The Quiz Club at BITS Pilani, Goa campus was started to get together like minded individuals with a passion for trivia and quizzing in general. We plan on putting up several questions and details about quizzes taking place. As our tagline puts it, when you aren't able to crack an answer,then do what any self respecting quizzer would do and say 'Aiyo! I almost knew this one!'

From Sophia with Deadly Love....
Identify this deadly device. It has been used twice and worked only once, but it is a very clever creation
This is the Bulgarian Umbrella. This was used twice, once effectively to kill Georgi Markov on the London Waterloo Bridge. The method involves an umbrella specially designed to shoot out a poisoned bullet(Ricin used here) to kill a person. It was discontinued since the assassin would have to get too close to the victim and ricin was also unstable at certain temperatures(either doesn't work or might affect the handler)
Cracked by Kamal Rathi, Lakshmy, Raghav and Lord Labak Das(O.o)
