Question - 483


Connect.

Answer: The connect is Saki. It was the pen name of the brilliant H. H. Munro (bottom right) and supposedly referred to the cupbearer in the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (top right). It may also refer to a South American primate of the same name (left). Ramji, Dinesh, Mekie, Arvind, Adi, and Karthik got it.

Saki. The Saki monkey, H.H. Munro's nickname was Saki. The cup-bearer in the rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam was named Saki.

Saki - the monkey is a type called the Saki monkey. The bottom right is H.H.Munroe who wrote under the pen name Saki which he took from the name of the cup bearer in Omar Khayyam's Rubaiyat. Saki's "The open window" is an all-time favorite of mine.
