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 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

QS 118

December 16th, 2009

The book “X1 and X2″ by A1 and A2 is actually based on two separate works- X1 by A1 and X2 by A2. A2, who nurtured a lifelong grudge against A1, apparently based his work X2 entirely on X1 (just modifying the name slightly), but predated it to a time earlier than when X1 was written just out of jealousy. According to another account, both A1 and A2 once entered a scientific contest at the University of Paris and tied for the first place. A2, unable to bear the ignominy, banned A1 from his house.

X1,X2,A1,A2?

I know there are more variables than equations, so here’s an extra equation for you to work it out
118

I’m myself not a huge fan of calculus, and certainly don’t expect people who even love the subject to know all the rules by heart. But this particular one I’m sure all of you have enjoyed using for it’s simplicity.

Nicely worked out by Mridul, John, Rahul and Appu. Part points to Nithin and Mayura.
