“The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.” 
-Arthur Conan Doyle

Do you feel a ‘Sherlock Holmes’ awakening inside you when you watch crime-mystery movies or riveting suspense-thrillers? Do you get perked up at the prospect of putting together ‘clues’ in order to decipher the elusive subtleties of a conundrum?

Have you ever tried to know about some specific topic from Wikipedia on the night before your exam, searched for it, gone on to explore other links in the page, only to find yourself looking at some completely different stuff after 5 minutes??? Are you somebody who opens Wikipedia to search for some random Greek Mythology character and ends up in a page describing a Role-Playing Action game after some time??? Then we present you with a golden opportunity to put these “skills” of yours to the test in this Wikilinks contest!!!
1. There will be a total of 10 rounds in this contest.
2. In each round, 2 pages from Wikipedia will be specified.
3. The participants need to link the 2 pages in the following manner:-
Let the given pages be A and B. Then they need to go from A to some page X1 by clicking some link given on page A. From X1 they need to go to some other page X2 in a similar manner and so on till they reach page B.

For example the pages of:-
Che Guevara (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Che_Guevara) and Albert Einstein (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein) have a link as follows:-

Che Guevara ->
Time Magazine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_(magazine)) ->

CMI Open
If you've been solving the Rubik's cube for a while, and would like to test yourself, this is the place to be. Fiesta brings to you the opportunity of showcasing your cubing skills in the upcoming contest:

The CMI Open is a NATIONAL-LEVEL competition recognized by the World Cubing Association (WCA) that is anticipating well over a hundred participants.

For the information of the uninitiated, “speedcubing” involves solving the Rubik's Cube and related puzzles as fast as one can. In 1982, the first World competition was held in Budapest. Since the inception of this sport, interest has grown exponentially in the Indian subcontinent, with the result that the once mystifying Rubik's cube has now become a household name. India now boasts of having the 3rd highest number of speedcubers in the world, after only China and USA. This is the second time that such an event is going to be held in CMI, and national records are expected to be registered in various events.

The number of preregistered participants seems to indicate that this is going to be the largest cubing competition of its kind in India. Expect a rejuvenating experience as you get to see the participants solve the Rubik's cube one-handed, and even blindfolded, with old records being broken and new records being made!

Science Talk
Art Workshop
Wikipedia Workshop
Experts in mathematical sciences will deliver lectures on a variety of topics to expose the audience to current areas of research. However, the best part of it is, this will be done in a non-technical way so as to make the talks accessible to everyone irrespective of their field of study.

Prof. B.V. Rao, distinguished scientist who currently teaches at CMI, will deliver a one-hour lecture on "Probabilistic Diffusion Model". He got his Ph.D from ISI Kolkata and was also, formerly, a professor of that institute for 20 years. Measure Theory, Probability and Stochastic processes are some of his major areas of interest.

Prof S.P. Suresh will deliver a lecture on "What is the title of this talk? A Puzzle Guide to Logic". He is currently a part of the Theoretical Computer Science(TCS) faculty in Chennai Mathematical Institute. Prof. Suresh completed his MCA from NIT Trichy, after which he worked in the IT industry for a year. He then pursued an MSc in TCS from Anna University followed by a Phd in the same from the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai. Prof. Suresh is also interested in sanskrit and carnatic music.

Taboo
A block and tackle is a system of two or more pulleys with a rope threaded between them, usually used to lift or pull heavy loads. You will be given a motion to speak for or against. A rope will be in your hand. When the judges say "BLOCK", loosen your rope and go against the motion, whereas support the topic on being asked to "TACKLE". Remember that the thread must not break anywhere. In this way, grab as many points as possible for your pseudo-substantial loquaciousness. In addition, brag about your score if you can successfully transit, from blocking to tackling or the other way round, in a way as if that's the point you had been trying to make all along!!
1. This is an individual event.
2. Participants will be given a pseudo-controversial topic.
3. Participants may choose between two given topics.
4. Participants will be given 3-5 minutes to think and 3-5 minutes to speak.

6. Decision of Judges will be final.
Please look at the "Judgement Criteria" for more details.

  Hint: Topics will, in general, not require any serious general knowledge. The topics are meant to be light and the participants are expected to be humorous.

3. Language
4. Personality (confidence, voice and persuasive power etc)
