How can a quiz be so dumb ???

Hello fellas , I am writing this post to say how people are so dumb and how the quizzing can be so ugly.
This happened at my companies greatest “corporate” quiz ( I don’t say that it’s a corporate quiz , it’s a quiz for dumb asses” ) I am very strong here, after seeing the quiz I am writing the comments , how can they be so dumb that simplest of simplest q’s went unanswered.

It was a quiz where I stood out and argued that the quiz is not properly organized, I knew that quiz was messed up, even many active quizzers joined me and suggested them to change the patterns and the way it was organized. But dumb organizers, who dot know the scent of quizzing wee never ready to budge. Of course I say those are the ******** , the quiz was webcasted. Bloody what a waste of money.

Derek o brein associate had organised this quiz, the quiz after being seen , made me to say that Derek o brein has lost the sense of quizzing. Though he was not there, his associate who organized the quiz made us to agree that the quiz was one of the worst in Indian history.

The quiz had some 25 prelims q’s it seems , one of my colleague told me, dumb people 16 was the highest, all easy questions, even a high school kid would have scored 20+ in this. The people who were there the best of our company it seems ( I don’t know who said that, useless fellow, I know many good quizzers were eliminated by dumb quizzing which is not authentic in any means, they would have put a wrath on the quiz organizers )


The finals began with some dumb and crazy speech by the quiz master (Adrian scolt), what a way t start the quiz be asking all people to stand up and do yoga. Is this a way to start quiz???? All quizzers listen here, u follows this idea from now onwards. The 18 participants were called on stage and as per the quiz master auction happened and 6 tams were formed, what a hapless way of quizzing and forming teams. At Mysore some 30 people were watching it started to curse the quiz master , of course he was wasting some precious time.

Then all the best so called, assembled and occupied the seats , the first round was identify the person round , how come the quiz master ask a question where one clue was ( the first clue) he was the judge of Mumbai court , god on earth how many have become judges of the court , people have to guess it seems, one of the question was on JRD Tata , where the teams were unable to identify even after all the 3 clues were given.

The quiz had the usage of copyrighted material at will , all round names were dedicated to SRK , and questions were below standard and no team were competent enough to answer any of the questions. Of course the quiz master was also dumb he was not at all knowing to which team he was asking the question , claming t o have done 300 + quizzes , he cant act so dumb o stage, where he doesn’t know which team was asked the question. Pls don’t do this else where.

The 6 onstage teams were so dumb that some of the silly things they made were, guessing Timberlake’s voice as voice of Madonna, celine dion , shaan ….
Guessing shaun tait as Indian cricketer, also many silly answers which ould have made genuine quizzers to think how dumb the quizzing culture is present in the company they are working. Of course the team which won the quiz was also no was exception, they were lucky t o win the quiz.

I still crtiticse the rounds which the quiz master kept in the quiz . one of the round was showing 2 pictures and asking the teams to fill in the blanks with the words formed by the two pictures? How the hell can they do these thing in a GK quiz , is it a company’s entrance test??? Also some of the questions were so dumb that even there was no scent of the GK there. The quiz has all sports questions relating to IPL and cricket ONLY, boss there are other sports also. And some GK questions were not a standard one , they were doing quiz in the manner of some comedy show .


I was amazed that why people criticize Derek o brein associates , it was a live demo of that, I personally never expected that this quiz would e so dumb in all the aspects , but it failed to match the expectation of the employees , any how the dumbest of the dumbest team will win a trip to Denmark , so unlucky….

Any ways one more quiz will be held by Derek himself. Finally it went on well with some good questions and some good and dumb answering; the most irritating part in the finals was some idiot guy laughing like a dumb ass in the microphone. Seriously ,he did not have any common sense at all , he was screaming for all the dumb saying of Derek, it was just like sorry I don’t want to say any thing abt it , it’s a waste of time and space in my blog. The teams were still dumb to answer some tricky questions, Derek had been given instruction by the organizers it seems, he revolved his quiz on only Hindi film industry and some repeated questions which are asked in has quizzes, he was also very eager to make the organizers to distribute free t shirts. One good thing ion the quiz was very good questions which was liked by me personally. but one more suggestion to derk , pls have some good questions in near future in your quizzes, I know there I s a lot of effort that goes on to research the Q’s, but when you are organizing quizzes ,maintain some good quizzing levels like Arul and avinash do . Seriously I enjoy their quizzes more than yours.

Alas this is it, the quiz which was supposed to be won by my team (Bala, me and Sandesh were the team supposed to be on stage) which we never made it due to some internal politics and dumb hosting and crappy rules. Hoping for some more quizzes of a better organized one in near future.
