Winner of December 150 Quiz: Nimra Nazar
Congratulations to Ms Nimra Nazar (Purchase Office) for scoring the highest number of points in the December 150 Quiz. Nimra is also an alumna (BS (Hons) Business 2012) which might explain her extensive knowledge of FCC trivia. Honorable mentions go to Mr Adeel Riaz (Advancement Office) and Mr Najam ul Sahar (Registar’s Office). We regret the delay in announcing the result, which was due to ALL the multiple choice options in Question 1o being wrong! After many recounts of the seating in E-025 (and our sympathies go out to returning officers in elections — we had no idea what a difficult task theirs was) we found out that the correct number of seats was 190. Only the first nine questions were therefore considered. Ms Nimra Nazar should contact the Communications Office to collect her prize of Rs 1,500 worth of book vouchers for Readings, donated by Assistant Professor Zeeshan Bhutta.

There will be 15 quizzes in all (yes, we will go into 2015) so with 10 questions each, that’s a question for each year of FCC’s existence. Each quiz will be multiple choice with only one correct answer. Easy, right?
