An in-house quiz competition was organised on the evening of Wednesday 13th October for the students. The evening started at 6pm, with pizza and refreshments generously provided by Professor Liu.
The quiz was run by Student Experience Manager, Jacqueline O’Brien and it consisted of 6 rounds which covered topics ranging from Photo, General Knowledge, Around the world, Films, Food & Drink and Music.
There was a total of 5 teams, each with 4 members, and creatively the students came up with their own interesting team names - The Spice Girls, Italians do it BETTER, Team Alpha, Come here for Pizza, Bao Zis.
Whilst devouring our pizza, we had the first round of the competition which was “Name the Photo”. There were 12 famous faces we had to name, and it was funny how we didn’t recognise them in the photos! After the barrel of laughs, we went on to round 2, consisting of ten questions on General Knowledge.
The competition was intense. After the 3rd round of questions, Come here for Pizza were leading in 1st place with 30 points, closely followed by Team Alpha securing 29 points and Italians do BETTER one point behind with 28 points. We continued with the next 3 rounds eagerly before a break and results were declared.
Once the scores were in, Bao Zis, the dark horse of the competition had made a comeback from 4th position to be declared the winners on the night with 55.5 out of 62 points. Prizes were handed out followed by a team photo. Second place went to Come here for Pizza and third place went to Team Alpha. The quiz competition was lots of fun, laughter and overall, a huge success.
