IMS IQ 2007.

The St. Stephen's team that won IQ 2007 (Delhi) ought to call themselves "Phoenix". In the two biggest quizzes held so far (Panache and this one), they originally didn't make the final round only for them to fight and realize that their qualifying round papers hadn't been checked. They came second at Panache and yesterday, quizzed the way Federer plays tennis.
Check this, at the end of the quiz the two Stephens teams had a combined score of 215 points with the next highest team being somewhere around 50! IIT Roorkee were demolished IIT Delhi made a guest appearance and I frankly don't care who else made it.
Myself and the BVCOE guys stayed on despite us not qualifying... BVCOE's Team sh(Nimi+Nite+Dine) scored 7 out of 30 in the qualifiers, self and a couple of guys who I managed to drag along from ASE-hole Land (a fourth year dude called Ankit, who was pretty good and a second year guy called Bhanush, who kept calling me "Sir" on the phone!!) scored 11(could have been 13!) and the cut-off was 13.5!!
Millions and Billions and Billions of Blue Blistering Carl Sagans!!!
The quiz was good. Some genuinely awesome questions with a few weird ones thrown in, but it was an event where I can't say that I had wasted my time attending it.
Justin, Arka and Abhinav from St.Stephens get to participate in the All-India Semis and Finals (if they make it!) which is aboard a Star Cruise Liner off Goa and which will be broadcast on CNBC TV-18.
