Rajiv Rai topped the league table after the final BQC quiz of its third season, winning by a whopping margin of 47 points over his open-quiz team-mate, Sumant Srivathsan. Their third man, Vibhendu Tiwari, finished the season with a strong win to take third place in the league standings. After that we were all bunched up like college kids in a moshpit, headbanging furiously as these three strummed their mojo.
No, well, really, this season, more than the last two, the competition was severe. BQC's quizzing depth can now safely be compared to any other major city, and on a given day there are 10 to 15 people capable of kicking serious ass and winning a quiz on their own. There was much action in the second half of this season, especially, when some new and some improved quizzers put in a seriously strong show. That means Season 4 will be tight. We'll all be in the moshpit.
The 25th and final quiz of the season was a grand affair conducted by Anannya Deb. There were more than 100 questions, and many local Bombay fundas. A good time was had by all , and it was a fitting way to end the season.
And so, the results of this last quiz:
1st place Vibhendu Tiwari, Goving Grewal, Srikant Narasimhan.
2nd place Rajiv Rai, Sidharth Vij + 1
3rd place (tied) Sumant Srivathsan, Anand Sivasankar, Vijay Shankar
3rd place (tied) Ajith Prabhakar, Kaustuv Gupta, Devang Ghia
And now, will a roll of trumpets and a tray of turnips, the results of season 3!
