This is the prelims round of TCCQ’17 Chandigarh Edition. The quiz was hosted on March 18th, 2017 at IISER Mohali. All 20 questions are available. In favour of people who like to mock another city’s TCCQ before attempting, the answers to all 20 questions are given on the last slide. For those who like answers with questions, please see crucible-chronicles after they upload the same there. The cut-off in Chandigarh was 15. Out of top 10 teams, at least 7 had a score of 15. Giri said he expected a cut off of 9 or 10. As a surprise to seasoned quizzers, two fresher teams made it to the finals directly. I have tried to include the subtle hints that Giri gave, apart from the question appearing on screen.
