Plant a seed of knowledge … and it blooms as a flower of Wisdom
The Management Club has been an inspiring source for sharing and enhancing the knowledge of Quizzing enthusiasts in Sri Lanka through their efforts in organising the TMC Wisdom Quiz for six consecutive years since September 2006.
Following the success of TMC’s Wisdom Quiz event that has now become one of the most sought after table quiz competitions in Sri Lanka, the seventh in the series -TMC-Wisdom Quiz 2012 – will be worked out today, at the Grand Ballroom of the Galle Face Hotel, Colombo 03 from 3.00pm onwards.
Partnering TMC on this knowledge development initiative would be CMI Sri Lanka branch, ICT Agency Sri Lanka, Link Natural Products, Imperial Institute of Higher Education, ICBT Campus and Amana Takaful Insurance.
With more than 40 teams already registered, it sure will be a keenly contested event as quite a few new teams have also entered the fray to battle it out for the prestigious TMC Wisdom Trophy together with cash awards for the first five teams.
Among the new entrants to the TMC Quiz this year are Ladies College, DFCC Bank, 99X Technology, Hirdaramanis Intellectuals, Tri Ads, eMarketing Eye, CIC, Astron and teams formed by Hasitha Fernando and Ranjana Senanayake.
The competition will be conducted as a team event as in the past with 5 members per team and will be open to 4 sectors – Schools & Educational Institutions, Public & Mercantile Firms, Banks and Financial Institutions and teams formed by individuals.
This year, there will be 06 rounds, with 10 questions to a round covering current affairs, sports & games, science, history/art/literature/entertainment & general knowledge and the 6th round on the Olympic Games.
The questions set for the TMC Wisdom Quiz by Ruwan Senanayake, who is also a founder member of TMC, have always been of a very high standard. Having pioneered the concept of adding visuals and video clips as clues for some questions , the TMC Quiz has presented the participants as well as those witnessing the event, some very interesting moments, through out the years.
Ruwan Senanayake is the Sri Lanka representative of the International Quizzing Association and it is in conjunction with IQA Sri Lanka that the TMC Wisdom Quiz has been conducted from the inception.
This quiz has always been conducted in a very competitive atmosphere and tie breaker rounds have been required to decide the top slots, almost on all the occasions. .
This time is not going to be any different from the past six years as far as the the enthusiasm of the participants is concerned, one unique feature that the TMC Quiz has been known for and with a mix of individuals from young and the not-so-young, working and non-working people alike battling it out for supremacy, it sure is bound to be another interesting and rewarding experience for all participants.
