Rajiv Rai and Movin Miranda romped to an emphatic win in the BQC quiz last Sunday, as the rest of us cowered under tables and hid behind chairs. "This is a conference room, not a Hollywood film," we begged, "stop firing." But they kept shooting answers at Sheriff Harshil Shah, the quizmaster, who caught a flight back to the USA a few hours after the quiz. It is clear why.
Rajiv extended his lead on top of the BQC rankings with this win, while Sumant Srivathsan and Kedar Sastry came second, followed by Rishi Iyengar and Amit Pandeya in third place. The quiz was entertaining -- pun intended, as there were some excellent questions on entertainment, all of which I have forgotten because I am aged now. (Subscribers have access to all questions of all BQC quizzes, so, ahem!)

Are the questions posted somewhere? Can I take a potshot? I have just joined the group.
The BQC subscriber's group is for members who have paid up their membership fees which will, we hope, go to fund our very own Open quiz. Our next quiz is on 6-Jan and we do have a look-see policy, which lets you attend a couple of quizzes to find out if you like it. We have a quiz every two weeks. I see you're on Elite. I'll drop you a mail if you want to find out more about membership etc.
