Quizzing You Can Believe In!
Hyd Quiz Forum is where I took quizzing a serious business. That was a place where I’ve seen lot of trivia based quizzes than you-know-it-or-you-don’t-know-it quizzes. I had done quite a lot of quizzes inside Infosys, and few outside.
Yesterday I had my first quiz at K-Circle, the oldest quizzing fraternity in Hyderabad. They are quizzing since 1972, and does weekly quizzes without fail every week. Since I’m living at the other part of the world where this quiz happens, I was never a regular there.
It was at their last open quiz happened in ISB when Devarajan Sir caught me ask asked me to do a quiz at K-Circle. Though I was not sure how he knew me, I happily accepted it, and did the quiz yesterday.
Had a deck of 70 questions. But thanks to AP Transco, I lost 30 minutes, and ended up doing 50. Probably I’ll do another set of 50 soon.
The turnout was decent, considering that BEQ happened on the same day, where in you’ll get free food, masala quiz, and costly prizes. There were a few friends who landed for the quiz. Nafee was particularly sad that she couldn’t come. She never seen me doing a quiz, since most of it happens inside the organization.
I’m sharing the deck, for those folks who ditched me for Derek, and those who couldn’t make it due to geographical constraints.
PS1: Not only that I don’t believe in IP/Copyright, I’m an ardent supporter of Free licenses. If you haven’t noticed yet, contents of this blog is licensed under WTFPL. You are free to use this quiz in whatever way you want, including erasing my name from, and presenting it as yours. A credit and a backlink is always nice, but not mandatory.
PS2: I normally use presentations as a support medium. There is lot of clues and gyaan that I add on-the-fly during the quiz session. You obviously would miss that. It is very likely that some of these doesn’t even look like a question. Be prepared for that.
PS3: If you’re in Hyderabad, do checkout the next session of K-Circle. The details are updated here every week.
PS4: People who share the same geography as mine, (HITEC City/Gachibowli) how about a Quiz club here in this part of the world? But mind, it’s not an easy thing to happen. I have been looking for a few folks who could help me set this up. If you’re interested do contact me or drop in a comment.
PS5: If you did enjoyed the quiz, and is looking for help in organizing a quiz, do contact me.
BTW, Terrific news: Infosys Pune and Chandigarh teams won their respective leagues, and moved on to national finals.

Stumbled across this, never having even heard of Quizzing, and now I believe I’ll look into it. In a world where few seem to care about the details, this is a nice thing. Thanks!
