DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS AND HUMANITIES

of ₹ 100. The event started at 2pm in classroom 5003, 5th floor of PG Block. The

event ended at 4pm. 32 teams participated in the quiz. The first round was a pen-and-

paper test with 17 questions of varying difficulty of the 30 teams, 7 teams qualified

for the next round. The next round had various kinds of questions and sub-sections.

Vallabh R from IIT-Madras and Abhishek Bhat from BMSCE won ₹ 1500 at first

place. Vybhav Jain and Ketaki from MSRIT won ₹ 1000 at second place. The event

received positive feedback from the participants. Some of the participants from

BMSCE showed interest in joining Pentagram at the end of the event.

c) INFINITE HUNT

Infinite Hunt 2.0 was held on 16th

September 2018 at 10 am at MESH. We had 50+

teams participating in this virtual treasure hunt. Event started with an introduction

video in which there was a secret clue unknown to the audience. The first round was

an elimination round with 10 Questions which would then form one key to the next

round. 25 teams qualified to the next round. The second round was a presentation

round, here they had multiple clues with a time limit. The answers to this led the

participants to the final treasure which was infinity. The participants enjoyed the

entire process as it was a better and bigger hunt than last year.

d) GRIDLOCKED

Gridlocked event was conducted on the 16th of September, 2018. The event was

coordinated by Amrutha M and Sumukh B. The event was for teams of 2, with a

registration fee of ₹ 100/team. The event was held at CR 5002 in 5th

Floor PG Block

from 1pm onwards. A total of eighteen teams participated in the event. First round

(elimination round) consisted of logical reasoning questions wherein they had to relate

the answers to complete the maze and find their way out. Ten teams qualified to the

next round. The second and final round consisted of a Math Crossword, in which clues

were given in the form of tricky mathematical questions. After solving the crossword,

the participants were required to arrive at a final word using the clues to decode each

letter using the Morse code. Gowtham and Nagashree from BMSCE were the winners

and, Gagandheep and Swaroop from BMSCE were the runners-up. The winners were

awarded a prize money of ₹ 1500 and the runners-up were awarded ₹ 1000. The event

received a positive response and the participants enjoyed solving the questions and

were impressed by the concept of solving a maze mathematically. Though the Morse

code was given to them to decode the word, many found it difficult to understand and

link the answers to it.

finding roots of a polynomial.

The guest lecture was followed by the General Quiz and the Auction. The events were

coordinated by 2nd

year club members assisted by 3rd

year students. The events

continued without any delays and everyone who participated enjoyed a lot. The

winning team won a cash prize of Rs 1000 while the runner-up team won a cash prize

of Rs 500. GENERAL QUIZ was a fun event designed to test accuracy, speed and

math. The feedback from the participants was that the event engaging and compelling.

The π day was very successful.
