By now, we all know about various quirks about our sectionmates, just by observing them in class throughout the year. There are the cynics, the optimists, the capitalists, the bankers, the sleepers, the target consumer of every case, and of course, the one who wears pink. Part of the HBS experience is learning about the interesting tidbits about classmates that are not necessarily revealed in class. So, here’s a quiz to find out how much you know about the members of Section H…
1) Who were roommates in college?

4) Which students do not use their first names in class?
5) How many students wrote Texas as their home region on their classcards?
6) How many people have the letter “H” in their name? (First and Last Name as it appears on their namecards.)
7) What does “vaunted” mean?
8) What does LN stand for in Mr. Sadani’s name?
