A brilliant quiz, coupled with an amazing experience inspired us to revive the Shadys, a beloved (?) tradition.
Since this was this season's first everyone-can-participate quiz, it will receive all our adulation and love.
To start off, when a Quiz Master says - 'I'm a professional Quiz Master.', do not believe him. Rather, prepare yourself for a *meh* experience. With absurd school-like rules (No pounce!) and the painful, forced shrouds of mystery after answering a question, the quiz took the participant back in time, reminiscing about school quizzes.
The quiz, like all quizzes started a solid hour after its advertised time of commencement. Not that we're complaining. We were quite thankful for the buffer.
During the finals, in an almost Pornob-esque question twist, the QM asked 'What is Donald Trump's middle name?' after showing a video of Jimmy Fallon imitating Trump. Oh, the spontaneity!
A major noteworthy event was triggered by a video question showing an Epic Rap Battle between Steven Spielberg and Alfred Hitchcock (video here). A team buzzed while the video was playing and said 'This is the Epic Rap Battle between Steven Spielberg and Alfred Hitchcock'. The QM said that he was going to ask 'Which British director was deemed to fat to join the army?'. Obviously, the team who buzzed were given a negative (Totally justified.).
Now, when the team was asking for the points they deserved, a random person in the audience very succinctly pointed out 'You cannot quote the Mahabharata if the answer is Yudhishtir'. To this, one of the team members responded - 'You can answer and argue when you qualify for a quiz.' *Drops mic*
Randomness ensued.
Anyway,
Being the first quiz of the semester, this was a good opening (considering we came in second and got some money, and the Epic Rap Battle IRL). However, we do hope that the questions are better next year (There was a question where they showed us an image of Larry Page and Sergey Brin and asked what they have done. I'm not kidding).
To more shadys!
