New Kid on the Blog!

I am happy to inform, that another one of my close friends has agreed to be a quizzer boy. He is Harshit Khare (khare.jedi@gmail.com), and since both of our entrance exams are COMPLETELY over, we are down to quizzing now!
There has been a slight change in plans now. Since the no. of questions are lesser per quiz, we have decided to scrap the system of "mail your answers to quizzerboys@yahoo.com" . Instead, you can add your answers as comments, which will be hidden till we reveal the answers to the quiz. Following the BITS quiz blog pattern, the quiz is open, till its answers are revealed. So the previous quiz is still open, you can attempt it!
