BT Acumen 2006
The Quiz Club decided to venture out for its first quiz outside the city and the team decided to take a shot at one of the biggest quizzes in South India the “Acumen 2006”. The field was highly competitive with traditional powerhouses such as IIMB and IITM competing against upstarts like LIBA and XIME. The LIBA boys were represented by the “Guru” Arup and “Newbie” Ravi.
The prelims had 25 questions and it had all sorts of questions ranging from:
Which Country’s airline is called the Olympic Air?
To some other interesting ones like:
Who was the designer of the Volkswagen Beetle?
Some questions were really tough and at the end of it the LIBA boys put up a brave effort and managed to miss of the cut-off by just a fraction. On the whole, this experience will be very good for the fledging Quiz Club and the team should hope to build on such experiences become a competitive team in the months to come.
The finals saw IIMB slugging it out with IITM, ICFAI-B and XIME, with the IIMB winning the title. Good quiz set mostly by Anustup Dutta. Well handled by Harsha Bhogle. Even though we were part of the audience, we had a lot of fun and Arup even managed to win an audience prize in the end. On the whole it was a brilliant experience for Quizzers from LIBA and yet another T-Shirt to the collection.
