Quizzes on December 22 (Sunday)

The KQA will be organising two quizzes on Sunday (December 22) at Ujjivan HO in Koramangala, also the last KQA event of 2024. Come ring out the chaos that was the last 12 months on a high note with two music-themed quizzes!

1030 AM: The Scene and the Unseen — an Indian indie music quiz Allow local scenester Berty (is there a musician he hasn’t met?) and international scenester Sohan (recipient of a takedown notice from Raghu Dixit) take you on a journey through the Indian indie scene: the people behind it, the stories, the venues and of course the history.

Written quiz for teams of up to 2. Open to all. On the spot registration, ₹200/team.

Registration waived for school and college teams.

230 PM: Sesame Mucho — The KQA Music Quiz is back with returning QMs Anuradha, Santosh and Thejaswi Udupa.

Still big in Japan, this lineup promises to avoid a sophomore slump with another all killer, no filler mixtape!

A prelims/finals quiz with teams of up to four. Open to all. On the spot registration, ₹300/team.

Registration free for school and college participants.

Venue: Ujjivan Head Office, Koramangala https://maps.app.goo.gl/GX4DPxF9h5vwio866

Please note that we will be starting and ending on time. Do report for the quiz 10 min before scheduled start time.

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!

Megawhats, the national team quizzing championship, is a written quiz for teams of up to four that will commence at 3.30 PM IST. Do note that the top winners of Megawhats will also be invited to take part in the Megawhats National Final on June 28 at AsKQAnce 2024.

Registration form and further details are at http://kqaquizzes.org/megawhats/

Venue details for each city will be notified soon. The venue in Bangalore is IAT, Queen’s Road.

If your location isn’t listed and you would like your city to conduct Mindsweep and Megawhats, or for any clarifications, please write to Hrishi Varma at kqaquizzes@gmail.com The more the merrier, and the only reason your city is not yet on the list is that the organising details have not yet been ironed out with the local quiz club so lean on them and tell them to get their act together

Prior registration is required for both quizzes, so please register at the earliest using the links mentioned above, and do spread the word.

MAHAQUIZZER 2023 – RESULTS & RANKINGS

The results of the 18th edition of MahaQuizzer are below. Nearly 300 people took Mahaquizzer.

Jayakanthan of Chennai has won the title of MahaQuizzer with a score of 112, the highest in the competition’s history. This is his first title. Our congratulations to him.

Two former champions also reached the century score: Vinoo Sanjay (100 (12*), Mumbai), and Rahul Kottalgi (100 (9*), Bengaluru). The highest-scoring woman is 2012 champ Jayashree Jayakar Mohanka, who made 79.

The next four highest scorers in Bengaluru were Thejaswi Udupa (94), Santosh Swaminathan (92), Achyuth Sanjay (88) and Anustup Datta (83).

Due to some unfortunate circumstances, we did not receive the answer sheets from Delhi. They are presented as we received them. We are yet to receive scores from Siliguri and Raiganj. Scores will be updated if we receive them.

The top sixteen players also qualify for Mahamahaquizzer 2024. The winners will be given the trophy at AsKQAnce 2024, which will be held in June 2024.

We thank all our quiz setters, proctors, and fellow quizzing organisations for making this edition a success.

We’ll see you again in December 2024.
