Answer - My first question ever which could not be cracked. Surprised !!!

Anyway, the images are: Alan Kay, an eminent Xerox PARC researcher and scientist who started the OLPC (logo depicted). He came up with the original idea of a laptop in 1968 which was not supported commercially by Xerox. Epson (tagline depicted) took up the idea and made the first ever portable computer. Quanta Computer(bottom left) is the largest OEM for Apple, Dell, Lenovo & all the major companies making laptops with a global market share of nearly 30%. The Alan Kay concept was called The Dyna, indicated by the Harley Davidson Dyna shown in the upper left image. The common theme, obviously is the Laptop Computer !!!

Qricket Review

For some reason, this review seems hard to write. Not that I don't remember the details, coz
believe me, this quiz will be embedded deep in my memory. Why?

1. I remember Debjit and Pranshumaan giving us the idea about this quiz few weeks back and I liked the idea at first. But, somehow it seemed "un-do-able". Then, seeing their enthusiasm, I got excited too and we ended up making 5 rounds! Everyday, they came to my room where we made the ppts, just sat behind me while I dragged the pics around and the discussions turned from minutes to hours, going past dinners. It was unbelievable.
2. The amount of hassle in getting the permissions for organising will not be forgotten. To sum it up, here's a message I had sent to Debjit when I was on the verge breakdown:
"There needs to be a bloody guidebook for permissions in this college.
I just got a permission to get a permission!
INCEPTION!"

3. Qricket was planned to be the last quiz in CAT by us this semester. ANd we wanted to end it on a high. So, we hiked the prize money from 3 to 5k and changed a few questions. This quiz was not going to be a publicity stunt or "just another quiz".

4. All this paid off when I took the mic to address the crowd of around 150-160, all huddled up together in the audi, missing their evening snacks after a gruelling day of classes and labs. And all this for a quiz? In our college, where till last year, if you said "I quiz", you'd get shunned as if you're supporting England?! Believe it or not, I will upload some hazy pics from Debjit's cellphone when the internet allows me to do so here.

5. It was a cricket quiz! We love cricket! Even more so at the moment. So, the "chance pe dance" had to pay off. And it did! I found it a great way to celebrate the World Cup in India! As for the quiz, it went smoothly. I had gotten a spare projector in case the one in the audi gave up on us like last time. But, we didnt need it. No errors in timing, buzzer, scoring or the presentation. Smooth as it could have been!

Prelim cutoff went up to 11 with highest score being 14. The stage consisted of 3 2k7 teams, 2 from 2k8 and 1 from 2k9.
Results:
1. Kunal & Nikhil by a good margin of 55 points.
2. Saptarishi & Pushkar
3. Varun & Akshay
All from 2k7. Congratulations guys! I hope you remember this quiz after you pass out. :)

The teams that didnt make it to the top 3 to get the cash prizes were
Sparsh & Vivek (2k8), Vinit & Ankit(2k8) and Rahul & Vivek (2k9). Well done to them for being such great sports and giving us a splendid show!

The slideshare links to the ppts will be posted soon. As per last count, the ppts have been download 41 times from DC. I wish those 40 were there in the quiz instead!

We're really honoured to have gotten so far in 1 year. A lot has changed for QBIT and I think it mostly has been good. 6 total quizzes with around 380 questions asked, a steady group of quizzers following us and an increasing number of participation makes it evident. But, our job isn't even  half done. A lot to do over the next two semesters and a lot to expect from the 2k11 batch. I sign off here with immense satisfaction and hope we can get even better next time around! Thank you!

Daily Trivia #435 : Aktiengesellschaft

Connect the above images !!!

(Specify the significance of each image in the given context and refrain from partial answers.)

The correct answer is indeed Puma AG, as correctly answered in all the three responses.

Great job for cracking each part of the question.

Another Puma trivia - Puma was initially named Ruda by Rudi Dassler in a similar fashion as his brother Adi Dassler who called his company Adidas. Credit to both of them for starting two giants of the fashion & sports industry with a whopping $10+ billion in annual revenues combined together!!!

Q-BIT Mesra reaches new heights

Move over Anu Malik. Pritam you are passe...


Introducing Zarf'11.

In an act that can be best described UNETHICAL, and DOWNMARKET PLAGIARISM. The organizer of the Cricket QUIZ at this fest blatantly copied the poster from our very own cricket quiz.

check out these two posters and make your own decision





When contacted on Facebook the so called organizer , conveniently first makes the excuse of the fest being a local fest

"kya cradit chahiye tumko ? it's not a international event.... just a college level.... so don't warry "

and then invokes his "CREATIVITY"

"think before taking any step aginst AMU....... otherwise we will show our creativity on u also..... keep ur mouth shut i will change my poster soon..... i can't want hear even a single word from ur side..... understand"

Considering the heritage of their college we think its beneath their standards to plagiarize the poster of “Qricket” from our QBIT’s blog with the complete logo, and then respond in the most un parliamentary language possible when confronted.

I wonder if this is the respect we give to creativity in our country.

PS : The spelling or grammer mistakes, if any are not mine :P

1.On the 50th anniversary of Queen Victoria's rule in 1906,a Jubilee flame was taken all along the country to celebrate her rule. When the flame reached Punjab, Bishna and Manda  misheard the word ‘Jubilee’ for X and started writing verses that channelled the anger of the region against the British as symbolised by the Jubilee flame.X became a metaphor for the growing unrest against the British.Today X is used to refer a rebellious, fiery female character in many songs.Whats X?

2.This question owes its existence to the great find by Shoaib Daniyal.Identify this beauty.

3.Though the idea for this competition came from the lady on the top,the competition gets its name from another lady's name who took up the idea forward.Identify this trophy and both the ladies.
