The Karnataka Quizzing Association, one of the oldest and biggest quiz clubs in the country, hold an annual quiz called Mahaquizzer every year. Quite amazing quizzes to full of pure trivia. And it can be quite fun when quizmasters themselves come to give the quiz. It’s a written-only quiz, with 150 question – 150 pure spermology stuff. Oh, did I spermology? That’s the technical term for the ‘study of trivia’, although there IS a bit of debate about that. Come from the Latin roots of the word. Can be quite fun though, to walk up to your parents and say that you’re interested in a career in ‘spermology’.

Enjoy these amazing papers.

So then, bang in the middle of my Board exams, 2nd March to be exact, I went to watch the Delhi regionals of the Tata Crucible 2008 Campus Edition. It was Jimi who convinced me to go actually, but I must say I’m pretty lucky to have parents who allowed me to go. It was held at Army Public School, Dhaula Kuan, and the quizmaster was Pickbrain, whose quizzes I have (and won) earlier.

Anyway, the quiz was pretty good, and Harkirat and ‘SMS’ from IMT Ghaziabad won. It was pretty heartening to know that a team from IIT Roorkee had gone all the way to the Chandigarh regionals, got stuck in a traffic jam so missed it there, came to the Delhi regionals JUST FOR THE QUIZ, and qualified for the finals again. THAT, is what I say love for quizzing.

You can get the questions too, some of which have been put up on the NSIT Quiz Club blog. Bigger credit goes to Jimi though, for noting down, and meticulously compiling and recreating all the questions.

PS – I came across a blog which has the prelims questions of Tata Crucible 2007 Campus Edition; which city, I dunno. You might wanna check it out.
