Dear ardent quizzer,

It is possible that some of you still wake up in the middle of the

night, screaming and sweating, imagining that you are back in Sreeram

and Sankhya's cricket quiz. In the dream, it is circa summer 2012. A

question has appeared on the slide about a cricketer who fielded once,

as 12th man, for an MCC XI that played an MCC second XI in a friendly,

non-documented match in 1897. You squirm and despair; you wonder if

you will ever see your parents and / or children again; you find you

have forgotten what the warmth of the sun feels like on your skin. You

put down "Smith," just in case. Then the next question comes up,

asking for the only cricketer to have taken a first-class wicket,

eaten dinner at 10 Downing Street, AND written a novel that sold 4,000

copies or more, all simultaneously.

That is what we at QFI Chennai are all about: creating memories.

In that onward campaign, QFI Chennai announces the dates and details

of its annual quiz blowout QFIesta 2013, to enable you to better plan your travel

and memorise the faces of your loved ones. The regulation quiz-orgy

weekend will take place over July 13-14. 

We'd say rich prizes await - and they do - but surely we do it all for

the memories, do we not?

Dates: Saturday and Sunday, July 13-14, 2013

Venue: IIT Madras, Central Lecture Theatre (Air-conditioned! Cushioned

seats! Aunties heckling Udupa!)

Teams for all quizzes: Up to three members per team

Registration fee for all quizzes: Rs. 100 per quiz

DAY 1: Saturday, July 13, 2013

9:30 am: Travel, Tourism & Adventure (by VV Sivakumar, Thejaswi Udupa, Ramkey V)

1 pm: The AV quiz (by TK Balaji, Ashwin Kumar, Vijay Sarathy) 

3:30 pm: The Movie Quiz (by TK Balaji, Kiran Vijayakumar)

DAY 2: Sunday, July 14, 2013

9:30 am: ScEnt of a Quiz - the Science and Entertainment Quiz (by Ravi

Mundoli, Ashwin Prabhu, IRCTC Rajagopal)

3:30 pm: The QFI Open 2013 (by Jayakanthan, Swaminathan G, Samanth S)

We will certainly start on time on both days, and we will endeavour to

finish by 8:30 pm as well. But teams planning to leave Chennai on

Sunday night may want to book the last flight / train available, just

in case. The venue, IIT Madras, is not far from the airport, but it is

something of a schlep to the railway station, so budget at least 45

minutes to get to Chennai Central by auto-rickshaw.
