Continuing from where I left in my last post which covered the prelims round of this quiz.I couldn't qualify for the finals so what I could do next was to sit there,enjoy the quiz as a Q-BIT correspondent :P and win some audience prizes.Barring a handful of questions,the finals by quizmaster Jacob Kurian didn't match up to the questions in prelims.Tata Capital team(Govind Grewal & Preeti Shankar) or the Anjaana Anjaani team as it was named led from the beginning to finally win the quiz with almost double the score of the team coming second i.e. the Hero Honda team.I did win 4 Kit-Kats as an audience prize in a quiz that had an entry fee of Rs 7000 only :P.The quiz was followed by lunch(Chalo thoda to paisa vasool hua).While we enjoyed the lunch there,you enjoy the finals here.
