Word Wide Web (question paper attached)

DISCLAIMER – Nothing official about this post. These are just my thoughts.

————————–

It’s the first day of  Felicity ‘09! Literary cafe came up with two really  new events namely Telewise and Word Wide Web.  Telewise was designed test people’s knowledge on television shows like Friends, Heroes, Scrubs,etc.. oops.. etcetera.  It had an amazingly great participation of   around 120 people from and from outside IIIT. Teams were of 3 persons each. 6 teams were selected for the second round.  The event was conducted smoothly and people liked the smart and tricky questions asked to them. Jairaj’s buzzer worked well too.

Other one was Word Wide Web. This is the first event that I have organized( Hey me and Sahil were going to organize an event named ‘Lol’ipop’ when we were in the second year in the sunday carnival, which did not take place) and before I start saying more.. I thank akshat, nirvana, anika(organizers of WWW) and Sahil and Aakansha(Literary coordinators) for their effort and for making the task possible and so easy.  They came up with really beautiful names and ideas for games and designed and tested and retested them. Akshat also designed the event description and the event tagline. Sahil’s support was very good . He got everything ready before time be it the question papers or  writing stuff etc. First idea for the event came to Aakansha, as far as i remember. The basic philosophy behind WWW was giving people the freedom to use their own words to solve puzzles which were somewhat different from the routine puzzles, crosswords etc.

Many(read 100!)  people took part in the event from and from outside IIIT.  In general, the participants were happy to have solved those puzzles.

Here’s the question paper.
