VIKTORINA – The MTS Quiz

(Викторина)

Prepared by: Sunil Singh Rana

What is Viktorina?

Here we go!

“I always turn to the sports section first. The sports section records people's accomplishments; the

front page nothing but man's failures.” – This was a famous quote by Earl Warren in Sports Illustrated

and “Quizzing” is one of the finest mental sports ever.

MTS Gujarat will have a “Viktorina” Series for our enthusiasts!!!

The quest/hunger for knowledge with eye for details differentiates a quizzer from others. The

revolution to this was brought almost by one game show – KBC in India. In MTS this revolution was

marked with our participation and performance in both the prestigious corporate quiz competition like

Brand Equity and Tata Crucible this year.

Quizzing forces you to explore and read which develops you individually and professionally. With this

objective in mind we are creating a new section called as Viktorina (викторина) which stands for

“Quiz” in Russian where we will be sending 5 to 10 question per week to all. The right answers will be

send by end of day.

With this at the end of a period, everyone will have a repository of good quiz question as well as

instinct to be a quizzer.
