RESULTS – MahaQuizzer 2024
A total of 252 quizzers attempted MahaQuizzer this year.
The winner, for a barely believable fifth time, is Vinoo Sanjay from Mumbai. Vinoo reclaims his title with a score of 80 points out of 150.
Two quizzers tied for 77, but in the end, youth beat out experience. Ravi Mundoli (Chennai) pips ahead of Preetham Upadhya (Bengaluru) on stars. The defending champion, Jayakanthan, finishes fourth with 76 points.
A new entrant into the top ten is also comfortably its youngest. Calvin Christ finishes with 70 points in sixth place. He will celebrate it with a bottle of champagne when he is old enough to.
Two other former MQ champions, Dr Arul Mani and Shouvik Guha (Kolkata), round off the top ten with 65 points. Another former champ, Jayashree Jaykar Mohanka (Kolkata), was the highest-scoring woman, with 59.
The top 16 automatically qualify for Mahamahaquizzer at AsKQAnce 2025.
The KQA thanks all quizzing communities and proctors who helped conduct MQ smoothly.

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!

MINDSWEEP and MEGAWHATS on 19 May 2024
The KQA is pleased to announce the return of its annual multi-city written open quizzing championships, Mindsweep and Megawhats.
Both quizzes will be conducted on Sunday, 19th May, 2024 in various cities.
Mindsweep, the international solo quizzing championship, is a written quiz for solo participants that will require takers to answer 200 questions in two back-to-back sessions of 75 min each. The quiz will commence at 10.30 AM IST.
Registration form and further details are at http://kqaquizzes.org/mindsweep/
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.
