Flop show

On Republic day,I had been to the 8th edition of the 'Odyssey Quiz' here in Chennai.This was the third time i have been to it and it turned out to be the worst ever Open Quiz i have ever been to.Almost all of the 35 questions in the prelims were related to things of the past and not even one was from sports or current events and there was no Harry Potter!Apart from the fact that the questions were damn tough (when compared to those in the previous editions) they weren't interesting either.It looked like a quiz meant only for the pro's.4 out of the 8 teams that made it to the finals were the same that went to stage the last time around.Popular quizmaster V.V.Ramanan's team 'QED'(defending champs) finished second.A team from Chennai won.(A team apiece from Mumbai,Hyberabad made it to the final).

The registration to the quiz was earlier done only by submitting the filled up forms in any of the Odyssey outlets.But this year it had to be done only through the net.The turnout of the people was terribly low as a result of the move.Only around 600 teams would have been there.As there wasn't much ad's or ado's...only the regulars would have come to the event.The finals was also not much exciting.Perhaps,the only interesting fact that i drove home was that :
When a female frog is injected with the urine of a pregnant woman,it lays eggs!!
I don't even remember the question for this answer.Overall,the quiz was a flop.Even student organised open quizzes i have been to earlier have been better.I left home dissappointed and so did my friends.We learnt not to carry too much expectations for anything.Expectations only make a defeat/dissappointment bitter but doesn't make a victory more sweeter.
