverages: Santosh JS, Bengaluru, 15

Literature: Prithwish Datta, Mumbai, 16

Music: Jayakanthan R, Chennai, 13

The Sciences: Jayakanthan R & Dinesh Krithivasan, both from Chennai, 17

The Social Sciences: Jayakanthan R, Chennai, 18

Sports: Sachin Deshpande, Bengaluru, 14

Once again, a big thank you to all the quiz organisations, proctors, participants, and our quiz setters. See you in 2025!

MahaQuizzer & AsiaSweep 2023

The Karnataka Quiz Association will be conducting MahaQuizzer, the National Solo Quizzing Championship, and AsiaSweep, the Arun Veembur Memorial Quiz on all things Asian, on 10 December 2023 (Sunday).

MahaQuizzer will consist of 150 questions to be attempted over 90 minutes, off a printed paper. Mahaquizzer will be set by a team comprised of Debashree Mitra, Sachin Deshpande, Sreyashi Dastidar, Sujata Sharma, and Venkataraman R.

MahaQuizzer is open to individual entrants, irrespective of age or other affiliations. The person recording the highest score across all centres will hold the title of Mahaquizzer for 2023. She/he will also be awarded the Wing Commander G.R. Mulky Trophy for Quizzing Excellence. This trophy will be presented during ASKQANCE, the KQA Anniversary Open Quiz Festival scheduled for June 2024.

AsiaSweep will consist of around 75 questions, to be read off a ppt. A projector will be required to hold the quiz. The quiz is being set by Dibyendu Das, Urmila Lakshmanan, Dr Arul Mani, and Nagaratna Patil.

AsiaSweep is open to teams of two members, irrespective of age or other affiliations. Solo participants are also welcome to try their luck.

We look forward to your cooperation in conducting another successful edition of these quizzes. We will require a proctor at each centre to conduct the quizzes. Please nominate one/two person(s) for this responsibility. We will send the question paper to the proctor(s) a few days before the quiz. The proctor will need to take copies of the question paper as per the number of participants in each centre. Kindly announce news of the quiz in your respective quiz groups as soon as possible.

Mahaquizzer will be held in all cities from 10:30 am to 12 noon. Reporting time for participants will be 10:00 AM. AsiaSweep will start at 3 pm.

Prior registration is essential. Go here to register for Mahaquizzer, and here for AsiaSweep. If you would like to host either event in your city, please email kqaquizzes@gmail.com.
