HT InQUIZitive 2007 Finals

It took some time coming, but the HT InQUIZitive 2007 finals paper is finally here. I’d like to thank Prateek Vijayavargia who compiled the stuff together and had taken down the questions – I only added the round descriptions. Pretty good quiz, good enough level. Concentrating on stage is always what’s the problem though 😉

MINET 2007 Question Paper Downloads

MINET 2007 Quiz trophyZe trophy I got at MINET – doesn’t the design look like it’s something Al Qaeda would give to its members when they achieve 42 headshots (ha, I said the ‘f-word’ again Akshay :p ) in Eye-raq?

Finally, phew. My net connection was out for quite a few days, so I didn’t get time to put this up. Here’s a compilation of the question papers which came at MINET 2007, except for the Decode event, whose answers I haven’t been able to tally up with the MIS team despite repeated efforts to contact them.

  1. MINET 2007 Crossword
  2. MINET 2007 Quiz Prelims
  3. MINET 2007 Programming
  4. MINET 2007 Quiz Finals
  5. MINET 2007 Decode

I’d like to bring your attention to the quiz finals stuff here. Notice carefully the rule against saying 42. That was put in on the day of the event by Akshay because he was fed up with me giving 42 as THE Answer :p. And notice that after question 41, they gave question 43 – so 42 is the new 13 for him. He screwed up though and the actual slide of question ’43’ says 42 (which, naturally, I’ve highlighted).

Will be putting up Decode solutions when I’m able to confirm all answers. Go through all of these amazing papers till then. Kudos to the MINET team for coming up with more than 42 (that THAT Akshay) good questions – it was a fun paper to do in all. The original Windows executables that were something I transferred to my cellphone from the MIS laptop when nobody was around, in case you’re wondering.
