Computer jargons

“Colors fade, temples crumble, empires fall, but wise words endure.”
– Edward Thorndike

Know many technical words and don’t know what to do with them? Here’s the perfect avenue to show-off.
Computer jargon is a 2 member event for geeks who think they can recognise any word from the field of computer science.
In addition to that they should also be able to describe the word to their teammate using one word clues.

Here’s a rather simple example of what you’ll come across. Go ahead and guess…

* Bit
* Byte
* Half

PRELIMS:
  • (45 MIN)
  • Written
  • 2 per team
  • 30 questions (words)
  • We give the set of clues for each word, the contestants have to find them

FINALS: (1 hr)(Onstage)
2 ROUNDS (7 teams)
ROUND1: (1/2 hr)

  • One person gives the clue and the other finds.
  • Time duration for each team : 3 min (5 words out of 7)
  • Total time :3 *7=21 min + 9 min extra


ROUND2: (1/2 hr)

  • Same as Round1 but the complexity of the words will be high.
  • This time the 2nd team member should give the clue.
  • Plus this would be rapid fire i.e they can find as many words as possible.
  • More words they find more points
  • If time exceeds in Round1 we will choose 5 teams for Round2.
  • Only 2 per team.
  • Clues should be given in only one word.
  • Part of the words to be found cannot be used as clues.
  • Concentrate on areas like DBMS, Operating System, Cryptography. (This does not mean that words will be from only these topics)
