#QuizNews #DonQuizzote #ThemeSpirit We are planning to organise an interim Don Quizzote, which we propose to name “Don Quizzote 2.5”, on Sunday the 12th of October, 2014 at Jorhat. The exact venue is being worked out. Additionally, we, from Renquizza, are all set to launch a third quizzing label after the first two – Don Quizzote and Greenqwich – reach cult status. The new label, termed “Theme Spirit”, would be a thematic lone-wolf written quiz, as the name suggests. Theme Spirit in its inaugural version would feature three sub-themes. One winner each from the three sub-themes would be awarded, besides choosing the overall champion of “Theme Spirit 1.0”. The three sub-themes of “Theme Spirit 1.0” are chosen to be as follows – 1. The F-Words (Food, Football, Films, Funda) by El Biswajit. 2. You Quiz in Bullets, I’ll Answer in Ballots (A quiz on politics) by Nayanmoni Baruah. 3. Of Red Cherries and Uncertain Corridors (The ultimate cricket quiz) by Sofrimento Chandan. Each of the three sub-theme of Theme Spirit will feature 20 questions, thus making Theme Spirit a 60 questions affair. Don Quizzote would follow its own set course – which is a general funda-filled team quizzing with pounching. Winning any of the quizzes would fetch you some prizemoney for sure, although that would be more of a token kind. For that matter, and also because we are organising this with a depleted Renquizza team, we are reluctant to call it Don Quizzote 3.0, but happy enough to present as Don Quizzote 2.5, which would by conducted by yours truly. Yesterday one quizzard asked me why Don Quizzote takes an unusually long time of 3 to 4 years to reappear. I answered that it is like Olympic, or at least like the Commonwealth Games. Yes, what is at stake is not (much of) money, but pride and an unforgettable quizzical pleasure and experience. More updates would follow…
