Special Event Quiz

Today happens to be a very special day for Neo Quiz Spot . Two of our inspirations Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln took birth on this day 200 years back. Both have revolutionized our thought process: Darwin gave us the power of "Change" and Abe has paved the way to liberty. We, the team members bow to the ideals that these men held, fought and died for. These men have transcended the time and country to inspire us in India, even after 200 years. It is these ideals that our organization stands for and this quiz is dedicated to these men.
