The T Quiz League Season 1 continues to captivate audiences with its high-stakes competition, and the second match was no exception. This episode featured an intense face-off between Sri Lankan School Muscat (SLSM) and ISWK Cambridge, showcasing the depth of knowledge and strategic thinking from both teams.
Sri Lankan School Muscat was represented by the sharp minds of Zayan, Janurius, and Chevan, coached by Mr. Hiran. Their opponents, ISWK Cambridge, brought an equally formidable lineup with Arya, Manal, and Naithik, under the expert guidance of Ms. Poonam Kumari and Ms. Hiral Amit.
A Battle of Wits: The Questions
The match challenged the participants with questions spanning a wide range of topics. One notable question delved into local traditions: "In Oman and Arab culture, what do you call the room in a house that is usually used to welcome guests?" The answer, "majlis," highlighted the importance of understanding regional customs.
Another memorable moment came when the quizmaster asked, "Originally a firefighter at Seeb International Airport, name the legendary Omani goalkeeper who played for Premier League teams like Bolton Wanderers and Wigan Athletic." The correct answer, Ali Al-Habsi, added a layer of local pride to the competition.
A Match to Remember
