2010 Youth Group Jeopardy

Jeopardy and Kids Quiz Contest
Event report by Akshay Prabhushankar
Event date: June 26, 2010

The CKS Youth Group Committee arranged a Jeopardy and Kids Quiz Contest on Saturday, June 26 for kids aged 6-18. In front of a live audience, 10 kids older than 10 participated in a Jeopardy contest, and the excitement in the room was unbelievable!

As parents cheered us on, we answered 30 questions in six categories: Science, General, Math, Geography, Sports, and Entertainment. Each category had 5 questions, each one worth 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50 points, depending on difficulty. The questions tested many subjects, including inventors, number problems, and tennis/music stars. The team consisting of Namana Rao and Anchita Honnur won first place gaining a good start by earning 100 points from a Daily Double 50-point question. Goutam Kumar and Himadri Narasimhamurthy won second and Saurabh Harohalli and Manoj Kumar won third.
