Thanks so much for taking the time an...Hi Vishal !<br /><br />Thanks so much for taking the time and trouble to comment !One of the greatest pleasures of doing the blog is that it puts me into contact with fellow Masterminders such as yourself, as well as quizzers, and those who enjoy quiz shows.<br />I'll be honest, I did think that you might do it at the half way stage. Your tactic of firing away with the answers as quick as possible is one I can completely agree with. <br /><br />I do take your point about lack of knowledge of specifically British topics counting against you - as you say I think that Shrirang found this last year. Having said that he did get to the semi finals which is a terrific achievement, and there's lots of quizzers who'd swap their eye teeth for that. I think you're very modest too. If I recall correctly your correct answers on GK covered a wide range of topics - you've clearly got a general knowledge grounding there, even if the British culture questions etc. did trip you up a little.<br /><br />I'm glad that you want to have another go. I'll keep my eyes open for you ! Good luck, and once again, thanks for dropping by.Londiniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871325359167581176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-75590900153657975272009-09-19T04:31:15.289-07:002009-09-19T04:31:15.289-07:00Hi David

I guess I had the same problem as another friend of mine who was a semi-finalist from last year (Shrirang Raddi - who encouraged me to apply to MM ) - not enough knowledge about British politics/pop culture etc..<br /><br />Am going to try again hopefully after I know the difference between Buckingham Palace and Buckinghamshire :)<br /><br />Thanks once again :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00738536523543153561noreply@blogger.com
