Transit - the Voyage
4th March 2006

The 3rd March, 2006, was the day of reckoning for 19 able coordinators of IEEE-VESIT as they presented their very own event for the current academic year, TRANSIT- The Voyage.

Amid immense fervor and enthusiasm Second Year students participated in pairs and rushed through the eliminations. Amongst them, 12 teams were selected to enter the Task Round. Herein each team was given an exclusive predefined route zigzagging from one table to another. Each table had an Event Manager. Each Manager was given a specific question which when answered correctly by the duo were provided with a task varying from simple physics Prism practical to Flash Games, from Building Blocks to Detangling Nails.

20 seconds was given to answer the entry question the answer to which was name of a country. Racing with time the teams completed the task allotted and moved forward to the next designated table.The pursuit for the least time was heralded with a lot of penalties and an equal number of bonus questions which were shot every 3 min on a projector answering which deducted 90 seconds from the already existing score. Eventually the Task Round would be triumphant by the team with the lowest time.12 teams were narrowed down to 4 teams for the Semi-finals which then had to answer myriad logical questions and solve a Tic Tac. Two teams, one 'X' and one '0', would have to select numbers from 1 to 9 with respect to a 3*3 grid. Each number has a nerve wracking question, which when answered correctly becomes theirs. Alternatingly the teams keep selecting squares and answer the off the wall questions. The idea is primarily to form a straight line joining any three consecutive squares.

The Finals were played between the survivors of the semifinals on very much same lines. The team that completes the triad first is the survivor of the Transit.
