Testimonials

Thanks for organizing the quiz. We are pleased to have been participants, and we have no doubt you will put on an even better show next year. We especially liked the questions, which we felt were just challenging enough! There are some quizzes which have questions taken out of old-Soviet Union era physics textbooks which are impossible to answer.
