Inter Branch Quiz- Prelims and Finals 2023Quiz Club NITW
Conducted by Quiz Club NITW on 21st March 2023. Themed on fun facts and amazing fundas on general topics. The set above consists of questions from both the Prelims and Finals conducted for team qualified in branch qualifiers rounds.
Special Thanks to Aabhaas Dasgupta for his value contributions in making the set !
This is a quiz I made long ago. Most of those who attended have never been to Madras.
I am posting this now because there are a lot of facebook pages and quora answers with some of the fundaes from this, and posting this anytime later will make the research that went into this quiz look ordinary. Note that this quiz was held much before them (the quora answers and facebook page).
Also, many thanks to The Hindu and Madras Musings for their archives.
This was a quiz I conducted long ago. People said they didn't know much about Pokemon and hence this kind of quiz.
WARNING: There are no intermediatory slides between questions and answers.
And ignore that tamil alphabet that I used as a bullet in the first question.
