Curtains down on Enquire Quiz League Season 2

Another glorious chapter in the EQL saga came to an end with the grand finale at Bhavans Adarsha on the 20th of February, 2010. Abhijeet Balakrishnan and Sachin S Iyer emerged the best quiz team of Ernakulam after eight legs of electrifying quizzing. Reaching the top is tough but then staying there requires a lot more. Bhavans Adarsha Vidyalaya proved their mettle by becoming the Champion School for the second time running.

M Aswath and Rushabh Menon were in sublime form in the finals, leading the quiz all the way, from word go itself. Hats off to them!! Coming into the finals with a slender lead of ten points, Athul Chacko Philip and Ravikrishnan Rajeev found the going tough but still finished 1st runners up. Thanks mainly to their consistent performance and high average scores; Bhavans Adarsha comfortably finished the best team with a lead of over 500 points. The final leg had some interesting new rounds like Half-and-half and What Happens Next.

Enquire quiz League Season 2 would never have been this big a success but for the support of the participants, the schools and our former members. We are extremely grateful to the Bhavans schools for providing venues for the different legs. Participants are the life and soul of any quiz. We were lucky to have played host to a group of such enthusiastic and talented young minds. Your passion for quizzing has really motivated us and spurred us to set high standards for ourselves. A special mention to Sebastian Pattom for his unwavering support and inspiration. He has been there whenever we needed him, constantly correcting us and helping us with his innovative thinking.

The eagle has taken flight but it still has a lot to learn. We have come a long way from where we started but we still have frontiers left to conquer. Our goal is to polish you into sparkling diamonds, so that you grow Faster, Higher and Stronger to shine as stars in the quizzing realm. What lies ahead is unknown, only one thing is certain- that EQL will get bigger and better. As the sun sets on another page in the EQL history, we look into the future with that pleasant hope. Our country needs young minds that seek and find the reason behind every action and phenomenon. We at Enquire hope to do exactly that - inculcate a questioning mind that works on pure logic and thus inspire answers.....

X is the temporary name of a synthetic element with the temporary symbol Uut and atomic number 113.

It is placed as the heaviest member of the group 13 (IIIA) elements although a sufficiently stable isotope is not known at this time that would allow chemical experiments to confirm its position. It was first detected in 2003 in the decay of element 115 and was synthesized directly in 2004. Only eight atoms of ununtrium have been observed to date. The longest-lived isotope known is 284Uut with a half-life of ~500 ms.

The x (Gulo gulo), also referred to as a glutton and occasionally as a carcajou, skunk bear, quickhatch, or gulon, is the largest land-dwelling species of the Mustelidae (weasel) family in the genus Gulo (Latin: "glutton"). It is a stocky and muscular carnivore, more closely resembling a small bear than other mustelids. The x has a reputation for ferocity and strength out of proportion to its size, with the documented ability to kill prey many times its size.

The x is distributed primarily in remote reaches of the Northern boreal forests and subarctic and alpine tundra of the Northern hemisphere, with the greatest numbers in Alaska, Canada, the Nordic countries of Europe and throughout western Russia and Siberia. Their populations have experienced a steady decline since the 19th century in the face of trapping, range reduction and habitat fragmentation, such that they are essentially absent in the southern end of their European range. It is however estimated that large populations remain in North America and North Asia.

x is the son of a British Lord and Lady who were marooned on the West coast of Africa by mutineers. When x was a year old, his mother died of natural causes, and his father was killed by Kerchak, leader of the ape tribe into which x was adopted.x's tribe of apes is known as the Mangani, Great Apes of a species unknown to science. Kala is his ape mother. x(White-skin) is his ape name; his English name is John Clayton, Lord Greystoke (the formal title is Viscount Greystoke according to y in x, Lord of the Jungle; Earl of Greystoke in later, non-canonical sources, notably the 1984 movie Greystoke). In fact, y, as narrator of x describes both Clayton and Greystoke as fictitious names – implying that, within the fictional world that inhabits, he may have a different real name.

Real name Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Skriabin, he adopted his more famous surname from a Russian word meaning "Hammer". A member of the Bolsheviks, he was one of Stalin's close confidants and also one of the few Older Bolsheviks to survive the Great Purges. He took active part in Stalin's collectivation drive against the Kulaks, and was one of the signatories of the German-Soviet Non Aggression pact during WW2, which bore his name. He was removed by Kruschev in 1957 as part of the De Stalinization process. His surname has also given rise to a notorious weapon, which was used for the first time in the Finnish war, and named in his honor. Name him, and also the weapon
