The Mica Quizzing Challenge (MQC) got off to a rollicking start with the Brand quiz as the first of four Quizzes, on 19 Aug 2011 at the Mani Iyer Auditorium in MICA with over 70 teams taking part in the preliminary round. Six top teams from the prelims went on stage to fight for the honors. The quiz was a humdinger with most teams on similar scores at the end of 3 rounds, with the final Rapidfire round becoming a virtual decider. The excitement hit feverish pitch when at the end of the Rapidfire round two teams consisting of Pulak & Dhreeteeman and Aditi & Phalguni were tied on 30 points each. This led to a Tie-breaker consisting of 5 questions, but the two teams remained even at the end of the first tie-breaker. That necessitated a second tie-breaker in which the pair of Pulak and Dhreeteeman emerged victors while Aditi and Phalguni claimed Second place. There were several audience questions with prizes for them too!
Gift vouchers were provided by Scissor Rules, fresh-n-fresh, Campus Stationers, Hollywood Optics. The event was covered by Times of India and DNA in their Ahmedabad editions.
The next Quiz is scheduled for 22 August 2011 and will be an India Quiz. That will be followed by the Sports & Entertainment and Literature quizzes. At the end of all the 4 quizzes the cumulative top 6 teams in the leaderboard will contest the Grand Finale to be crowned the Mica Quiz Champions!
