The 2025 Central Regional qualifiers of the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) are continuing unabated, and Edinaman Senior High School has made a bold statement by securing the fourth qualification slot in thrilling fashion.
In a contest that saw five schools battling head-to-head, Edinaman SHS overcame an early points gap to dominate the final round and eliminate all competition with a decisive riddle performance.
Round one started on a balanced note, with all five schools, Edinaman SHS, Dunkwa SHTS, SDA SHS (Gomoa), Abakrampa SHTS, and T.I. Ahmadiyya SHS (Ekumfi), correctly answering their first set of questions. But as the round progressed, dropped questions turned into bonus opportunities for others.
At the end of round one, Dunkwa SHTS led with 17 points, SDA SHS followed with 14, Edinaman SHS had 13, while Abakrampa and T.I. Ahmadiyya both trailed with 11 points.
In the speed race round, Edinaman SHS picked up the pace, attempting most of the questions. Though they missed a few, their boldness paid off. By the end of round two, they had moved to the top with 19 points, overtaking Dunkwa SHTS, who followed with 16 points. SDA SHS, Abakrampa, and T.I. Ahmadiyya ended the round with 13, 10, and 9 points, respectively.
The True or False round saw Edinaman SHS and Dunkwa SHTS continuing their momentum. Edinaman ended round three in the lead with 29 points, Dunkwa close behind with 26 points, while Abakrampa moved up to 23. SDA SHS, Gomoa and T.I. Ahmadiyya followed with 17 and 13 points.
But it was the riddle round that sealed Edinaman’s victory in dramatic fashion. They rang for all four riddles and answered every single one correctly. That 12-point boost brought their total to 41 points, shutting the door on their competitors who ended the contest with the same scores they had in round three.
No school in the contest crossed the 40-point mark, which means for the rest, the journey ends here.
With this win, Edinaman SHS becomes the fourth school to book a place in the Central Regional championship and in the national championship as well.
The stage is heating up, and with more contests to come, the big question now is: who’s next to rise?
