My version of a Quiz

[Aravind Reghunathan]

I think they have forgotten about Google Quiz!!So here is my humble attempt to  pack a quiz on my own.i know the difficulty level is very low n i dont know how it will turn out to be:).If there is any flaw in the question please let me know..anyway here is my version of a Google quiz:

1.Why is the book 'Mathematics and the Imagination' so related to Google history?
HINT:This is written by Edward Cusnor and James Newman(That is really a hint,na?)

2.The Company called Keyhole Inc was acquired by Google in 2004,soon after it developed an innovative product.As the case with many other Google products,this too was an instant hit, but in another name.How do we know that product now?

3.He is the author of the New York Times bestseller ' The Bureau and the Mole', a critically acclaimed account of the betrayals of FBI double agent Robert Hanssen.This former Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The Washington Post was in news sometime ago for his highly successful work 'The Google Story' which captured Google's spectacular rise.Who am I talking about?

 

4.We all know that 'Do No Evil' is the corporate mantra of Google.The employees of Google spend their leisure time in office quite purposefully.Which product,with the slogan ' Who do you know',was the result of this purposeful leisure time spending?
