QS 177

February 21st, 2010

Ok, the stage 3 is still not cracked. In fact none of the stage 2s have been cracked either. Here’s the fourth stage 2 of the series. Should definitely make things easier this one.

A
What hell hound would you associate her with?
177a
—————————————————————————————————————————————————–
B
Id the thaumaturge and her success story.
177b

Bigger picture here
—————————————————————————————————————————————————–
C
Name the band
177c

Stage 2 – The connect is someone who was friends with all of the above.
Stage 3, for five extra points – Connect QS 174,175,176 and 177

Only Rahul attempted it and got it completely right. Great Job

QS 176

February 20th, 2010

The response for QS 175 was lesser than that for QS 174. So my objective seems to have been completely defeated. Anyway, as promised I’ll keep the series going, until the stage 3 is cracked, with another four pointer. Five extra points for anyone who cracks the stage three today.

An album by a band that forms one half of A1 has a song named after arguably the most famous work of author A2. Name the album

A1
176c1

A2


——————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
B
What would you get if you associate a certain aged male with something whose earliest known map drawn by Ben Franklin is shown in the pic below?
176b1
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————–

C
The phrase first used by an American poet’s car mechanic, complaining about the incompetence of his assistants, was later associated with a group of people a few of whom have been shown in photograph. The phrase, also used to refer to the youth of the 1920s, came back into usage during the Global economic crisis of 2007-10. What phrase?

QS 175

February 18th, 2010

Ok, since nobody has cracked yesterday’s question, I’ll raise the stakes. What I will do is have a four pointer today as well. And the answer to today’s question along with that to yesterday’s (I mean the grand connects) would now form part of another theme (Stage three, in effect). This would probably continue for the next few days until either I run out of enthu or enough people have cracked the stage three, whichever happens first. So here’s today’s question

A
What other famous painting, according to many scholars, would be a part of this list? May not really be exhaustive, simply because there has so far been no concrete evidence to prove the claim.

175a1

175a2

175a3

175a4

175a5
———————————————————————————————————————————
B

What would you get if your remove B1 from what completes B2, more than one of B3, a variation of B4 etc?

B1

175b1

B2

175b2

B3

175b3

B4

175b4
—————————————————————————————————————————————————–

C
The author of C


Grand connect(Stage 2) – Connect A, B and C

Stage 3 – Connect QS 174 and 175

Only Rahul and Nitish scored a point here

—————————————————————————————
B
174b
—————————————————————————————
C
174c

Goes uncracked, although almost everyone who attempted it got A and B right to earn themselves two points. Kunal, Rahul, Appu, Nitish and Rithwik
