Maitree Express: মৈত্রী এক্সপ্রেস - দুই বাংলার সংস্কৃতি ও ভাতৃত্বের মেলবন্ধন - Joydeep Roy

Members mark your calendars. The first online IRI Quiz Contest will be held on Sunday, Feb 3 @ 8pm IST. Some points:
1. You would need a modern mobile or desktop browser. No Opera Mini. You would need to ensure that you have good internet connectivity.
.
2. NO easy questions. 20 medium to hard multiple choice questions concerning various aspects of IR. But...
more...

we'll try to make the questions/answers somewhat interesting and satisfactory.
.
3. 15 seconds for each answer. There will be a countdown timer that will go to the next question automatically. You may change your answer within the 15 seconds, but after that, you won't be able to go back, etc.
.
4. The quiz and the questions will be delivered simultaneously, and there won't be any time for Googling, etc., given the 15 second timer. The quiz will start @ 8pm sharp as per the IRI time shown at the top, and will be over @ 8:05pm. It is a short and quick quiz; everything will be over in 5 minutes.
.
5. Negative points for wrong answers. Random clicking won't prove worthwhile.
.
6. Open to all logged-in IRI members.
.
7. One (or more if there is a tie) winners getting maximum points.
.
8. Prize: Your profile will prominently display that
a. You won Quiz Contest #1 held on Feb 3, 2013.
b. No. of participants in the contest.
.
Needless to say, depending on feedback and response to the first quiz, more contests may/may not be held on a periodic basis.
