The Star- Mighty Minds Challenge.
Sunday, April 26 @ 8:23 PM
Two groups for F123 and Two for F45. I was in the second group of my school with 2 other boys, Pravind and Nafis. Mag was in the group A with vinod and Faiz. We reached Seremban parade at about 9 something. We were really nervous and scared coz most of the students who were taking part all looked so smart compared to us. :S. But no worries, we gathered inside the mall and sat down on the floor.
The first part of the RHB-The Star Mighty Minds challenge required the teams to answer 20 quiz questions based on science and maths principles and general knowledge using interactive keypads. And it wasn't anything cool. Just a keypad with ABCDE (12345) . My team scored 170/200 as there were 20 questions. And mag's team 140/200. Both our teams made it into the final 30 teams. And my team was number 12 :D.
The questions were quite easy and only had 3 general knowledge questions. One of them were How much points did Anoop from American Idol get ... blablabla.. " I forgot the questioned already. After that we went back to the hotel and at 1.45 we went back for the 2nd challenge. the hands-on challenge required us to make a cylindrical advertisement model which can be rotated manually. We were blank headed when we received the question. Our heads were blank and we didn't know what to do. But thankfully we finished our project .
My team was really lucky coz we were selected in the Top-6. And we were called to explain how our model works. Thank god pravind was the good crapper and he answered all the questions. We waited till it was 6 and went back to listen to the results. When they announced the 2nd runner up (which wasn't us) we were like... we sure wont get anything already. And ... When it was the first runner up. The guy was like... :" SMK TUNKU BESAR, TAMPIN!! " and... yeah. We won RM2000! Cold Hard Cash. Rm666.60 for each of us . We were so damn excited and happy.
Too bad we didn't get back our model. Photos MAY be uploaded if i can get the images from pravind :)
