Apurba Kundu lives in Bradford. He is participating to try something new. He is going to be doing a pub quiz while on the plinth. It will have a twist - it is all about him. He is going to make people care by giving five pounds to people who get the right answer, delivered by paper aeroplane. He hopes the rain will stop. He has an American accent but was born in Jamaica to an Italian mother and an Indian father; he has lived in many places but spent most of his life in the UK. He first came to the UK to study English literature. He doesn't expect to have much impact but hopes the crowd enjoys it. He met his partner at a singing class. He considers himself very lucky.
