Had a question in my mind, but couldn't get enough pictures for it. But I think these two Qs will tickle your grey cell pretty nicely.

I would like to begin with the most cliched statement every quizzer hears. Yes, the answer is there in the picture. And it is not the part I erased. As a matter of fact, don't even know why I took that off. This is the telegram from Washington to Cabinet Office. But what is it about?

I know, you are tired of seeing letters. But I am giving another picture to make things easier. Who wrote the letter to whom?

Hey!

An eventful weekend parted us after adding a couple of appoggiaturas to an already animated week. A string of seven days which saw "Brother Leader and Guide of the Revolution" being questioned by his own people, a civil servant in Odisha being theatrically kidnapped by Maoists, a no-hike Railway budget which pleased only the denizens of Mamta's Land, et al.

I don't know whom to blame for all this. But you can blame me for the questions below.

Arrivederci

CONNECT the three pictures and you'll get something truly world-wide!

Thank you, Juggernaut. The questions is about a marvelous sporting pulsation. The unrestrained success and the eventual demise!

Starship NRM to Earth,

What is it with these smileys!? And why the hell are all those smiling faces almost always yellow?

Okay, these are not the questions for today. Just some random dubieties with many 'stochastic' answers in my groggy head. Been stuck in an unfrequented dungeon does give one scads of doubts to toy with. Making questions isn't an easy task, and other quizzers will agree when I say you need to think a lot. I've been thinking, and thinking for quite some time. Forget thinking, I took the game to another level. I tried to come up with few of my own smileys. Well, I was kind of inspired by a flying pig. At 10.20 pm, I was all fired up to post the following questions.

What the hell do these emoticons mean?

But I knew the answers, 1.I'm trying to sleep and 2. I'm almost asleep, would not go well with many 'smart as a whip' Q crackers. Okaaaay, I know the road to some good ol' questions may meander through sinuous beelines, but does that give me the right to effuse my weird persuasions on this page? Well, as the owner of the blog, I have an unforfeitable right to ramble on!! But I'll drill hole in your heads someother time.

Enjoy the questions!!

I'm quite sure you'll be put off by the vague commix of pictures. But I believe this is an interesting question because you will get to know about THE ANSWER soon through the newspapers.

Not sure whether I have asked this one before. Maybe in Confluence Sports Quiz. Anyway, just connect the pictures.

Well, I'm Back.

2011-02-24T22:49:00.011+05:30

Greetings, fellow earthlings.

After 367 long days of slumbering, I'm back. Well, coming back to life didn't seem like a devious route. Earthly life, though remaining elusive to my stream of consciousness, didn't really exhibit much progress in the gazillion attoseconds which went by.

To start things afresh, I am going to throw a few annoying Qs.

Schadenfreude!!

Now then, the flags are of countries from two different continents. I can add more flags to represent more countries. I mean, the list is not exhaustive. All these countries share a unique pejorative name. The dude has nothing to do with these countries being called 'BLAH', but he is the reason why we know the term. Enjoy!!

So, the first picture is a mise en scène of a great battle. The guy with the beard spoke redolently of the conflict. Now, if you know the third picture, you could consider yourself pretty close to the answer.

Cheerios!!

This was in 2001. Who is X?

7. He was born in Bologna in 1960 .He later attended the local university, graduating with a degree in economics in 1984.

All u have to do is identify the sports. That's it...

1. This is a team sport with similarities to bowls and bocce, played on a rectangular sheet of carefully prepared ice by two teams of four players each. The object of the game is to place more rocks near the center of a target painted on the ice than the opposing team.The game was (and still is, in Scotland and Scottish-settled regions like southern New Zealand) also known as "the roaring game" because of the sound the stones make while traveling over the pebble (droplets of water applied to the playing surface).Today the game is most firmly established in Canada, having been taken there by Scottish emigrants. Which sport are we talking about?

2. North America 's oldest sport is also currently its fastest growing, at all levels from youth to professional.It was invented by Native Americans as a martial yet spiritual pastime for young braves. The Jesuit missionary Jean de Brebeuf was the first European to see this sport played;subsequently it became popular with French pioneers, and then with the English and Americans. some of the terms used in this sport are 'box', 'crease','pick' and 'pocket'. Which sport is this?

3. X differs from other team sports in that it is a mixed-gender game: a team consists of four men and four women. X is played either indoors or outdoors on a court divided into two halves called zones. In each zone there is a post (3.5 m, shorter for the young) with a basket at the top. It was a demonstration sport during the Olympic Games of 1920 and 1928 (which were held in Antwerp and Amsterdam). Nico Broekhuysen, a Dutch school teacher, learned a game called ring boll on a visit to Sweden in 1902. Identify X.

4. Once a year, on the third Saturday in October ("Bridge Day"), permission to__________has explicitly been granted at the New River Gorge Bridge in Fayetteville, West Virginia.

This annual event attracts about 450 _______ers, and nearly 200,000 spectators. If the conditions are good, in the six hours that it is legal, there may be over 800 jumps. For many skydivers who would like to try _________, this will be the only fixed object from which they ever jump. On 21 October 2006, veteran Brian Lee Schubert of Alta Loma, California was killed jumping from the New River Gorge Bridge during Bridge Day activities. His parachute opened late and he plummeted to his death in the waters below. Jumps continued following the recovery of his body.He and his friend Michael Pelkey were the first to make a _______from El Capitan in Yosemite National Park in 1966.Fill in the blank.

5. On February 9, 1895, in Holyoke, Massachusetts (USA), William G. Morgan, a YMCA physical education director, created a new game called Mintonette as a pastime to be played preferably indoors and by any number of players. The game took some of its characteristics from tennis and handball. Mintonette was designed to be an indoor sport less rough than basketball for older members of the YMCA, while still requiring a bit of athletic effort.
After an observer, Alfred Halstead, noticed the ______ nature of the game at its first exhibition match in 1896, played at the International YMCA Training School (now called Springfield College), the game quickly became known as _____. ______ rules were slightly modified by the International YMCA Training School and the game spread around the country to various YMCAs.

6. _________ was known in ancient times; an early form of the sport was played in ancient Greece and Egypt. In Japan, the related game Hanetsuki was played as early as the 16th century. The game was called "Poona" in India during the 18th century, and British Army officers stationed there took a competitive Indian version back to England in the 1860's, where it was played at country houses as an upper class amusement. Isaac Spratt, a London toy dealer, published a booklet, "________ Battledore - a new game" in 1860, but unfortunately no copy has survived. The new sport was definitively launched in 1873 at the ________ House, Gloucestershire, owned by the Duke of Beaufort. During that time, the game was referred to as "The Game of ________," and, the game's official name became ________.

7. The origin of this game is found in the game of "mail” played in the French countryside during the middle-ages. Borrowed by the British in the 14th century, the modern version was developed by Ireland in 1830s influenced by cricket. It may have evolved from the earlier mallet and ball game Pall Mall. Which game are we talking about?

Hi guys,

The following questions are based on sports related events.

1. The Nordic games were a multi sport event held first in 1901 and continued till 1926. It was organized by Sweden’s Central Association for the Promotion of Sports. It was a major success though majority of the participants were from Sweden. It was later discontinued due to WW1 and also due to economic constraints due to the war. It was again to be started in 1942 but was cancelled due to WW2. After this Nordic games were never held. But this event became the precursor to a bigger event. Which event was inspired from this?
