And now for the results. 19 people turned in all-correct entries; after this tally, we added one more first prize in response. So the two winners (randomly chosen from the 19) are Swathi Rishi and Abhimanyu Sanghi, who win Rs. 200/- vouchers each. Congratulations to them (their Flipkart voucher prizes will be sent via email in a day).
The other prize was a random pick among everyone who got at least 3 answers right. This prize goes to Kunal Naik. He wins a Rs. 100/- voucher.
Thanks to everybody who participated - hopefully, we'll be running more such contests in the days to come.
