The document describes the rules for a chemistry department quiz competition involving teams answering questions to uncover visual clues. Each team will start with a covered visual and can remove blocks one by one by answering questions correctly. Additional blocks can be removed but at a penalty of losing 10 marks per block. The last uncovered visual must be identified for 40 marks. The last question will also be passed to other teams for additional points.

3. Each team will be provided with a visual clue, which will be
covered by six blocks.
1 2 3
4 5 6

4. Six questions will be asked to each team of which each will carry
10 marks.
By answering each question, the team can remove a block on
the visual, according to their choice.
A team can further remove additional blocks, even though they
didn’t answered the questions. But for each additional block thus
removed, they have to sacrifice 10 marks.
The last question will be identify the visual, which will carry 40 marks.
Only the last question will be passed to other teams,
which, if answered correctly will provide 10 marks. The other
teams won’t be permitted to remove any more blocks.
