Quizzes and connections

When in IIT, the most amusing event used to be the main quiz. It was not too different from a class, where only the front benchers (the participants) seemed to know what the quiz master was talking about. Audience were usually as ignorant as my friend Somu is ignorant about the basic facts of errr... life!! :)

The questions that used to fascinate me most were the Connects. Connect the Incas of Machu Pichu with John Abraham's left nostril, connect Govinda's attire in Bhikhari no 1 with Bill Gate's secretary's hair color. These used to be the kinda connects that we came across. The answers used to be equally vague, for example, the answer for the first one could be that John Abraham pierced his left nostril with the same instrument that was used by a priest of Xichualand to shave is hair, and he probably would hv smuggled this instrument from his travels to the mountains of Peru where the Incas lived!!! Huh!!!!!

These kinda Q/A's used to set me thinking about possible connect questions:

Connect the Wizard of Oz to Manisha Koirala!!
In the story Wizard of Oz Dorothy gets blown away to Oz when Kansas city is enveloped in a huge twister--> Twister is a movie by Jan de Bont-> who also directed the movie Speed-> Speed stares Keanu Reeves-> Who stars in Matrix-> Matrix in Math reminds us of Kramer's rule for solving equations->Kramer, of course, reminds us of a famous movie called Kramer v/s Kramer->which was remade in Hindi with the name Akele Hum Akele Tum-> which stars Manisha Koirala in a lead role. Connection completed!!! :D

Connect Pamela Anderson to the James Watt:
This connection gives the listener a major shock->shocks are usually caused by electricity and is measured in Volts-> when the product of voltage and current is taken, power is obtained whose unit is Watt :) One more circuit... oops.... connection completed!! :)
