St. Peter’s SHS makes history: becomes First School to Answer Four Riddles Correctly in NSMQ 2020

St Peters has officially become the first to answer four out of four riddles correctly since the inception of the GOIL Riddle Bonanza award.

NSMQ heavyweight, St Peter’s SHS (NSMQ 2000, 2005 & 2018 Champions), made history today at the R.S.  Amegashie Auditorium, University of Ghana by answering all four riddles in the final round correctly. They become the first to achieve this feat in the 2020 edition of the NSMQ.

They led every round of the competition with panache, despite an unfortunate hiccup in Round Three, where they scored only one point.

St Peter’s SHS bounced back in Round Four with full vigour and ended the round with a 24-point margin. They closed the game by answering all four riddles correctly to win the GOIL Riddle Bonanza award, worth GH₵1600.00 at the One-eighth Stage.
