“Any fool can know. The point is to understand.”
— Albert Einstein
Quiz competitions are hallowed events in India, breaking away from the rote learning in our education system. The best quizzes teach you to think out of the box, and don’t need a hefty list of facts to win. Some say that you may go in smart, but you come out wise.
In June and July, many of these quiz contests will be held across India. These include open quizzes, inter-school quizzes and inter-college quiz competitions. Take a look, and sign up early:
