This National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) 2024 contest lived up to its hype, with many dubbing it "the finals before the finals." The semi-final showdown came down to a tiebreaker, as Mfantsipim School and Presbyterian Boy' Secondary School (Presec-Legon) were neck and neck with 53 points each at the end of regular time.
Osei Tutu SHS trailed behind among the three schools at this critical moment and was asked by the quiz mistress to excuse the rest of their team from the sudden death round.
