Entering the Alley
Welcome to QuizzicAlley- VJTI's very own quiz club.
The formation of this 'club' is a natural consequence of the growing interest in quizzing in VJTI for a while now. We've been meeting up informally over the last few days- each time with more people that before. This blog is an attempt at documenting the happenings at these meeting and at informing everyone about upcoming quizzes.
The meetings are open to all- anyone may attend or ask questions. Etiquette begs that you adhere to these guidelines- Raise your hand and wait for the question to be completed or for the person who is asking the question to recognize you before answering. If you're hosting a quiz, ensure that you record all the questions being asked and post them on the blog for the benefit of those who've missed out.
If you had attended a quiz session and you see that one or more of the questions asked are not listed on the blog- feel free to post them in the comments sections. If you disagree with any of the answers provided- again, feel free to use the comments section. A good suggestion to follow in this case would be to provide references.
If you wish to post something on this blog, email any of the existing contributors, or create a blogger account and leave a comment at the end of this post (You can delete it later).
Till our next quiz then....
