WQC in Bangladesh

For the third year running quizzers gathered at the 'Future Group' premises in Dhaka to take part in the World Quizzing Championships. The venue was supervised by Mr Aneek R Haque (he's the smiling guy in the red shirt and glasses appearing in half of the images appended below).

As the Bangladeshi iQa group posting on Facebook reported...

"... We had an absolutely wonderful day and we are all so proud of you! ... We thank Aneek Bhai for being at his best form that evening. I personally thank Zafir and all the teammates for all the dedication and effort. ... Despite the political instability 84 Quizzers Participated. For the first time, two Quizzers scored three figures!

Ahmed Fayezi-Bin-Saad, the top scorer of 2009 came back strongly with 117 points! He secured 148th position in the Global Ranking and 15th in the Under 30 Category worldwide! This is the first time any Bangladeshi made it to Top 150. Overall scores have been incredible! We all are so proud of you!

The Nation score of Bangladesh is 312 and we have achieved the 18th position! We have left behind countries like Hungary, Singapore, Russia, Sri Lanka and 10 more countries! Take a bow Quizzers! ..."

Well, our friends in Dhaka obviously enjoyed themselves - as can be seen in some of these images - reproduced with the kind premission of Mir Shahrukh Islam.
