The final round was held with a careful round of scrutiny between the teams that passed from each group in the previous round. The final round was tense because each team had their own advantages. Sholikudin et al. had stumbled in the first round, but was able to turn things around when questions with high scores were answered correctly. The journey to the last round with guessing the picture successfully led the Sholikudin et al. took first place.

Based on the testimony of Sholikudin as the team leader, this competition is the third time he and his team have participated. The first year almost passed the final round, but ended up as the top 3 in the semifinal group. The second year succeeded in bringing the Third Place, and this year Sholikudin et al. managed to bring home the first prize.
Overall, the event was grand and lively. A good place to find experience, friends who invite goodness, and a winner's bonus which the Airlangga University delegation was relieved to bring home.
