Bumpy

Notification for last weekend's quiz was to be put up on the blog by Milo and Minderbinder. He forgot. It's amazing how inspite of this, 10 (hardcore at best and jobless at not their best) quizzers turned up at Prabhadevi for the Rohan Murarka quiz at 4:30 on Sunday evening.

Then we waited, at the terrace, for the Quiz Master. When the wait lasted for fifteen minutes and fifty bad puns, we called up Rohan who said that he was at Dadar. Then we waited for twenty more minutes. Water was had. Coke was hand. Coke ran out, then water ran out as well. Rohan would have reached Worli considering how late it was getting. The Saint was threatening to run towards the Grand Prix.

Then suddenly Rohan was spotted down below (we were at the terrace) and soon we started quizzing.

Much fun came through the mix of workable questions, a lot of which were answered by educated guesses. One question which foxed us a lot was this old man who was Rohan's favourite (we didn't ask why). Try guessing...Back to the quiz, it was a close affair in the end, made remarkable by the fact that all of us got to eat crunchy granola bars in the middle (joy of quizzing in a stocked up house). Amongst other questions, the opera which got inspired by a play on Parisian artists in 1890s and what came from "when you peel off the fake ____, you will get the real ____" were appreciated. Rohan will hopefully send us some of the better questions for this post - soon.

In the end, Milo and I won by 2 questions margin and three teams - the Saint & Rishi, Amit & Leslie, and Vibhendu, Ashish & Samrat (the cricket expert and super sub, who was expertly prevented from answering a cricket question by Amit) close behind (probably not in that order) separated by half a question each.

Then, to celebrate a quiz well made, we decided to do what we do best - give bumps to the quizmaster.
