From June 1st onwards, the blog will feature general questions from the regular posters (Thejaswi Udupa and self) during the second and fourth weeks of every month. Postings in the odd weeks will be rotated among a committee of guest quizmasters who will set questions in their areas of expertise.

Please welcome on board Satyajit Chetri (Comics/Comic Art), Ashwan Lewis (Science), Siddhartha Shanker (History of Ideas/Philosophy), Nitish Khadiya (who will soon make up his mind about which area) and Joshua Muyiwa (Fashion/Performance).

We hope thus to offer members richer content and more varied online quizzing fare. As usual, your comments are welcome.
