The Sweden India Nobel Memorial Quiz 2009

The Sweden India Nobel Memorial Quiz was held at IIT Delhi today. The Delhi round featured written prelims that saw 5 teams go through the finals. 3 other teams from Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore , who had qualified the respective regional rounds were also present for the finals.

The big revelation was that the quiz would be 7 rounds of general quizzing with only 3 rounds dedicated to the Nobel The prelims were a hurried affair with 30 questions, all spoken out by quizmaster Srinjoy Chowdhury and no coming back to questions. The finals were good, with some nice trivia questions.In the end, the team from NSIT ( myself, roshan and dernhelm ) won the quiz quite convincingly.

Sample Questions :

1) Anita and Arabella were 2 animals taken into space. For what purpose were they taken ?

2) Who is the only Wimbledon winner who was also engaged to a Wimbledon winner, but instead married a Playboy model ?

3) Mosammat Taslima Begum collected the Nobel Prize on the behalf of which Nobel Prize Winner ?

4 ) Which Indian Cricket Captain was born in Godhra ?
