FAQ
We have very different rules compared to other quiz groups so please do go through the FAQ carefully.
Q1: I don’t live in Bangalore. Can I become a member?
A: By all means! We’d love to have you as a member. We have members from all over the world!
Q2: Where can I get the answers to the quizzes?
A: We send the answers directly to your mailbox as soon as you respond to any particular quiz.
As a matter of policy, we do not give out answers publicly.
This is in keeping with our philosophy that one cannot get something for
nothing but must work towards a desired objective.
Q3: Do you have any special
requirements to be followed when answering quizzes?
Yes, we do! Because we are a
high volume group, we need the subject line of your response to be exactly as
below.

For example:
Q4: Is there a response limit?
Yes - 4 quizzes/day.
We study response patterns and
if we feel that a person has an abnormal response pattern or is trying to leech
our database, the membership could be cancelled without prior notice.
Q5: Can I submit a blank response and get answers?
No! Many people have tried to get the answers to a particular quiz by submitting
blank answers. We discourage blank answers. We also discourage
nonsensical answers and submitting such responses will almost
invariably ensure that your membership gets cancelled.
Given the very high quality of our quizzes, it is just not worth taking any
risks. People value highly membership to our quiz group.
Q6: My friend wants to become a member. What must she do?
A: She must submit an ID proof to
the email ID prksh1@gmail.com. If she is working, we require an email from her
official mail ID. If she is a student, we would need a scanned copy of her
college ID + her mobile phone number. If she is a housewife, we would need her
mobile phone number.
Q7: May I suggest members who may be interested?
A: No. We would to need to follow
the above ID proof procedure. They should follow the procedure mentioned in
point # 6 above.
Q8: What is the scoring system you follow?
A: Except in tournaments such as THE
SEVENTH SENSE and THE SUPER SIXER SERIES, we do not follow a scoring system.
This is a deliberate policy.
Q9: Can I set a quiz?
A: Yes, of course. Here are some rules that need to be strictly followed. These are:
-
The quiz should be unique to this group and
should not be posted by you elsewhere.
-
When you send us the quiz questions, you must
send us the answers as well. We will handle all the replies and send
out the answers.
-
All answers must have been validated by you. (Validation means using an impeccable source of information like MSN Encarta, Wikipedia, etc.)
-
Quizzes may be sent to
Prakash Subbarao for being published at the website.
-
All quizzes that you set become the property
of The Bangalore Quiz Group and may be used at its discretion with credit /
without crediting you as the source. (However, we invariably credit the
source).
