There were around 40 participants... from students to postdocs to professors... and I was ranked at 7th in the score-prediction challenge! Not bad for someone who doesn't know much about football, huh? :p
As for the second challenge, well, guess what?!
I have this sitting proudly in my office:
Yes.......
...because.....
....I was at the.....
*drumroll please*
....ahem...
BOTTOM place!!!
The winner managed to score 140 points in this challenge while I only managed a mere 18 points.... how I wished I had the psychic octopus :p
Had supported Argentina all the way..... too bad they lost to Germany....
Anyway, I was awarded with that cute trophy for my 'victory'.... some of my labmates are quite envious of my trophy! :p
Guess who 'won' the bottom place in the score-prediction challenge?!
It was 'won' by another Malaysian student!
Yes, we are definitely dominating there. Well, now we know why we have never qualified for the world cup :p
