On December 10, participants in the Peering Forum and MSK-IX’s partners put their intellect to the test in a quiz game with seven rounds of questions on various topics: logic, erudition, music, videos and trivia.

Ten teams vied for the title of the smartest: Rostelecom, China Mobile International Russia, NGENIX, Safedata (Data Storage Center), Microimpulse, Gorptus, INKO-Telecom and others.

The battle was tense until the very last round: the difference between the winning teams was just one point. In the end, the Data Storage Center’s team won the quiz, followed by the NGENIX team and Microimpulse. It is noteworthy that the teams that came in first and second places tied.
