The KQA will be conducting two quizzes on 17th February (Sunday) at the Ujjivan head office in Koramangala. (Grape Garden address on Google maps)
11 AM: The February Open (Ruckus) Quiz by the Sreedevis (Sreyashi, Preyoshi and Debashree) – after the great success of the first such quiz in December, the second ruckus quiz of the KQA calendar has arrived!
What is a ruckus, you ask? No more #foreveralone. Farewell to feeling in-team-idated because you can never find teammates. Everyone present gets randomised into teams on the spot. It’s that simple. Just bring yourself (and a pen). No prelims either. Isn’t that just the best?
It is a finals-only quiz with teams to be formed on the spot. Open to all.
3PM: The KQA Science and Technology Quiz by Venkatesh, Rajagopal and some Schrodinger’s QMs who may or may not be contributors. As the name suggests, it’s a quiz tinged with science and technology (beyond using the magic of Powerpoint and projectors to run it).
“It’s great fun.” – Werner Heisenblurb.
It is a prelims/finals quiz for teams of four or fewer. Open to all.
KQA yearbooks will be available at the venue.
