Mothers and sons, grandparents and grandchildren tested their presence of mind with these homonyms and more on Sunday at the Patna Mind Fest 2018 organised by NGO Extra C in collaboration with the IAS Officers' Association.

The two-day festival ended with a cryptic crossword, word bee and general quiz at Bihar Museum.

Bihar State Planning Board chief adviser Harjot Kaur Bamhara and Class III GD Goenka Public School student Hardeep won Saturday's India quiz. On Sunday they came back to participate in word bee and crack the clues.

Retired LIC official Arun Pratap Narayan, 67, also teamed up with grandson Radiant International School student Misu Sinha, as did St Karen's High School teachers Preety and Khushboo.

"I participated in the contest for my son. We enjoyed a lot while during the two-day fest. These programmes force you to think and increase your general knowledge. More of such events should be organised in Patna," said Harjot as Hardeep celebrated each of his correct answers.

He jumped on his chair, cheered aloud, bringing smiles to the faces of people in the audience.

Arun and Misu won the runner-up trophy in word bee conducted by Venky Srinivasan, alumnus of IIM-Bangalore, and co-founder of Bangalore-based Nexus Consulting. Misu also bagged first place in the cryptic crossword contest.

Venky's general quiz round was also fun.
