Hello friends,
Back again after a month to another blog post. This post is about the event conducted by our class students(CSE H Batch) at Abacus, National Level Technical symposium organised by Dept. of Computer Science, CEG.
Event’s Name selected was “:P”, for no reason. But the contest was not meant to be that. The questions were about Microsoft, Windows, Linux, Google, Internet etc. There were around 100 teams participating and we had some tough time evaluating the answers.
This is the link to PowerPoint presentation we had displayed. And if you need answers, do comment here or mail me, I'll send to you, since displaying them here will not be that good. http://www.4shared.com/dir/gakBnshJ/sharing.html
The first round went on for about 40 mins and response was very good. While evaluating we found some answers to be very humorous (and funny) that, many of us were completely
roflol -ing(:P).
For example, question 3’s one of the answers was, Lindsay Lohan is torvald’s wife.(Man!! how can it be .. ??). The Ultimate one was for question 10 where one team wrote “Alt+F9”.. (Get out of the Turbo C world dudes..). We selected 6 finalists and there were answers which suggested that Google was used to find them, but no one cant stop the curiosity.
Second round was hands on(participants were given a lap top), where challenges were given and participants were asked to finish them and get the points assigned. The link above has the questions. This round went on for about 1.5 hours. Some of the questions were damn easy and others were very tough that one cant crack without googling, but we didn't give access to internet. Winners were selected based on the number of questions answered and the weightage to them.
Overall, the event was one of its kind at this year’s Abacus and I would like to thank all my classmates who helped to conduct this event and Abacus team for making this event a grand success.
P.S: Questions were chosen by Arun.B(arun04ceg@gmail.com), myself(naveen.cse.csg@gmail.com) and Sanath Kumar(dayanandasaraswati@gmail.com).
