Amazing that you have posted the questions here!

i overheard one of the 'popular' quizzers sitting behind me say Giri might actually hold the distinction of being the only quiz-master in the country to have more questions in the prelims than the finals!
finally after all the experimentation he realized plain old simple rounds of quizzing works the best!
Cheers

Dear Mouli,

I think it is we 'popular' quizzers' opinion that Giri was pointing out to last night ;) (about self proclaimed critics et al..)

wat one must note is that sans the mathematical models and names that were provided to all rounds in the previous editions, the rounds remained the same- crossword/lateral/speed etc. they just got new names..

and i think our 'popular' quizzer was damn right when he said those esteemed words:)

happy quizzing..

may giri live on to take more digs at ppl..

cheers!!
