The Jamshedpur round of Tata Crucible quiz commenced yesterday. As Jamshedpur does not have a very good quizzing crowd I was not expecting a great quiz, but believe me it was one of the best quizzes I have ever witnessed. And all credit goes to quizmaster Giri Balasubramanian "Pickbrain". The best thing about this quiz was that, a lot of answers could be worked out ( not all informational questions, some were inferencial as well).
I am putting down some of the questions and their answers, which I remember.
