In the second round, Edelweiss who was yet to score opened their account and followed it with a brilliant strike to quickly get to 250. All the teams played in a huddle like a ‘marathon’ as observed by the seasoned quizmaster.
It was towards the final questions that Edelweiss was able to break away and win the quiz while all the other teams battled for the second spot.
