Father Agnel School (Gautam Nagar) will be holding their annual Agnel Talent Fest 2007 from 30th August 2007 to 1st September 2007. It is one of the most prestigious events in Delhi, albeit slightly irritating because they award themselves a position in almost each and every event and then gracefully decline to accept it. This year, the theme is Global Warming, which I think is bullshit (the notion of global warming, not the topic).

The ATF’s Exquizzit, their quizzing event is one of the best and the toughest quizzes in Delhi, and sure hope that on 1st September the DPS VK Quiz Club does something in it. Joy Bhattacharya, the brain behind ESPN School Quiz, and one of the lead researchers at ESPN. He has also worked with the team behind Kaun Banega Crorepati, University Challenge, and India’s Child Genius. Boy, is he an amazing quizmaster, and his quizzes are so fun.

Getting there
Now that’s a question many people from the DPS VK QC and the Code Warriors (there are two tech events) have asked me a lot. For exact directions from your place, the best place is www.mapmyindia.com. Here are two general maps of the area though, click on the images to get an enlarged view.

• Agnel Talent Fest 2007 Invite (PDF)
• ATF Exquizzit 2006 Prelims (PDF): Don’t get conned into thinking that the quiz is easy on the basis of this admittedly very easy paper – the competition is fierce and qualifying cut-offs are high. The stage rounds then teach you what trivia quizzing actually is.

The DPS VK Quiz Club Intra 2007 was held on Wednesday, 22nd August. Boy did we have a major issue. Even though the timing of the event was announced at the last minute, too many people turned up than we could handle / had papers for (only 42 copies) / had places for them to sit. Ended up sending most of them back, retaining mostly the current members, Code Warriors (whom I called along just for wasting their study time) and some people I knew.

As I expected, the paper was something which left people stunned. Except for the members, who were prepared for this sort of stuff, most others weren’t, and ended up getting abysmal scores. So in case you’re in a mood to humiliate yourself and show that you really don’t know trivia quizzing, here are the papers… 😉

• DPS VK Quiz Club Intra 2007 Poster
• DPS VK Quiz Club Intra 2007 Paper (questions only)
• DPS VK Quiz Club Intra 2007 Question Paper (with answers)

The font used in the publicity poster is Mason (nice find, Waris). Talking about fonts, the official font of the Code Warriors is Jokerman. And if the paper depressed you so much as to want the official font of Extras Unlimited, it’s Nowdance.

PS – For the people who did try the paper, whether on that day or after downloading from here, please do add your feedback as comments!
