1.Abstract

In the buzzer round of quiz contests, the question is thrown open to all the teams.
The person who knows the answer hits the buzzer first and then answers the
question. Sometimes two or more players hit the buzzer almost simultaneously
and it is very difficult to detect which of them has pressed the buzzer first. In
television shows, where the whole event is recorded, the actions are replayed in
slow motion to detect the first hit. Such slow motions are possible only where
huge funds are available to conduct the show. For this reason buzzer rounds are
avoided for quiz contests held in colleges.
This project is useful for a 4-team quiz contest, although it can be modified for
more number of teams. This system is sensitive. The circuit can detect and record
the first hit contestant among all the contestants that may appear to be
simultaneous Buzzer controllers for 4-team quizzes are readily available in the
market. However, buzzer controller capable handling six or eight team are hard to
find. The circuit presented here can be used for up to eight teams. It can be easily
expanded to accommodated more teams through suitable cascading of latches
and AND gates along with transistors, relays, etc.
2. Introduction

The fastest finger first circuit diagram presented here determines as to which of
the four contestants first pressed the button and locks out the remaining three
entries of the other three members. Simultaneously, an audio alarm (buzzer) and
the correct decimal number display of the corresponding contestant are
activated.

In the buzzer round of any quiz contest question are thrown open to all the
participating teams. Each team has a push button switch to ring the buzzer. After
hearing the question any member of a team who knows the answer and hits there
switch first gets a chance to answer. In multiple cases who hit the switch first gets
the opportunity to reply. For next round the quiz master reset the buzzer
operation circuit by pressing the reset switch. For visual indication all teams have
the lamp fitted on their desk. The lamps glow until the reset of buzzer controller
indicating the eligible team for replying the question. For audio indication the
buzzer rings and turns off automatically after a few second. The audio visual
circuit is powered through actuation of relay contacts. Here 230v AC has been
used.
3.Motivation

There are lots of Applications who indicates fastst Finger , Quiz-type game shows
are increasingly becoming popular on television these days. In such games, fastest
finger first indicators (FFFIs) are used to test the player’s reaction time. The
player’s designated number is displayed with an audio alarm when the player
presses his entry button.

4. Problem Statement
A company is planning to forecast a show for public welfare and for company
upliftment .
For the same, Company wanted to fetch a device which can be used to select
them on the basis of response time.
5. Working Principle

First we declare all the integers which represent every digital and analog pin used

In the setup we declare the pinmodes to set digital pins to output and the analog
pins to input

In the loop section we declare the integer analogvalue1 to the serial value of the
analogpin1 and the integer analogvalue2 to the serial value of analogpin2
 Then we write If statements which is when the analogvalue1 is higher than the
threshold (which is 1021) the ledpin1 is high (which means it supplies 5volts) and
ledpin2 is low (which means it supplies no voltage)

Another If statement is when the analogvalue2 is higher than the threshold the
ledpin2 is high and ledpin1 is low
