Quizmaster Autunis was thoroughly floored by the enthusiasm and eagerness with which the young guns participated in the event.
He said, “It was an absolute honour and pleasure to conduct the quiz at DI, which is the Mecca of quizzing, not just in Calcutta, but I believe in the entire country. What we conducted today was to discover fresh talent and to nurture future quizzers. I am very impressed with the fact that someone won the quiz with 155 points, which is a big score.”
