Presec wins 2008 National Science and Maths quiz competition (4th trophy)

In Lumine Tuo, Videbimus Lumen!
After winning the National Science and Maths Competition (popularly known as Brilla) for keeps two years ago, the 'blue magicians' added a 4th Brilla trophy earlier this year. We emerged victorious over Opoku Ware School in the final.

This achievement comes in the midst of the 70th anniversary celebrations of the great Presby Boys' Secondary School, Legon (PRESEC).

Thanks to some updated info by two old boys and members of the victorious squad in 2006, here is how the final went down.

We lost our very first question and they got theirs' plus the bonus. but at the end of round one- 10-19 in favour of Presec.
at the end of round two it was still a positive difference of nine for us.
in round 3, we had six and they had ten, so the lead was cut down to 4.
in round 4, ended with a difference of 8 in our favour.
in round 5, we missed some true or false so right before the riddles the lead was down to 5 points.

IN THE RIDDLES:
we missed the first riddle and the lead was down to 2.
we missed the second one too and they waited till the end and also had it wrong!!
and we got three points in the third riddle so it was up to difference 5 again.
so it was down to the fourth and last riddle and unless they could produce a 5-pointer the cup was ours.
but fortunately they did not.
so it ended 63-68! and the cup is back in its rightful place!

Wey Gey Hey (Wesley Girls' High School) beat Keta Secondary School (Keta High School) by a difference of 1, to take the 3rd Place.
