Not so long ago I had put up quiz number 8, I suppose. Then I went around on a trivia hunting spree and came up with 10 mor questions. Also I've been asked to collate questions for some upcoming B-School fest, the names which I cannot reveal. So the questions posted today are culled from that file, hence the weird numbering.
66] Eli Cohen, an Israeli spy based in Damascus disguised as a Syrian, was arguably Israeli’s most successfulspy ever. He passed on vital information about Syrian war plans and defense equipment during the 1960s, which played a key role in Israel’s spectacular victory against Syria during the six-day war. The exposure of his real identity and his subsequent arrest and execution, ironically, had an unintended Indian connection. What was the connection?
40] "Peace is a lie, there is only passion / Through passion, I gain strength / Through strength, I gain power / Through power, I gain victory/ Through victory, my chains are broken/ The Force shall free me." In popular culture/fiction, this is called "The ------- Code". What?
41] This residential area of lower Manhattan, New York gained a reputation in the early years of the 20th century for its bohemianism, and is associated with unconventional writers, artists and musicians, especially members of the Beat generation. What place are we talking about?
43] The original, dating back to 1952, is owned by Steven Spielberg, who has no intentions of selling it. Market buzz places the value of this item at $100,000 or higher. It is done largely in blue and has three people cowering up against a wall while a shadow lengthens in their direction. What are we talking about?
47] What are the specifications of the Field's Medal awarded to mathematicians? (Poor guys do not get the Nobel)
62] What is Fredrico Fellini's contribution to the English language?
72] For those who dwell in Wodehouse, if Jeeves is Wooster’s butler, who are the butlers of Lord Emsworth and Sir Watkyn Basset?
37] What was the Spruce Goose?
39] What did N G Bhansai and Hancock design based on the actress Kamini Kaushal?
BONUS
44] Names such as 'Jot & Jerk', 'Mount & Show', 'Press & Peel', 'Papillon' etc were once proposed for this invention, later featured at the New York Museum of Modern Art as an icon of beautiful everyday design in its "Humble Masterpieces" exhibit. Name the invention.

If it ain't baroque, don't fix it, aka Woh Joe Quiz No. 8
The float never stops at the gate when you want it to. The gammar never sounds right when you think the line is perfect. Johnny Cash played a few songs that sounded great the rest are in the unheard universe. Just like the misty prime numbers the sentences in this post do not have a definite sequence. The music quiz that follows this is a little random, a little Beatles but largely boring. It's also a day old, fermenting in the folder that holds most of the quizzes on this new machine. The last hard disk crashed because of a surfeit of data. Someday work will catch up and then the dog will stop sniffing at my ankles. There you know I exist, incredulity doesn't cost anything. If you need a redundancy ask me.
1] Start off with a simple, standard music question. I know my 100 is safe so I'll hazard easy questions. Name the artist/bandlthat recorded this song: "They foxymophandlemama, that's me?"

7] What can we credit DJ Kool Herc with?
8] Who was the first musician allowed to play an electric guitar on TV ?
9] Why has Motley Crue been banned from NBC?
10] What are the three primary woods used in the construction of a Gibson Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar?
Bonus Question
Another Beatles question complete the following line- "Well here is another clue for you all-------------------------"

Trivial At Best
I don't know what originality is. At one time I remember telling someone that it was 1 G and 4 T's only to be told that the description wasn’t original enough. Deja Vu is as much apart of my life as my fish scales or some German word which means fish scales. It seems that most of my ideas have been picked and used before, sometimes just a few days after I first thought of it. So I've given up on originality. You will never see this blog trying to do something out of the ordinary, it will stick to humdrum and record small bits of information only I and my balls are privy to. It will record the going-ons in the industry in which I'm employed, just like scores of other blogs around what has been so lovingly and unoriginally termed as the 'blogosphere', couldn't they have called it 'Blogaia' instead, or 'Blogosht', or ARCOB (A Random Collection Of Blogs). Wait!! I can’t suggest anything that is original.
There is a small little battle on, some sort of battle of wits because of the annual Indie Bloggies Award or some such. The regular biggies are slugging it out with a ‘vote for me’ post and other bloggers accusing these guys of being low and cheap and other, non-socialist behaviour. Come to think of it, being cheap is being socialist isn’t it? Yikes did I ruffle any feathers here? I hope not. I’m not a crusading blogger. Nor am I angst filled or sarcastic. I have no wit or vitriol at my disposal hence the nerdy “Quiz Posts”.
Did you guys know how the word geyser came into existence? It’s from Geysir, a thermal hotspot from Iceland. Oh I just gave that as a tidbit, it’s not to show how smart and wonderfully gifted I am. At best I’m blissfully trivial.
Those who came looking for the quiz, the previous post is the latest one and there is a twist to the bonus tail as well. Just scroll down you lovelies.

And on the seventh day God rested, I rested on the fifth, the sixth and the seventh. Then I sat on a quiz on the eighth, finally on the ninth I realised that I couldn't count that well. So unable to count I wore the barren day off (would somebody kill me for the line, anybody, dhiskyaauon).

The answers to Q6 and I wonder...
Here are the answers to the easiest quiz in the series. Now I'm wondering whether to put one up right away or wait until Monday. Anyone want to play??
1] Connect Wimbledon, Wales and Snatch.
- Vinnie Jones. This hard man played football for Wimbledon in the season during which they won the FA cup, he was also part of the Welsh national football team. He later acted in Guy Ritchie movies Lock Stock and Snatch playing a hard hitman in those.
2] A sitter for any football follower. This nation, alongwith England has played international football for the longest period. Which national team are we talking about?
-Scotland
3] Yet another easy one. Who are the members of the G.I.R.L squad?
-Dee Dee, Mee Mee and Lee Lee. If you've watched your cartoons you'd know that Dee Dee is Dexter irritating elder sister. Mee Mee and Lee Lee, are her friends.
4] Connect John Frankenheimer, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Joe Carnahan and Tony Scott (some funda here)
- All directors of BMW films that won a lot of acclaim. Each film showcased the prowess of BMW cars. I have around 8 of these films with me, they're short films, anyone interested in a copy??
5] "Short, broad chested with a large head; small eyes and a thin grey beard, he had a flat nose and a swarthy complexion, showing the evidences of his origin" This description is used to describe which king?
-Atilla the Hun
6] "Fast and the Furious" had its characters playing a video game on their Playstation in a couple of scenes. What game was it?
- Grand Turismo 3
7] The US has the Big Foot, Nepal and India have the Yeti, what elusive legend does Australia have?
- The Bunyip
8] Lets hit some old world logic puzzle here "Five men are standing in a circle. They know they are wearing at least 2 white hats and at least 2 black hats. They do not know what colour hat they are wearing. How many of them will figure out what colour their hat is? Of course they aren't allowed to communicate in any manner whatsoever." (An old quiz circuit favourite)
- 2. Two men will see three hats of the same colour, and one hat of a different colour. Since they know there cannot be four hats with the same colour, they will know their hat colour is the same as the one man with the different coloured hat. The two people who see those colours will know their hat colour. The other three will see a balanced number of hat colours, so they won't know what colour their hat is.
9] How did the antibiotic Bacitracin get its name?
-Extarcted from the bacillus in Tracy's arm.
10] I don't think we've had a cricket question. So here's to rectify the error. An Australian team toured England in 1868, the first by any Australian cricket team. What as odd about the tour?
- The team consisted of only aborgine players and had to be smuggled into England as they didn't have the permissions required to travel.
Bonus
Why do I have a Bonus question instead of Question No 11?

The answers to the last quiz...
Okay I'm coming back rather quick now, ain't I? Well, I've decided to let the quiz be online for the next 24 hours as well. The Woh Joe Quiz No 6 is open for answers until Jan 6 2005, 14:00 hrs (IST). So those who have around 7 answers right (wink, wink) have a chance to earn their first 100 off the blog. Now that's a decent extension, ain't it?
I was listening to Bob Dylan's 'Things Have Changed'. It was in a movie's soundtrack, the movie had Michael Douglas. Can you name it? (I'm not paying anyone for this) Rack your brains for this one, try not to use Google. They don't pay me anything you see. They call him the last great poet of the hippie generation, some go further and call him the greatest contemporary American poet. What movie had a class in English where they compared Bob Dylan and Dylan Thomas, the Irish poet? I can't help it, trivia spouts from the top of my head a few days a year. The movie we're talking about had a song that had a line taken from the Bible. Something to do with walking, shadows and some such. Talking about the Bible, what part of the Bible does Samuel L Jackson's character from 'Pulp Fiction' quote. We had a veejay by that name on one of our music channels a few years ago. I, of course, live in a time warp so am not quite reliable with my "few years ago" but we've had cable television for some 12 years or so, so I could be right.
Now I shall get back to my Bene Gesserit lessons. Kria if you're reading this you know what I'm reading.

I'm a cool savage and I'm playing truant....
Some people blog on a regular basis. I'm not one of them so I decided I'd put up a trivia quiz everyday. Now the problem was I needed a decent number of people coming in with responses so that I would be enthused enough to troll around and put up newer quizzes. I also thought that the lure of money would be strong enough for people to trundle in. What I forgot was that the net afforded me a large amount of annonymity and obscurity. I tried mass mailing and this did translate into a bigger number of hits and page views (you see those tools at the side, they do all the tracking for me) but answers, No. So now I've embarked on a "Hello, remember me?" mission. Going upto the blogs I used to frequently comment on and tell them that I'm alive. I've also decided to put up a few non quiz posts on a 'not very regular' basis. Maybe Ii'll talk about the industry I'm working in (like so many other bloggers around) or on social issues... No, I don't think social issues is my cuppa. I'll blog about what I do best, random 'charas'.
My photo and T-shirts are very misleading, so is my reputation. I'm a rather clean teetotaller and a vegetarian one at that. I encounter a lot of raised eybrows and gaping mouths when I tell junta about my eating and drinking habits. "Nah with that hair and beard, you don't look vegetarian." There was a time when I thought it was because I had a very 'I'll make do with anything' look on my face. You know the cool not so fussy look. But after a period of mulling over it I think these people are just hinting at the fact that I look like a savage. The mirror seems to ratify that. So now I'm a non-fussy savage. Does that sound cool enough??
PS: Ok I'm not playing truant, the quiz will be on and so will the answers on a regular basis. Just wondering, must I reduce the frequency of the quiz?
