All’s quiet…

Yeah, it’s been a very quiet week for this blog. One, I didn’t receive a single response for my last quiz . Contrary to the intentions of the two track quizzing, the last two questions went uncracked. 

Secondly, it’s been a very hectic week for me with work starting at 9:30 a.m. and ending somewhere around 10 p.m. almost everyday. Add to that, I have some exams coming for me in the last week of September and I desperarely need to get started with the preparations. But till now, it’s only been 4-5 lines a night before I doze off everytime. Bummer!

So anyhoo, let me reveal the answers for the last two questions :-

1. The words “Ecce Homo” would be the right answer for this one. Meaning “Behold The Man”, these were the words used by Pontius Pilate when he presented Jesus Christ to the people for crucifixion. The first pic is a painting depicting the same by Quentin Matsys. The second pic is a portrait of Friedrich Nietzsche by Edvard Munch. Ecce Homo is the title of the last book written by Nietzsche. And finally, Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) makes an appearance in the connect because Ecce Homo is the title theme of the series, Mr. Bean (non-animated one, of course).

2. Blistering barnacles!, someone should have cracked this. Is an “old chestnut”. These are the flags of the fictitous countries appearing in the Adventures of Tintin series. In order – Syldavia, San Theodoros and Borduria.

20 points to the quiz master. <clap><clap>

 

Now to the next two questions of this series. In my opinion, both of these are reasonably easy. Hoping for some cracks this time.

1. Connect (full story please)

2. Connect again. The following have collaborated to do something which is a first in India. (have deliberately shaded some portions)
