Question - 169

Connect the lady in the top two visuals to the visual on the top right. The visual in the bottom is somewhat tangentially related to those in the top three. Identify that one as well.

Answer: The lady is Patty Hearst, the granddaughter of William Randolph Hearst who was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) whose symbol is in the far right. In what is considered a case of Stockholm syndrome, Hearst turned sympathetic to SLA's motives and robbed banks with them (first visual). Her prison sentence was commuted by Carter and she was granted a presidential pardon by Clinton. The visual at the bottom is from the movie Network which spoofs the media drama surrounding the Hearst kidnapping. Iam, Rajeev , Hirak and Manix got it. Well done. A picture of Orson Welles at the bottom as Rajeev suggested would have been a nice radial connect (Patty Hearst is the granddaughter of William Randolph Hearst who was famously played by Welles in Citizen Kane).

Question - 168

The discovery shown in visual 1 (top left) was so immense it was introduced in the case argued by the two gents in the bottom left, it caused the work of the man in the top right to be greeted with much skepticism and was used in a seminal book by the founder of the organization whose logo is shown in the bottom right. Identify the discovery and all the visuals.

Answer: The discovery is the Piltdown man, one of the biggest scientific hoaxes ever. It was so influential (partly because it was discovered in Eurasia and it was a comforting feeling to many that mankind's origins were there and not in Africa) that real discoveries such as Raymond Dart's Taung Child (top right) were ridiculed for not being in accordance with it. Clarence Darrow used it as evidence in the Scopes monkey trial (bottom left) some 10 years before the hoax was exposed and L. Ron Hubbard (bottom right is the logo of scientology) used it in his "influential" Scientology: A History of Man. Despite being up for 2 days, Hirak was the only one to attempt and crack this. Bravo.

Read their comments for more details. Well done.

Question - 154

Answer: Will Shortz, the crossword creator/solver extraordinaire. Raghu, Iam, Anshul, Hirak, Rajesh and Swapnaa got it. Well done.

Question - 151

Connect the map on the left to the visuals on the right.

Answer: The connect is the Iditarod trail Sled dog race which commemorates the courageous 1925 serum run to Nome. The map shows the trail, the statue is that of Balto, a sled dog who delivered the serum in the last leg of the journey and Todd Palin is a 4-time champion of the Tesoro Iron dog competition the route of which follows large parts of the trail. Maybe the Palin connect is a bit of a stretch and it pushed a lot of people in slightly wrong directions. Apologies for that. Also, another perfectly valid Todd Palin connect would have been that the race originated in Wasilla which is where the Palins are from. Swapnaa, Raghu and Rajesh were bang on while Sinndhuja, Arvind, Divya and Iam were thereabouts. Well done.

Question - 150

Question - 148

Person in visual 1 took the things in visual 2 from the person in visual 3. Something immortal (not metaphorically speaking, literally immortal) was born and there have been suggestions that this immortal being be named after the person in visual 4. Identify all.

Answer: George Otto Gey took the so called HeLa cells from Henrietta Lacks, a cancer victim. These cells were the first human cells which were observed to proliferate rapidly (well past the Hayflick limit) outside the human body. This is supposedly due to the active presence of the enzyme telomerase in these cells. For reasons I don't quite understand, these cells possess a different number of chromosomes from normal human cells and so it has been suggested that they form a new immortal species and that it should be named after Stanley Gartler who has done a lot of work in this area. Mekie, Arvind, Raghu and Anshul got it. Well done.

Question - 139

These two novels are prime examples of what genre of speculative fiction? The question is a bit obscure and so, not much has been blanked out from the visuals.

Answer: The novels are The man in the high castle by Philip K. Dick and Ada or Ardor by Vladimir Nabakov. They both deal with alternate history scenarios - Dick's work speculates on what would have happened had the axis powers won WWII and Nabakov speculates on what would have happened had Tsarist Russia prevailed. Actually, the connect is a bit deeper. In both novels, there is a novel within the novel which itself is an alternate history novel. For example, Dick's novel has a novel called the The Grasshopper lies heavy which speculates on what would have happened had the Allies won WWII. So, I was hoping somebody would go for alternate alternate history. But Iam, Mekie, Manix, Harish and Adi all contended themselves with alternate history. Well done.

Question - 138

Question - 135

Today's question is from Swapnaa and I. All visuals connect to a person (in different ways). Identify the person and the connects. Update: 0 tries so far which means the question stays up for another day with hints. The mask visual and the black and white visual are clues to two movies (in fact by the same director), the wigged person in the middle is a composer, the person below was the CEO and later chairman of a huge multinational company (his connect to the person in question might be an urban legend, albeit a popular one). I might have botched Swapnaa's idea for this question beyond recognition and in the process made it too hard. Apologies.

Answer: The visuals are as follows: The mask is the one Tom Cruise wears in "Eyes Wide Shut". The composer is Haydn. The businessman is Norio Ohga, chairman of Sony, the second movie is "A Clockwork Orange" and the flag is that of the European union. The person that connects these is Beethoven. The connects are: 1) the password to the famous orgy scene in Eyes Wide Shut is Fidelio, Beethoven's only opera, 2) Haydn was Beethoven's teacher, 3) Legend has it that Ohga insisted that the newly developed compact disc be able to hold all of Beethoven's 9th symphony which ran for 74 minutes, 4) the lead character in Clockwork Orange is a huge Beethoven fan and there are countless references to Beethoven and his music throughout the movie, 5) the anthem of the European union is "Ode to Joy", a part of Beethoven's 9th symphony. Incidentally, December 16th was Beethoven's 238th birthday. Rahul Trivedi and Raghu got this one. Well done.

Question -134

The two maps are from two different eras and represent different things and are obviously correlated. Identify them and the reason for the correlation. This question is courtesy Manix.

Answer: The first visual shows in blue the counties that voted for Barack Obama in the recent presidential elections while the second shows the production of cotton in the same areas from the Civil war area.

Answer: The photos show the effect of hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic during 1921-1923. The first visual shows a woman burning banknotes because it was a cheaper option than buying firewood with them. The second visual is that of a man sweeping away currency notes because they were literally worthless. Swapnaa+Madhu and QoD got it completely right. Well done.

Question - 124

Whose statue? More importantly, where is it located?

Answer: The statue is that of Lenin and is located at the pole of inaccessibility (the farthest point in Antarctica from the Southern ocean.

Well done.

Question - 123

Identify the man in the first two visuals. The third visual is meant to be a clue and shows an application of the theories developed by him.
