MIME vidhimuRaigaL :

From the MIME page -
______________________________________________________________________
MIME stands for "Muththu Inge Maalai Enge". (People who went through
enough 'trouble' solving the quiz refer to it as "Mandayil Iruntha
Mudiyellaam Enge".)

All you have to do is: find the first line of the song(at least 3;4 words)
corresponding to each clue. One point for every song correctly identified.
The one scoring the maximum points will get the chance to conduct the next
quiz. (Ties will be resolved through a separate Tie;Breaker quiz.)

There is absolutely NO restriction for participating in the quiz. Anyone
can join the fray(either alone or as a team) and have fun cracking the
quiz. Good luck!

Our observations -
______________________________________________________________________

MIME competition is a TF songs quiz in which some middle line of a
song and a clue about the song is given and the participants have to
find out the song and the film in which it occurs. Indicating the
first few words of the song (4 words) is generally fine. The name of
the film also has to be given correctly. One point is awarded for the
correct song and one point for the name of the film independent of
whether the song is correct or not. Normally in a MIME quiz there are
some 30 to 40 questions. It can be more than this or less according
to the convenience of the conductor(s). The people who conduct also
decide asto which is the last date and inform the participants of this.
The participants are also informed of the e-mail address to which their
answers have to be posted. The person/group who wins the quiz will
conduct the next quiz for the next month.

The most interesting part of all the MIME quizzes so far has been the
theme. Each quiz has a theme. Themes can range from songs of one
particular singer or music director to some word which comes in the
starting line of the song like synonyms of the moon, or references
to flowers or colours. So far we have had lovely quizzes on topics
like "TMS paadalgaL", "P.Susheela paadalgaL", "n-ilavu", "vaNNanggaL",
"irattai kiLavi" etc. The theme of this quiz, as you know is vaaganam
maRRum payaNam sampan-dhappatta paadalgaL.

There are 30 clues in this quiz classified into three groups.

Please indicate the question number correctly before every answer and
also please indicate the name of the film distinctly (with a separating
hyphen or blank;line). Your answers maybe sent in English font or
Murasu font to the addresses :

bull@blr.sni.de

Please send in your answers before 08:00 hrs (Indian Standard Time)
on Monday the 3rd of August 1998.

In case of a tie in scores for the first spot, we will conduct a
tie-breaker quiz for the people concerned.

All the best and enjoy the quiz!!
