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

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.
