philosophy quiz bee
Last Tuesday, September 3, 2013, I attended the Philosophy Quiz Bee that is exclusively for 1st and 2nd year students who are taking Philosophy subject. It is entitled: Ironical Thinking Quiz Bee. The whole thought of the event is to make the students think ironically about the given question and/or category. It was held at the Lecture rooms 3 and 4, the first batch started at 9am and ended up at 10:30am while the second batch ended up at 12 noon.

In my opinion, the participators answers were different from each other but all their answers make sense as well. The second comic strip was from Calvin and Hobbes and it goes like this; “Well summer is almost over. It sure went quick didn’t it?” “Yep” “There’s never enough time to do all the nothing that you want.” And again, their answers were given to the judge and read my Ms. Myra. The second component of the quiz bee was the Anecdote, they were given 3 minutes to think and answer in this part. They were given 2 examples of anecdotes and they should answer one sentence this way; “________ and yet _______.” After that, the third component was the Situation part. They were
