Mostly reign, with a chance of heil.

In the last few months, Vikram Joshi has become the hottest topic of discussion in pubs and cafes across Europe with top 10 finishes in the WQC and the Norwegian quiz. This Sunday however, BQC will finally see a different Sunday champion, as Vik is taking the QM's seat. He is doing a rerun of the quiz he did last week in Hyderabad, which was very well received and reviewed.

No school like old school

After complaints that the recent string of written quizzes were giving an MBA entrance exam feel, we are back to old fashioned quizzing, with biz-gawd veteran Pravin Verma taking the QM's seat this Sunday.  If this one is even close to how good and prolific Pravin's quiz was last year, we should be in for a super Sunday afternoon.

World Quizzing Championship 2013

One of the most liked written quizzes of the year is happening this Saturday.  BQC will host the Bombay leg of the 2013 World Quizzing Championship on 1st June at 4 pm at our usual venue Pinstorm.

As usual, it will be a 240 question written quiz, divided into 8 sections of 30 questions each. A participant's score will be the sum of his/her best 7 sectional scores.

Pre registration is compulsory as we will have limited answer sheets. On the spot participation will be allowed only if any of the registered participants pull off a no-show. But taking that risk is stupid. Really very stupid. Please register HERE.

Once again, please note that the Quiz is on Saturday, 1st June at 4 pm. Please get a writing instrument along. Don't go around begging for an extra pen. That's just stupid.

Bollywood Ka Boss

Vibhendu Tewari is always the last word when it comes to Indian Cinema. Youve seen him answer AV questions without looking at the AV. You've seen him point out mistakes in a question, and still answering it better than the actual answer slide. He wont get a chance to do all that this Sunday, because the master turns Quiz-master for a 100 question Quiz he has set as a tribute to Indian cinema completing 100 years.

It will be a written quiz with all dry (no AV) questions, to be completed in 2 hours. In order to print enough answer sheets, we require contestants to register for the quiz soon. Please register HERE. Registration is free.

Quizmaster: VIbhendu Tewari
 When: 3 PM, Sunday, 30th May 2013 (Please be there by 2:45 PM)
