Frankly, it was really disappointing to have not qualified for the Finals. But then we messed up as we wrote Mac OS X instead of Mac OS. We also missed 6x9=42!! Well, but still we would not have been a threat to you in the finals as I did not know many answers. Infact the level in the Finals was quite high - Prashanth, ur team and St Xavier's were brilliant. Though I would definitely have done better than Amity and DPS Dwarka! The Crossword was nice, and it was good to finish 2nd. We could definitely have got more than 15 here....But in a crossword, this is always bound to happen!!! I think there should have been more time for this event, but then I know it was a one-day event and would have been a tough task to allow more time. @ Aditya – Great Post.
