Despite a good performance from both challengers, Augusco’s masterclass proved that sometimes, good is just not enough.
They dominated the contest from Round Two to Round Five after struggling with the other schools for supremacy in the opening round.
Osei Tutu asked for Harvard, but they got AUGUSCO.

“But best of all,” in the words of Quiz Mistress, Prof. Elsie Effah Kaufmann is that they have qualified for the semifinal.
