What do you do when you are sad, depressed because you didn't make it to the finals of a quiz competition of you last inter-school cultural competition? I didn't know what to do. So, here I'm writing about yet another quiz that I attended. This time it was Scinti(Scintillations), P.S school's annual cultural extravaganza(As they say). It was a general quiz, 1 team per school, 3 members per team.This time Nimmy(Nirmal), Deep and I went. We wanted to win this one very badly for this was our last inter-school culturals we would be attending.The Quiz started at 11:30 today, this was our first quiz after 3 months.
The first question was put up on the screen, we didn't understand it :/ The next few questions were okay and then came the first connect. It was fairly easy. All 3 told each other the answer simultaneously :P. Then there was a picture question, a put funda kind of question. Our answer was X:Victoria's Secret, Y:Pipa Middleton(no offense intended) :P ... And then there were questions about MJ, BBT, Ilayaraja, etc which we answered correct. The 17th question was also a connect. We were asked to connect Eminem, Mother Teresa winning the nobel peace prize. I told Nimmy that the answer was 17th of october. He misunderstood, wrote something else.
25 questions over, I was like idhu oru mattamana quiz, because we hadn't got even 10 correct then. The 31st question was some eclipse thingy. Deep said it was sun, Nimmy agreed, I disagreed. We finally squared down to Microsoft. Towards the end, we started growing in confidence as the questions were fairly easy when compared to the first half.
And yes the prelims was over. The answers were discussed. Nimmy was super happy and hyper for getting the Natalie Portman question right :P The answer for the 17th question was 17th oct and the 31st question was Sun Microsystems.
2 answers we almost wrote down on the answer sheet!!! We didn't care. We got 30 on 84:P We were confident of getting into the finals.
The results were announced, our names were missing. We asked the organizers for the cut-off for the finals. It was 32! FAIL WHALE happened! ;( We failed to make it to yet another finals by 1 question! The 17th and 31st question cost us a lot! Our dream of winning our last inter-school cultural Quiz remained a dream! :/
So, the bottom line : We went to AAB, had dahi papdi chat, returned back home! :P ;) :D
