DPS ended the round with an impressive sixty( 60) points as Matta Devi also finished off with same points.

Round 2

As Matta Devi decided to let the first question go without attempt, DPS took a chance and missed it to record a negative point in their name.

Adjusting or rearranging sentences in multiple  ways proved to be quite Herculean a task as both schools looked to be in a state of uncertainty.

DPS got one correctly adjusted one sentence and added good scores from the Arithmetic segment too.

This gave them a bigger score of forty (40) at the end of the Round while Matta Devi got fifteen (15) points.

Round 3

It was all DPS in this round, either hitting the target or off it, while Matta Devi made just one attempt and were successful.

Round 4

Rosemond and Akosua for Matta Devi and DPS as English specialists got belled out on first question but Akosua picked the second question.

Justine and Bill for Matta and DPS respectively as Math wiz kids got nothing for their toils.

Afrifa and Indriani for Matta Devi and DPS respectively in Science as experts shared the twenty (20) points.

Jesse and Afua for Matta Devi and DPS respectively in General Knowledge as experts showed up next.

Jesse was quick to identify Ghanaian-American comedian Michael Blackson but he mistook the surname with Jackson and was thus technically wrong.
