Scholars and their Folly

I was in a foul mood when i stumbled upon the website of this competition about a couple of months back... I cant really recollect the reason why but i was pretty pissed off. Then came this barage of questions some of which seemed shamefully simple and some were abyssimally dificult. Clicking at will I completed it the first time in about 34 minutes or so ...and then i saw that i was allowed to give thrice in the next 24 hours ... I decided to try my luck and ventured into the sme co-ordinates of cyber-space ..... what came next left me speechless ..exactly the same questions with their order changed....!!!!

So this time I used the mouse as a rail gun firing off answers at break neck speed..and whoosh i completed it in less than four minutes..and that after taking half a minute for the communication latency between my pc and the server !

The next round was a bit of surprise ..although i knew this was a reality show i didnt think that they would film this round too. But that was proved wrong no sooner than i entered the registration area ... Huge placards or display boards proclaimed the sponsors as well as the Cardiff university was showcasing their finest mugshots ....lol. Of course i wasnt prepared for my first television appearance.... I was this scrawny chum with stubble growing like moss ver my face ... i wont be surprised if the eyes roll off my presence in the show.

For anything else that you might want to know ... catch the show on NDTV but i dont know when ...keep checking the comments if any ...for the dates ...!!
