It was a night of fun and excitement as GEO 16 campers participated in their first team competition, “The Speed Quiz Contest”. The contest was held yesterday, February 7, in International Hub 267. There are seven competing teams namely: Seychelles, New Zealand, India, Singapore, Puerto Rico, Panama and Guyana. All the teaching assistants (TAs) and professors gathered to cheer each team. Each was given a few minutes to prepare for their cheer. The team cheers added more thrill to the competition.
Professor Jerry made the opening remarks. He reminded the teams that the most important thing of all is to have fun.
For the game proper, the main goal of the game is to guess the word that is shown in the screen. The student will face the other members, with the screen at their back.
The rules of the competition were as follows:
1. There will be eight players per round.
2. The game is divided into two rounds.
3. There will be a maximum of three minutes per game.
4. Gestures and Korean words are not allowed.
5. The person guessing the word is the only one who can say “Pass.”
6. Two consecutive pass means one point deduction to their team.
7. During the second round, previous player cannot participate. All the members should be able to play the game.
During the first round, Team New Zealand was on the lead, followed by Team Seychelles then by Team Singapore. For the Second round, Team Panama was on the lead followed by Team India.
