I’m sure that we are all familiar with popular quizzes like the Limca quiz or the Cadbury Bournvita Quiz Contest (BQC). These are but just a few examples of quiz competitions that are held. Over the years’ people have been fascinated by these quizzes which have been broadcasted on television sets. And are still watched and enjoyed by children and adults alike even today!
