    @vipul - what's 15?

  • @ Rishav - yeah ur right.
  • Rhead May 2010
    I thought the golden rule of quizzing was "He who comes first in prelims comes third or worse in finals"?
  • @ Rhead - well this totally depends upon your luck..
  • ankurb May 2010
    @Rhead: [citation needed] [original research?]
  • Rhead May 2010
    @ankurb I remember talking to both agrim and prateek at exun some year. Their law.
  • Well it was true during my 1st year,but then later on its totally situation specific,but with me its true
    cos I develop cold feet on the stage :P
  • prateekv May 2010
    @Rhead - Yes its called the "Silveredge Law" as far as I know. Its actually. The team topping the prelims, almost always, does not do well in the finals. There are exceptions to this law also.
  • ShreyansShreyans May 2010
    Lord Silveredge's Law is like: "Those who fail to qualify know every answer on stage."
