Oasis Quiz Lone Wolf Edition 2011 Mumbai

The Oasis Quiz Lone Wolf Edition is the annual lone wolf quiz conducted by ELAS, the quizzing club at BITS Pilani.

It will be a 90 minute 120 question written solo quiz, held simultaneously across various venues across the country. The quiz is open to all. The college-level winner in each venue will be invited to Pilani during Oasis, the annual cultural festival of BITS-Pilani to participate in a mega showdown. Prizes for college category and open category winners. The winner here will be crowned champion and, needless to say, will win lots of money and pride and honour.

We will be having our regular BQC session after the quiz (at around 14:00-14:30). Details on that quiz in a bit.

Please get a writing instrument along as this is a written quiz.

Delhi Vs Mumbai

Travellers from the north used to bring news of a quizzer called Dr.Bhatta, calling him the most adept and cultivated quizzer they had seen. He had travelled far and wide, sparring his skills with duellers from the Dutch and Peruvian quizzing cliques. In this country, he garnered great acclaim for his tour de force in Mastermind and Tata Crucible, and also created the Kutub Quizzers, which has since churned out a bevy of Quizzers. He has now thrown down the gauntlet to us Mumbaikars, and we will have to turn out in numbers in order to put up a worthy fight. It is going to be chaotic, more chaotic than any purportless Anna Hazare public rally.

(A mole tells us that Dr.Bhatta. the Nat Geo champion, will load up on History and Geography for the quiz. We will have to use our secret weapon. It starts with a Vikram and ends with a Joshi.)



Quizmaster: Dr. S Bhattacharya

Newcomers are welcome at BQC quizzes, and do not need to form teams before coming. Teams are normally formed by a draw of lots at the venue itself, and everybody gets to take part. The questions are generally not the boring "you-know-it-or-you-don't" types, but accessible and workoutable ones.

Debonair - India Edition

They call him the BQC’s answer to the KQA yearbooks. Anannya Deb has compiled more quizzes than most quizmasters have framed questions. We thought we’d pull a fast one on this sports and gen guru by asking him to put together a themed India quiz in a very short time. And the answer is all set to smack us in the face in three days time. Be ready to be quizzed about almost anything India; from the time of the Mehrgarh settlements in the Indus valley, to the now 63 years and 51 weeks old modern nation.
If you want to win, we suggest you set up camp for 3 days in the India section of Landmark, and then crush a pill into Vibhendu’s lunch before coming.
