InfoQuiz 2005- Grand Finale

Congratulations to the winners and the runners up! The Garfield Team of
Satya Prasad Acharya of InfoSys and Krishan Kumar of IISc  walked away with
the beautiful InfoQuiz 2005  trophy and the big bonanza of Rs.50,000
presented by Informatics and other sponsored prizes.

The runners-up were the Dewey Team of Nabonita Guha of DRTC, ISI and
Prasanna T S of Intel Technologies and they  went home with cash prize of Rs
20,000/- (presented by Springer India and Annual Reviews, USA) and other
sponsored prizes too.

The 2nd runner up - Ranganathan Team of Manpreet Grewal from  Infosys and
Amar Harish from  HP Labs  did not have to go back empty handed(though
naturally were  a little disappointed). Each of the contestants received
attractive gifts.

The days of anticipation and waiting were finally over on May 5th as the
curtains came down on the InfoQuiz 2005. The InfoQuiz was the keenly awaited
event of the one day Informatics Silver Jubilee Seminar on “Foots prints in
the sands of Info-Times’ organised at Hotel Taj Residency, Bangalore.  The
event that was the talk of the information profession since its announcement
on April 6th was a cliff hanger- with the Garfield Team and the Dewey Team
racing neck to neck till the very end.

By the time of the final Rapid Fire round, there was palpable tension and
anticipation in the air, with both the contestants and the audience sitting
literarily at the edges of their seats. The InfoQuiz trophy along with the
big bonanza of prize monies and other of sponsored prizes added to the
excitement and the passions of everyone.
