Questions
Q 41.01
Thank you Viswa. Here's one simple question to begin the new round!
Identify this famous Scientist/Atheist/Author. He has been the founder of a world-class institute. He has won more than 50 awards which includes Padma Bhushan, France’s highest civilian honour, Legion d’Honneur etc. Prasad (talk) 16:30, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
Dr. Pushpa Mittra Bhargava, Founder Director of Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB), Hyderabad, India?ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 17:12, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, you are right Viswa. A page has to be created for this great scientist. Over to you.Prasad (talk) 00:54, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
Q 41.02
Three lines and an agricultural tool. Where can you see them? ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 04:34, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
- No! There is no corn or sickle. Just three stripes and one big tool ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 06:03, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
- No! There is no other icons or scripts. Just three stripes and one big tool!
CLUE: It is the only constitutionally privileged and allowed one to exist among a possible/potential larger group of such entities.ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 08:21, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 16:11, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
Q 41.03
Sorry for the delay..i was busy and will be busy for some more time, can somebody pl. take the baton, thanks.Prasad (talk) 05:39, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
- What happened, the board has become inactive again? Anyhow here's another simple one to start again:
Mysore(MYC) to Bangalore City Junction (SBC) 17303 and Bangalore Yashvantpur(YPR) to Mysore(MYC) 17304 Malgudi Express?ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 07:15, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
- That could be a technically valid answer, but that's not the answer i was looking for! :) Prasad (talk) 08:15, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
Manjunath, who acted as Swamy in Malgudi days is now being the VP (PR & Liaison) for the Bangalore Mysore Infrastructure Project?
Or else, you will have to be a little more specific on what aspects the connection is made. ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 13:54, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
Q 41.04
Connect an ancient but absolutely fundamental system or format that was used in one of the Indian languages to a (rather) modern and absolutely fundamental system or format that was introduced by a scientist and widely used ever since. While the former one is still being appreciated for its exemplary computational advantages, latter one was so innovative like a prophecy. ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 17:39, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
- Your answer is almost in the same direction...
Clue 1.
The scientist once said "burning petroleum is as sinful as using currency bills instead of firewood for cooking"! He (probably rightly) assumed it had a better value as a raw material. ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 09:21, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
- Subhash Kak? Prasad (talk) 10:01, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
- Not him! However, he has noted the relation between the two formats in his writings. ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ(talk) 11:02, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
- No.
Clue 2.
The scientist is from Russia and he is also connected to Heidelberg. ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 06:44, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
You are right now! :)
Only they are better known as MaheSwara Soothras. Even more than numbering those elements, the concept of structuring the periodic table (into proper rows and coloumns) was so innovative that was probably only once happened before that when Panini grouped the phonemes into 14 easy sets as basic data addressing system for his subsequent thousands of Vyakarana Soothras. Each such soothra could be very analogous to the symbolic formula for a complex chemical compound.
ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 08:43, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks Viswa, that was very cryptic and also enlightening at the same time! Will put a new question by evening.Prasad (talk) 09:23, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
Q 41.05
A simple connect from our mythology.
Connect Vishnu’s Sudarsan Chakra, Shiva’s trident, Kartikeya’s lance and Kuber’s weapons! Prasad (talk) 13:33, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
It was all made by Viswakarman (god of architecture and industry) out of the sun's rays he sheared as his daughter Sanjana (the goddess of consciousness) who was married to Sun could not cope up with the brilliance of the Sun. ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 14:01, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
Q 41.06
One Doctor, Two Film Stars, Two Cricketers and One businessman. Who are they? What have got them in common?ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 12:50, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
- Dr. Deepak Rao, Mohanlal, Nana Patekar, Kapil Dev/Tendulkar, Dhoni and Abhinav Bindra. These were awarded honorary rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Territorial Army of India or Indian Airforce ?? Prasad (talk) 14:49, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
That was quick, Prasad. :-) So yours is the next question.
BTW, it has started feeling a little odd that there are no other souls roaming around these allies, isn't it!? :-( Why? Are everyone just busy, I wonder! ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 17:03, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks Viswa. I too wonder why other souls are not visible here!! I will stop for a day or two now. Anybody interested can put up their question:)) Prasad (talk) 17:14, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
Q 41.07
In Reminiscences of the Nehru Age by Nehru’s Personal Secretary M O Mathai he talks about X . He goes on say X was endowed with a perpetual bedroom look, with features somewhat resembling a Negress’s, she fashioned herself after the “Black Princess” of the Ajanta Caves. Whenever X was in Delhi,X insisted on being put up in a room next to Nehru’s.
Find X?--Chax(Not able to click on the Tilde~ sign in the page)
- Welcome back, Chax! I think it is Padmaja Naidu, daughter of Sarojini naidu? You can either type or select from Special characters/Symbols from above:-) Prasad (talk) 09:50, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, Thats Right Prasad. BTW Reminiscences of the Nehru Age is a fantastic book, you can find torrents for the e-book.Gives a good view about Nehruvian politics :)
Over to you Prasad-Chax.
Q 41.08
Thank you Chax, here's another little, may be lateral connect:
Connect Kelucharan Mahapatra with a South Indian film director and a Tamil stage show "Netru, Indru, Nalai".Prasad (talk) 12:15, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
- Clue 1: The central figure of this question, has acted in only one film directed by that South Indian film director.Prasad (talk) 04:54, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
Is this Anil Kapoor who acted in Mani Ratnam's debut movie Pallavi AnuPallavi which was choreographed by Kelucharan Mahapatra. Mani Ratnam directed the Tamil Stage Show "Netru, Indru, Nalai".-Chax (talk) 05:35, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
- No, i don't think Kelucharan Mahapatra choreographed that movie:-) Prasad (talk) 05:54, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
- Clue 2: The film in question got 3 state awards, Best Picture, Best actress & Special Jury for the male lead :-)Prasad (talk) 09:25, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
Swarnakamalam, Kasinadhuni Viswanath & Sharon Lowen ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 11:54, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
- As usual On the Dot Viswa! Sharon Lowen is a disciple of Guru Kelucharan Mahapatra. She acted in only this movie. Bhanupriya, the female lead in Swarnakamalam is also an artist in Maniratnam's "Netru, Indru, Nalai". Shoot another good one Viswa.Prasad (talk) 12:10, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
- Viswa, what happened? Pl.put up a new question! Prasad (talk) 16:07, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
Q 41.09
Phonetically connect A,B,C where
A is an abbreviation with a digit,
B is another abbreviation with a digit, and
C is a Digit combined with an abbreviation.
ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 18:54, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
- G5, G20 and G8 PLUS 5, where India is member of all these? Or give some hint pl. Prasad (talk) 16:19, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
It has something to do with video games. All A,B and C are single digits. In fact, A & B are both same digit. ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 16:50, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
Ra1 and G1? Unable to guess C though, may be 3D? Goutham787 (talk) 18:53, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
That's perfectly right! :-) ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 21:57, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
Q 41.10
There was a king who selected a bird to do an advanced version of something, which a different a set of birds were famous for in older days. But this concept is later on found to be unreliable and many loopholes are found.
Make sense out of what I am talking about. Goutham787 (talk) 18:04, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
No. Not even close. Goutham787 (talk) 12:43, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
The king is still alive. Think laterally. Connect to something recent. I will be busy next week, so may not be able to actively participate. Will give away more easier clues if above doesn't help. Goutham787 (talk) 12:39, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
Sorry, was out of station! Take the king literally! Observe the words 'Unreliable' and 'loopholes'. There's something in them!Goutham787 (talk) 14:53, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
- Is it got something to do with the low-cost airlines like Kingfisher red, jetlite etc..? Prasad (talk) 16:37, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
- No, Not about airlines. The bird is the name of a company which was involved in something with the 'king'. Goutham787 (talk) 18:06, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
- I am talking about a scam. Goutham787 (talk) 16:13, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
- Is it is Ramalinga "Raju"(King?) and Satyam scam?? Prasad (talk) 17:04, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
No. Another king. Goutham787 (talk) 17:44, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
- Finally! I meant A.Raja and Swan Telecom in relation to 2G scam. I tried to relate Telecommunications as modern form of communication systems in which birds like pigeons were used in earlier days. Loop Mobile and Reliance telecom were supposed to serve as further hints. Prasad, please post a question! Sorry for being too vague. Goutham787 (talk) 18:01, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
Q 41.11
Phew! OK, time for an easy question to make things lighter, we shall see how much time this question lives!!

Back from WCI2011, a great time to remember for ever!
Q 41.12
Along the cut chicken A, there is a long and winding serpent B. It was the British who gave birth to this serpent. For many decades, it remained still and well. But over the years, B's significance was reduced and no one really cared for its existence. In the last few years, however, there are major attempts to reinstate the health of B.
A has a significant role in the climatic features of an important region.
Name A & B. ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 07:15, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
- No ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 18:25, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
- Is it is the Palk straits & Indo-Lanka land bridge? Otherwise give a hint pl.! Prasad (talk) 01:16, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
- Not again.
- The original question already contains specific tip words built-in. Multiple nations have interest upon this area.ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 03:36, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
You are right finally, Prasad! The Patkai mean cut chicken. And Ledo Road had a name "Stilwell" ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 17:37, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
Q 41.13

Connect a Subhash Ghai's hit movie with a South Indian town and Jerusalem? Prasad (talk) 05:00, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
- Nazreth is connection for latter two? I wonder what is with movie, because I am not a movie buff!VasuVR (talk,contribs) 06:22, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
- No, that was not i am looking for! Prasad (talk) 06:33, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
- Is the movie Pardes? Pardes could refer to a Jewish exegesis or the Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies in Jerusalem. Can't find the connect with the South Indian town. --Jairodz (talk) 06:54, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
- No, that was not i am looking for! Prasad (talk) 06:33, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
Pardes is the movie. Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies is in Jerusalem. Paradesi Synagogue is at Mattanchery Jew Town Which is in fact, part of Kochi city. ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 11:44, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
- No probs. In fact, he should take the full point. More so for getting involved in this long running dialogue of ours (we two) which has become rather uninteresting otherwise!
Jai, Please take the baton and bring up a tough question! Thanks ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 13:36, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
I agree with you Viswa, Nice of you for your generosity, Jairodz broke the monotonous dialogue, Jai pl. put up a good question :-)Prasad (talk) 14:15, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
- Oh, it was indeed Mattanchery. :-) Did refer to the Mattancherry article knowing about the Jews settled there, and saw it referred to as the western part of city of Kochi. Then looked for some real town in Southern India named Pardes or Jerusalem. So dumb... :-) Not sure I could put up a worthy question but still will give it a try. And ViswaPrabha, your absence has more or less made the Kerala Quiz quite inactive. :-) --Jairodz(talk) 14:36, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
- Split the points. It's not fair if the points aren't at least shared. :-) Couldn't find much time to frame a question and I guess I'll be pretty busy over the weekends. So, please don't wait any longer if I don't come up with a question before the 24 hours limit. --Jairodz (talk) 18:28, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
Q 41.14
Okay. Here I am, with my first question at the India Quiz.

- Howrah → Y → Nagpur
- X, Y: 🚉
Identify X, Y and hence the contrasting connect between them. --Jairodz (talk) 16:17, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Y = Ib (IB), the shortest name (along with Od @WR) for an Indian Railways' station.
ViswaPrabha വിശ്വപ്രഭ (talk) 17:25, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

- Another clue: The national park is in Kerala. I didn't mention it's the first film. First ____ film :-) Expecting the answer soon.--Jairodz (talk) 09:24, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
Right! Sairandhri is the entrance point and visitors' center for the Silent Valley National Park which is locally known as Sairandhrivanam. Sairandhri is India's first color film, for which we do not have a Wikipedia article yet. :-) --Jairodz (talk) 09:59, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
