Hi All,

   Apologies for the spam...looks like the previous mail didn't have the images right. Hence I am attaching the images to this mail.

   An online google group has been started for the aigs quiz club. All are invited to join. The link to the group is:

http://groups.google.com/group/trishna_ucsd

We plan to have monthly/fortnightly meetings to conduct quizzes inspired by the successful India quiz in honour of the 62nd Indian Independence day held on Saturday. We also plan to post weekly or more frequent online quizzes where any member of the group can post questions on the group. We hope members post quizzes with only 3 or more questions.

 So here goes the first online quiz. The answers will be given in 3 days time (Thursday night) on the google group. 

 

1.) Connect the following:

1. Mrs Savitri Khanolankar (born Eva Yuonne Linda Maday-de-Maros to a Hungarian father and Russian mother) who was married to an Indian Army officer. Eva married Capt. Vikram Khanolkar,a Sandhurst graduate who joined the Sikh regiment. Eva thus became Savitri Khanolkar at the age of 15 -- her husband was 27 then.Savitri studied Hindi and Sanskri at the Patna University. She delved deep into the Vedanta and later became a follower of Ramakrishna

2. Rishi Dadich who donated his thigh bones to gods for making Vajra

3. Shivaji's sword Bhawani 

(very google-able. Please try guessing all answers without google's help.)

2.) Why is the Nepalese Flag so oddly shaped.

3.) What is a hand with a pair of 8's in a game of Texas Hold'em poker called? (Hint : James Bond)

4.) This pic from real life inspired what?

5.) Connect:
