Welcome to "Quiz-o-pedia"!

Hello,

Since we begin in the next 2 hrs, here is all what you need to do, to be a part of the best quizzing experience online!

Quiz-o-pedia will be hosting two quizzes (10 odd questions each) every Saturday and Sunday. Fellow "Quizopedics" need to answer these questions in the comments section of the post. The answers and the leader board will be posted next week along with a fresh set of questions.

The Saturday Quiz:

The Saturday quiz will consist of an easier lot of questions, split across various themes. A good level for the beginners and amateur quizzers who can put in fundaes and trivia to crack them.

The Sunday Quiz:

Sundays will be more action packed with the level of quizzing being taken to newer heights. This will be Pro level quizzing and is the right level for the seasoned quizzer to feast upon.

Scores and Points:

A right answer on Saturday will earn you 1(one) QP point.

A right answer on Sunday will earn you 2(two) QP points, unless explicitly mentioned.

Redemption:

The cumulative scores over the weeks will be registered and those meeting cut off points criteria would be rewarded with redemption coupons where they can convert their QP points to cool goodies from Quiz-o-pedia.

Details about the redemption plan will be communicated at a later stage.

Rules and Timelines:

1. Their will be an exact six days deadline for the submission of answers as comments. Late entries are thus not encouraged.

2. "Googling" is absolutely allowed, however we request you to give it your best logical shot first. Google helps in finding the answer, not the satisfaction of answering.

3. The Quiz Master discretion will be final and abiding.

Surprises and More:

There are a host of other things that we plan to bring across to you gradually, that will keep you entertained and enlighten you at the same time. Will be sharing the details in our further posts.

The Beginning!

Quizzing has always been a passion. The pleasure that one gets while cracking a question and the obvious "wow" effect when you get to know the answer is what makes the passion even stronger.

There is one thing though that I regret, why didn't I start earlier, why was this passion unfelt for a lot many years, the reason, well could be ignorance on my part or just the lack of avenues to give me that one start initially.

Quiz-o-pedia is an initiative that will build the fundamental blocks of reason, and as the great Mr. Holmes puts it, it will be "Elementary, my dear Watson!".

Here is for everyone who will soon experience the "Wow" of their lives and for those for whom its still not late to start Quizzing.. my passion!

Now lets get started! Happy Quizzing!
