Previous years’ YW Q

(and small tips)2011 &’12

By Denita Mendez

As this is the first year with senior and junior levels of YW, I don’t think any patterns which the QM followed in previous years might be kept. This is just a humble attempt to help students preparing for YoungWorld Quiz.

Ready? Go blast the quiz!!!

Disclaimer

1.The QM always starts the prelims with an ode to the date or the venue. So, note that.

Eg: In ‘11 the first q was about WWI. ‘What ended on 11-11 at 11 pm???’( the quiz was on 11-11-2011)

2.Pay attention to chart-topping Music, artists and not to leave out, cartoons, especially those in Cartoon network. Do a thorough research on Tom and Jerry.Q(‘12): What has an active mode, Time-

out mode, capture mode and self-destruct mode???

=> OMNITRIX (ben 10)

Id them and which subjects do they teach?

Do a good research about eminent personalities recently dead. (not VR Krishna Iyer) but like U Srinivas.

P.S: listen to audio clippings of music instruments and celebrities speaking about other celebs.

Don’t forget to focus on mythology. Especially The Mahabharata.We got a question (that decided our fate

as well)What was Vyasa’s condition on Ganesha being his scribe AND what did Ganesha put as another condition???

In the finals, He puts a very famous personality behind the matrix.

If you qualify, make sure you leave no q unanswered or else, it will become tougher to guess this celeb.

For this year(jr.) he might put NaMo or Amit Shah or Snowden or even Zuckerberg.(exactly, IDK.)

The question which broke my heart:

ID the painter and the person commemorated.

( MF Hussain did this in memory of Lokmanya Tilak. I got this wrong and got -15. Don’t repeat my mistake, people. Don’t jump into conclusions at the first sight, but be quick, or else….

The QM might also ask nursery rhyme questions like what happened to little Miss Muffet or to spell a word. He once asked to spell Mozambique.

Also, pay attention to Indian politics. In ‘12, he asked ,’which party had the symbol of the biggest terrestrial animal?’

=>BSP

Keep your eyes open for what’s the question. They are often, very tricky.

The question for us (or rather, answer) was:

‘Ashi Jestun Pema’.The question to it was, ‘Who is the

current queen of Bhutan?’

GOOD NEWS, BOYS!!!

Research on car logos. The QM put up this logo and asked us to ID. Thanks to Anant, we got this. (the answer is Bentley)

Above all this, pray to lord Almighty to give you what you deserve and what he desires. Let his will be done.

I expect each one of you to return from AJ hall with the much-coveted Yw trophy and other goodies, just like this one sitting in my mantelpiece.

Best of luck, people! Go Blast the quiz!!

So that’s it!!!
