General Quiz
To most Indians, quizzing is about knowledge. You are asked a question: you either know it or you don't. If you don't, the quiz is terribly boring. There might be drama about who is winning or losing, but beyond that narrative, your brain isn't being made to work. You might as well watch a soap opera.
But attend a quiz at Antaragni or one of the weekly meetings of the quiz club at IIT Kanpur and you'll find a different dynamic at play. You will find that the quizzing they do is not so much about knowledge but about problem solving. Even if you don't know a question, you can still work it out by clues given in the question. Sure, you still need to know things: but if you're intelligent and have a basic interest in the world, you have a crack at solving any question.
