Best Of Tata Crucible
Tata Crucible does not need any introduction to the quizzing community in India. As far as the quality
of the quiz and the hoopla surrounding the event is concerned, people have different opinions. As a matter of fact even both of us have contrasting views regarding Tata Crucible, its content and various issues. However, the one fact that both of us do agree upon is, that it is a quiz followed closely by many quizzers. We went around looking for a set of questions which have been asked in Crucible but the best we could find was on Nairs site. Although the collection is quite comprehensive, a large number of questions are now outdated. Giri has the tendency to ask quite a few questions on current affairs, which we appreciate, but current affairs of 2007 are not relevant in 2010 or 2020. Also, some quiz bloggers had posted questions of their cities from memory hence some were without answers, erroneous or ill framed. So, we decided to take care of these problems and set out with a task to make a database of questions from Tata Crucible which are relevant today and will be relevant even in 2020, if Tata Crucible lasts that long. We sure hope it does. In this document you would find a set of 421 questions** which have been asked in Tata Crucible Corporate Editions over the years 2006 to 2009. For the list of cities covered have a look at the table given below: City\Years 2009 2008 2007 2006 Ahemdabad Bangalore Bhubneshwar Chandigarh Chennai Cochin Coimbatore Delhi Goa Hyderabad Indore Jaipur Jamshedpur Kochi Kolkata Lucknow Mumbai Pune Ranchi FINALS We hope that you find this compilation helpful. Also, feel free to contact us for whatever you think you should contact us for. Our contact details are given at the end of the ebook.
