Supporters of Osei Tutu SHS were left in a state of shock after crashing out of this year's National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) on Wednesday.

The school lost to Adisadel College in a tight, yet, exciting one-eighth contest which featured Bishop Herman College.

Adisco roared and prowled from the chime of the bell for the first round till the contest was wrapped up beyond the reach of their rivals, Osei Tutu SHS and Bishop Herman College.

The "Santaclausians" proved too hard to be cracked by their close contenders, Osei Tutu SHS who enjoyed a cheering support in the auditorium throughout the race.

As was expected by many, Bishop Herman College was nearly reduced to mere spectators in the contest.

The former NSMQ champions garnered 45 points whereas Osei Tutu SHS scored 30 points while Bishop Herman College trailed with some 19 points.

Adisadel College also won the GOIL Riddle Bonanza worth GH₵1,200 for solving three riddles correctly in the fifth round.

The 'Abrempong' as well as Bishop Herman College had no alternative than to exit the race and prepare to come back next year stronger and fiercer.
