2. General Rules The QM is always right, unless conclusively proven to be wrong! Since the QM stinks at math, all scores will be multiples of 5 or 10 Since the QM suffers from “ Answer-Jaldi-De ” syndrome, time limit for every question will ideally be 7 secs. In some rounds, it may be higher at 12-15 secs In certain cases, a clue may be included with the question, and the question passed around once again. The entire quiz shall function on the “ bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce-bounce……………………………………………” format QM is NOT responsible for post-quiz trauma (if any)
