(As of Q25) It would be ideal to update this once every five to ten questions
QuestionsQ1Congrats to BostonMA for winning the monumental Round 12! As you must have guessed by now mythology is my favorite subject. And therefore we begin this round with, guess what, a mythology question :-D .. Here it goes: A reason often evoked in Indian mythology for refusing marriage proposals is that the proposed couple is already in relation XY. Now mythological character A used this clause twice to refuse marriage, claiming he was X to person B and Y to person C, so could not marry either. What is XY, and who are A, B and C? -- Longhairandabeard 17:47, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Q2A cryptic one. What does India have in common with Sri Lanka, Ireland, Côte d'Ivoire, and Zambia but not the United States, Japan, Pakistan, Canada, Egypt and Bangladesh? -- Samir धर्म 02:08, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Q3If you insist... ;-) This one is going to be a little tough: Connect Lala Lajpat Rai, Goddess Lakshmi, the right to hoist the national flag of India and the Tughlaq dynasty. -- Longhairandabeard 01:44, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
Q4Huh, semi-retirement indeed! I guess I'll keep stepping in now and then. Here is the question. Connect the names Shankar, Ram and Amar with the Indian film industry. Don't think personalities and you'll get there. -- Gurubrahma 04:52, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Q5Thanks, Guru! Another linkage question from me. The answers should be interesting, as there may be more than one link. Question: Connect gene silencing, satyagraha and Malgudi. -- Longhairandabeard 04:30, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
(deindentingIt was not a very big news, only a few newspapers reported it. You need to find it, though, to get that elusive Indian connection of gene silencing. -- Longhairandabeard 14:46, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Q6A seemingly simple question now: Connect the Nizam and Kakatiya. -- Gurubrahma 09:09, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
de-indenting:The five star Kakatiya Sheraton in the city of Nizams? -- h y dka t 11:44, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Is it Narsimha Rao? He started his political career protesting against The Nizam and edited a magazine called "kakatiya"? And Hi to all, I am new here. Anoopsaxena76 16:25, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Oops how do I start a new question? Anoopsaxena76 17:54, 13 October 2006 (UTC) Q7Thanks. Almost did it when I ran into conflict. :) I do not know if, and how, I can ask questions involving pictures, so I will start with a simple question because of Oct 11. Who had given Amitabh Bachchan the title "One man industry"? Anoopsaxena76 19:30, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Nope. It was definitely given by a man. And just to give a hint, he is not an Indian. Anoopsaxena76 19:53, 13 October 2006 (UTC) You have the baton Kollfan. Anoopsaxena76 20:16, 13 October 2006 (UTC) Q8Thanks. A simple one: what does Vadodara have in common with Fortaleza, Cairo and Urumchi, but not with Bangalore, Johannesburg, Bogota and Madrid? Kollfan 21:06, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Q9Okay here goes (I was a defaulter last time so let me do this before I forget). Complete the list and connect: Jacob Martin, Abhay Sharma, Paras Mhambrey, Sairaj Bahutule, Sanjay Bangar, _____________. -- Cribananda 01:17, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Q10Connect Margaret Bourke-White and Peter Ustinov. -- Gurubrahma 05:32, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
Q11All right, another complete and connect (this time easier). Kuala Lumpur, Manchester, Melbourne, _________________. - Cribananda 06:20, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Q12An easy one as my first question. A detention camp was later converted to a technical institution in a country which is a member of Commonwealth of Nations. Name the detention camp.-- nids (♂) 21:54, 18 October 2006 (UTC) Yes. you get the baton. nids (♂) 07:46, 19 October 2006 (UTC) Q13Thanks! Another easy one. What occasion in India falls March 22 every year, except on March 21 in leap years? -- Longhairandabeard 13:30, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Q14This recent pair has been touted as one of the most effective hit-pairs in Indian advertising industry's history for a single product campaign. The pair comprises Jayaram and X. Who is X and what am I talking about? -- Gurubrahma 05:12, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Q15Which Indian musical instrument does not have markings for notes, and is played by assumption? -- Longhairandabeard 15:38, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
Q16While we are wondering What LHAB has in mind, I will post a new question. Why should we remember Sept. 15, 2005 today (perhaps especially early this morning)? Asked another way, connect Sept. 15, 2005 with today. -- BostonMA talk 16:31, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
Gurubrahma gets it. Sadly, an explosion at a fireworks factory in Khusropur killed 35 including 10 children. This accident on 15 Sept. 2005 was the most deadly explosion at a fireworks factory in India since a similar accident in Meenamapatti on 12 July, 1991 [11] which killed 40 children [12] according to official reports, and up to 200 children according to India Today (which claimed that the number of children who died was undercounted to conceal the extent of the use of child labor.) Over to you Gurubrahma. -- BostonMA talk 12:11, 23 October 2006 (UTC) Q17A relative sitter: This Bollywood actor was a national level football player before entering films. Who am I talking about? -- Gurubrahma 03:04, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Q18Connect Suranjit Sengupta to Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi to George Fernandes . Bakaman Bakatalk 13:40, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Q19Thanks Bakaman.. Next question: Tipu Sultan was an expert in a fine art, and wrote a monograph on the subject. What was this fine art? -- Longhairandabeard 03:25, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Q20This person contested several elections including the one for President of India. He gained so much notoriety that his alias has become generic for the perennial candidate who fights every election. A TV news channel also had a spoof program with his alias as the title. Identify the person and his alias. -- Gurubrahma 19:23, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Q21Complete and connect: Japan-Kyoto, Spain-Granada, Russia-Moscow, Australia-Sydney, Turkey-Istanbul, India-? Kollfan 19:53, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Q22Thanks Kollfan! This next one should be easy: This Britisher wrote a book on Indian birds, hanged only a handful of soldiers as District Magistrate during the 1857 uprising, and founded a vernacular newspaper. He is most well known for another reason though. Who is he? -- Longhairandabeard 17:07, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Q23The person A was preceded in his high political post by a person B born in the other continent. Years of studying at the university gave A connection with C, whose name was (and still is despite the fact C is no longer alive) one of the most respected in C's continent, which is different from native continents of A and B. Both B and C were seen with suspicion in the USA. Name A,B and C. Kollfan 21:45, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
de-indenting Whoever C is, I guess Bakasuprman shd get the baton as he got the major part of the question right. Keep the quiz moving, one week on a single question is unpardonable. Maybe Kollfan shd have passed the baton on to someone else before going offline? Just thinking aloud, -- Gurubrahma 05:36, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Q24Connect Hinduism in Azerbaijan to the Communist Party of India . (This is a long one, but the links are straightforward). Bakaman Bakatalk 23:59, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Q25This one might require some prolonged hunting.. Connect: a breed of black Burmese cat, a brand of gin by Bacardi, Emilio Estevez, and a Swedish eurodance artist. Of course, keep in mind what portal this is.. -- Longhairandabeard 03:29, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
