The Quizzes Sweep Past

The BQC hasn't quite been inactive of late, but it's certainly been out of the public eye, mainly due to the results of our quizzes not being updated here -- entirely the fault of this blogger. There are two quizzes that took place recently that went unreported. Here are the brief reports:

On January 19, when our designated quizmaster for the day failed to turn up, Rajiv Rai and Amit Pandeya conducted half a quiz each. They were also in the winning team. How's that, you ask? Well, each took part in the half of the quiz that he did not conduct, instead of the other. Amit excelled in the second half of the quiz, which Rajiv conducted.

Sadly, the scoresheet mysteriously went missing, but here are the results as we can reproduce them:

1st Rajiv Rai, Amit Pandeya, Souvik Basu and X, 2nd Vibhendu Tiwari, Ajith Prabhakar and Mukund Krishnan, 3rd Sumant Srivathsan, Ameya Samant and Kishalaya Bhattacharjee

On February 3, Pradeep Ramarathnam and Arun Srinivas conducted half a quiz each -- and took part in the half they didn't conduct. The results:

1st with 25 points
AP Alagarsamy
Ajith Prabhakar
Devang Ghia

2nd with 24 points
Govind Grewal
Souvik Basu
Kedar Sastry

3rd with 22 points
