31th August, 2011: The end of August saw the
initiation of CSA events with Mindturner completing its fourth
successful year.With a decent assemblage of quizzing enthusiasts, the
event was good to go by 5:30 pm.

At the very outset, the audience was briefed on the rules governing the game; which basically were :
- an upper limit of 3 members in a team
- higher weight-age to starred questions and,
- the supremacy of the quiz-master of course.
The
quiz began with relatively simpler questions, soon to delve into
trickier and wit demanding ones later in the evening. Brainstorming to
say, was clearly in the air with frowned minds attempting to unveil the
answers.The smartness of the audience was evident from the very fact
that hints to certain prechosen questions were vehemently discouraged
by certain teams.
Internet
history and less known significant events were the ruling themes of the
event.Certain genre of successful questions of the former Minturners
like 'Photo Connect' were continued while some new patterns viz.
xkcd's and dooodles were experimented with.With questions reaching an
exhaustion point, the unmistakable determination to win was clearly
portrayed on the participants' faces.
The
event concluded with a moderately famous xkcd question which had a
definitely illustrious answer, thus not posing a significant
disadvantage to the ones new to it.This marked an end to the very first
CSA event of the year and yes a promising end, that is.Wishing greater
peaks of success to Mindturner 5 and the other events to follow. 'Stay
hungry, stay foolish' and watch everything fall into place!
