This is a more general quizza with toppings of Trivia that you have either observed in your life or are surrounded with entities that we take for granted , or use without knowing its source. Some side orders that you will find with this quizza are historical trivia. As they say , eating slowly and enjoying your food helps digestion and your health. Similarly with this quizza, read slowly, think about the answers (bcos u know them) , digest them and have fun :) ...
5,4,3,2,1 .... Quiz Off!
1. It was 1949, a project known as MX981 took place at Edwards Air Force base for the purpose of testing human tolerance for g-forces during rapid deceleration. The tests used a rocket sled mounted on a railroad track with a series of hydraulic brakes at the end. Initial tests used a crash test dummy strapped to the seat of the sled but later tests were performed by Air Force Captain Paul Stapp. During the tests, questions were asked about the accuracy of the instrumentation. Edward, who was in charge of the measurement devices, suggested improvements which again provided an incorrect sensor reading due to faulty wiring. Exasperated and extremely irritated, Ed then made a profound pronouncement. What was it?
Clue : Well known phrase / concept used in the world today :)
2. This database originated from two lists that started as independent projects in early 1989 by participants in the usenet newsgroup rec.arts.movies. In each case, a single maintainer recorded items emailed by newsgroup readers, and posted updated versions of his list from time to time. It began with a posting titled "Those Eyes", on the subject of actresses with beautiful eyes. The size of the repeated posting grew far beyond a normal newsgroup article and it soon became known simply as "The List". How do we know "The List" today?
3. Trashti, the Vulcan of hindu Mythology took the following items and mixed them in a specific ratio to create something. What did he create with all these? Lightnesss of the leaf , Gaiety of the sun’s rays , Tears of the mist , The inconsistency of the peacock, the softness of a ‘swallows throat’, the harshness of the diamond , the cruelty of the tiger, the warmth of the fire and affection of a turtle dove.
Atleast half the people in the world will like the answer! ;)
4. Recently there was a list of top 100 movies of the last Century (from all over the world ) that was released by experts in conjunction with the TIME Magazine. 3 Indian movies made it to the list. 2 of them were ‘The Apu Trilogy’ by Satyajit Ray and ‘Pyaasa’ by Guru Dutt. What was the third movie?
5. This term was introduced in World War II to describe the destruction of an area equal to 2 football fields by bombers of the Allied Force. This term was later used as a synonym for 'impact' and today is more propular in other fields too. [Clue: U might be within 3-4 miles range of this].
What is the term?
6. Ernest Beaux was asked to create 6 different samples each with a different formula. He used a very expensive distilling process (used to extract jasmine) to produce one of them. To it he added coal tar, formaldehydes, plant oil, rose and most importantly the glands of the animal ‘civet’. The owner rejected all bottles except one for mass production. What was that 1 bottle that became a big hit with the rich (mostly)?
7. It began as a tool in Europe to help a group of physicists obtain knowledge and answer tough questions about the universe. The first one in the US was created and installed in the Stanford Linear Accelarator Center in 1992. This person
created the first of its kind and Robert Cailliau became the first person to use it.
It's website was put at http://info.%20cern,ch/
What am I talking about?
8. Remember your chemistry?
If you notice, the structure on top is similar to the pic below. And they both represent different compounds. Now, the structure on the right is that of adenosine (ATP – Powercell of the body). The two compounds are so structurally similar that they confuse the nerve cell which then allows only one of them to bind to its adenosine receptors. Depending on who wins the slot often makes that crucial difference in the afternoons.
Simple Question: What is the compound on top?
9. Ha, Let's test your observation!
The game " American football" (stylized rugby ) is usually a mixture of running, throwing , pouncing on somebody etc with a not so significant use of the legs. Why is it called "football" then, when actually "soccer" should ideally be called football ( as it is usually done in Asia).
10. Identify X & Y.
X studied at Maharaja’s college, Mysore majoring in Politics, Economics and Philosophy. After graduation, he arrived at Delhi to find a job. The Hindustan Times told him he was too young and that he should start with provincial papers. The Free Press Journal in Bombay gave him a break. On his first day at the job, he was seated next to Y who was furiously sketching a bird in a cage. After introduction, X thought “Is Y an Indian name?” The only similar name he had heard was of William Makepeace ….
X didn’t last long at the Free Press Journal. One day, the proprietor banned him from making fun of the communists. He left, caught a train and walked into the Times of India Office. The rest, as they say, is history.

Have fun with this quiz and post your answers! We will be back in 10 days with another quiz post to titillate your grey cells.

[Answers] Beautiful Minds
... and here it is folks, some Beautiful answers to the quiz on Beautiful Minds :). Hope u guys had fun solving the quiz or maybe it was too easy. Ok, time for you to be introduced to the legends.
Tip : Subscribe to the RSS Feed provided so that you will be notified of a new quiz / entry the moment it is updated :)
2. Author : Agatha Christie. The play : ' The MouseTrap'
The '3 Blind Mice' must have been an ample clue :)). Its still running in some theatre in West London. Oh, my!!
Based on a true story, Agatha Christie requested that the book-version not be published not a film adaptation be done until the theatre version runs and hence the historical run... The name 'MouseTrap' incidentally came to Agatha Christie based on a character's answer to a kind in the Shakespeare's play of Hamlet.
3. Ah, some more info before the answer. In the 1920s a lot of movies and animations were silent and this person was tryign to introduce sound into his movies as the next big thing. Although he was beaten in the race to introduce sound, he became one among the first to introduce sound in aninmations movies. Yes, u guessed it , it was 'Walt Disney'
His pet project was the musical 'Fantasia' - Disney's successfull attempt to bring back the popularity of his favorite character Mickey Mouse after his popularity went down in the late 1930s to other characters like Donald Duck, Goofy.
There are no dialogues in this movie, and the sound effects used were called 'Fanta sound'. Hence the Oscilattors from HP :)
4. Here are the answers to the algaebraic equation. This was a sitter, once u identified that the monument built to commemorate soldiers of WW I was India Gate. If u didnt, u need to redo ur history books!!
A = Edwin Lutyens (Architect of Chandigarh / Rashtrapathi Bhavan)
X = Rashtrapathi Bhavan, ofcourse!
Y = India Gate
5. X = Charles Darwin.
Charles Darwin had the chance to visit the now popular 'Galapagos Islands' where his scientific observations and measurements led to the defining 'Theory of Evolution'. Galapagos is famous for its rich diversity in fauna.
Also, supposedly the only place on the equator where u can find penguins!
6. Ok, this is a good one.
While the World War victory parade was scheduled to be made the first televised Color program in the world, a few days before the parade the inventor of Television : John Logie Baird passed away. To honor him for his lovely invention, they decided to televise his funeral as the first ever color television program :).. nice, eh!
7. The Florence Nightingale Oath.
"The Lady with the Lamp", who gave up her riches and upper class status to go and work with the poor and served as a nurse in the Crimean War tending to the injured. She also co-wrote the Royal Commission on the health of the army and brought about changes to medical amenities to soldiers. France honored by naming a city after her - "Florence". Her work 'Notes on Nursing' went on to inspire many women to take to a career of nursing.
Here is an illustration..
8. Ok, Story Time!!
President Theodore Roosevelt was on a hunting expedition and he was unable to hunt down any deer or other animal. Just before the end of the day , his troops caught hold of an harmless , unprotected bear cub whose mother had died and tied it , for Roosevelt to shoot. Roosevelt immedietely ordered the Bear to be released taking pity on its situation.
This made news praising Roosevelt's show of kindness. Well, now President Roosevelt was called 'Teddy' (simplified name for Theodore, i guess!). In a few days a particualr paper came out with this cartoon which depicted the president's refusal to hunt the bear cub.
The paper named it 'Teddy's Bear'! And thats how the 'Teddy Bear' first got its name. Soon after A shop owner in Brooklyn , got the idea of a new toy and based it on the paper's illustration and called it the 'Teddy Bear Toy'.......and then for generations children have been troubling their parents to get them one.
The picture put up in the quiz was the later-modified. Here is the original
9. Another sitter.
"Harry Houdini" the world's greatest escape artist and an inspiration for all magicians of the current era [ David Copperfield / PC Sirkar / Chris Angel etc..]. His 'Chinese Water torture cell' made news all over the world. Arthur Conan Doyle believed that he was a medium , who can dematerialize in 1 place and materialize in another.
Here is a classic pic of him bound in chains:
10. We had to end with the Most Beautiful Mind the world has seen in the last few centuries..
- None other than Mahatma Gandhi!!
- F.D. Roosevelt was the other runner up.
Hope u had fun going through the answers. Please be the "Beautiful hands" and send us feedback :).
Another quiz coming up in 4 days!! Till then, chao..

Satyamave Jayate!.... But guessing also works! :)
We are going to take you on a tour of a place that Mark Twain said ".... is, the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother of tradition." - Ofcourse u guessed rt, - Our own Mother India! :)
.. Irrespective, if you are in Tanjore, Noida , Nairobi , Berlin, Seattle or Adelaide you will surely enjoy this quiz which inclines a little towards Indian History & Mythology - both subjects that are magical and downright fascinating!
Like always, the goal is to make most questions guessable, to render a story and provide interesting insight. Give it a shot and let us know what you think.
1. In medieval India, when the Rajputs were fighting off Muslim invasion, Rani Karnawati, the widow of the King of Chittor, was in distress, as the Sultan of Gujarat (Bahadur Shah) launched an attack on Chittor. In order to save the city, she asked for help from Humayun and sent a “X” to him. Humayun, touched by the gesture, sent his troops to save Chittor. Time was short and they arrived late, and by then, Rani Karnawati and the women of Chittor had tragically commited Jauhar (mass suicide).
What is "X"?
2. A question on our un-official national sport …
Many remember the legendary "Shardashram vs Xavier's" Harris Shield school match as part of cricketing folklore, the emergence of teenage geniuses. Tendulkar and Kambli's mammoth 664 run un-beaten partnership for Shardashram set the stadium alight. Few would remember, however, that donning his pads and waiting impatiently for his turn to bat for one and a half days was yet another precocious talent. A 13 year old then, he went on to play for India. I'll give you the answer to this one, it was Amol Mazumdar. Interestingly enough, the captain of the opressed St. Xavier's team, the lead bowler on their side, also went on to play for India. So, Who was he (the bowler/captain)?
3. In Hinduism, this represents the 2 forms of Brahma. Facing right, it represents the evolution of the universe and facing left, it represents the involution. It is also said to represent the sun’s rays, without which there would be no life. In Buddism, it represents Dharma, universal harmony and balance of opposites. Jainism probably gives this the most prominence as it is considered one of the 24 auspicious marks and almost all ceremonies typically begin and end by creating this. What is ‘this’?
4. The casting for roles in one of India's biggest movie hit was pretty convoluted and just as filmi. Actor 'X' wanted to play a certain character in the movie. The director informed him that if he did that he wouldn't get the heroine (in the movie) and actor 'Y' would. Apparently, X was in love (real-life) with the actress playing the heroine and actor 'Y' was "also" in love with her and had in fact, proposed marriage to her before the movie (She was yet to make up her mind). With the director's help and some back-room politics, 'X' pushed 'Y' out of the role and 'Y' eventually played the role 'X' was supposed to play, and the rest, as they say, is history.
X/Y?
5. As legend goes, Bappa Rawal (born as Prince Kalboj) was a teenager in hiding. He came across a warrior saint (Guru Gorakhnath) while on a hunting expedition in the jungles of Rajasthan. Bappa decided to stay behind and care for the saint who was in meditation. When the saint woke up, he gave Bappa a kukri (knife) and he told him that he and his people would henceforth be called X. Deemed a martial race by the British, what is X?
6. This food-item is said to be popularized by Mughal Empress Nur Jehan. As natural elements were used as cosmetics, Nur Jehan, during her experimentation, discovered that adding a few ingredients to this food-item gave a beautiful natural color to the lips of those eating it. How do we know the food-item today?
7. In 1905, Lala Hardayal, a freedom fighter, who eventually founded the Gadar party, was a student in Lahore's Government College and he invited his Literature Professor to preside over a function. The professor, instead of delivering a speech, sang a patriotic poem that he had originally penned for children in the Ghazal style of Urdu Poetry. The poem gained in popularity with every passing year and is now the official march of the Indian Armed Forces. Which poem?
8. This was first attested to in the Kali Santarana Upanishad, when Narada is instructed by Brahma. *Rough translation follows+ “Learning the Vedas, one can cross Samsara of Kali only by uttering a name of Lord Narayana”. Narada asks to be told this name of Narayana and Brahma replies with 16 words and says “These 16 words are destructive of the evil effects of Kali. No better means to be seen this than in the Vedas”. What were those 16 words?
9. During the British Rule in India , British officers hit upon a idea of mining systematically in a certain part of India inspired by initial tests from scientists. To speed up the process, they encouraged their laborers by chanting a slogan/phrase/group of words that eventually became the name of that place. What is this place / slogan ?
10. The earliest account of this comes from Arab Traveller, Ibn Batuta, who saw this in 1346 enroute to Hangzhou, in China. Andrew Mullen, a physicist from Univ of Manchester tried to work this out. It was proved that you could keep a stick resting vertically on your hand by moving your palm of your hand rapidly up-and-down instead of side-to-side. Supposing, you were to get two sticks and link them with a metal loop, once again you can have them stand vertically by moving your palm up and down fast enough while moving through a distance short enough. What was he trying to explain?
(Hint: This is an India Quiz J)
We hope, you enjoyed the questions. We promise, that the answers are even better :) Good luck and happy quizzing !!

[Answers] Getting off the mark
Apologies for the delay, Folks. The quiz was well cracked and well received overall. Bunch of attempts made their way into our mailboxes as opposed to the blog :) We’ve enabled anonymous answering option on the blog, that should make it easier to post a comment. Similar to side dishes that enhance your meal in restaurants, at quizzahut we serve our quizza-answers with a side dish of history, sprinkling of explanation and other information that will make your experience of quizzahut more pleasing. So, without any further delay, the answers –
1. April Fool’s Day. Turned out to be the sitter of the quiz :)
History: In 1564, Charles IX the then king of France changed the New year from the 1st of April to the 1st of January. Many people did NOT believe this change and refused to follow this. Such people were referred to as April Fools since they followed the old custom of celebrating April 1st as the New Year. Hence the term 'April Fools Day'
2. The Mastermind Quiz Contest. It was hosted in the UK by Magnus Magnusson (‘I’ve started so I’ll finish’ fame) and in India, by the inimitable Siddhartha Basu.
History: Bill Wright the person who devised the quiz show was a war veteran who was imprisoned as a POW and interrogated by the Gestapo during World War II. This experience involved being put on a chair with the light on him and being bombarded with questions, a style that has become the signature of Mastermind Quiz shows!
3. X = Uncle Pai, Y = Amar Chitra Katha. Amar Chitra Katha was the premier source of Hindu Mythology knowledge for most folks of our ‘generation’. This question, interestingly, received a few ‘Mastermind’ answers.
4. Tetris. S-Z pieces were a give away.
Picture : Here is a snapshot from the game where the pieces look like S and Z.

5. The Laughing Buddha – ‘Smiling, Laughing Face’ was a humongous hint.

6. Chyawanprash :) Chawan Rishi was the creator.
Thanks to our mothers who fed us in our childhood (or force fed) in some cases :). This Rishi's transformation into a handsome youth was the inspiration behind the ayurvedic medicine being named "Chyawanprash"
7. Fido-Dido. Fizzled out as an icon initially, was revived. Strands of hair, Pepsi-co were huge hints.
8. Typewriter :) Would you believe it!!
9. All were once sports in the Olympics and were snubbed out.
Cricket, oh yeah was played in 1900. England beat France for the cricket Gold. The French team essentially comprised of English expatriates :)
10. Wedding Ring. Maybe we should store half the wealth in your wedding ring then? ;)
Hope, you guys enjoyed the quiz. We’ll keep the quizzes going. Thanks for taking the time to read and keep the feedback flowing.

Beautiful Minds
This quiz is a tribute to all the discoverers , architects , artists , authors and conceivers of an idea so beautiful or important that it allowed man to experience a new paradigm of living. They shaped the future, they shaped our world as it stands today. It is in honour of such extraordinary men & women that we present this quiz on 'Beautiful Minds'.
As usual the answers will be available after a week. Close answers will be pointed out and you can expect clues after a few comments. We highly encourage you to post the answers as comments :). Any/All suggestions welcome!
2. The condition to publish this short story as a book was that, the book could be published only when the theatrical performance of the story was finished running in a theatre and NOT replayed for 6 months. Following that condition, the short story has NOT been published yet. The short story started as a radio broadcast program in honor of Queen Mary, wife of King George V. The original name of this short story ("The 3 blind mice") was disputed as NOT being original and hence the name was changed to B. It was originally written as a birthday present for Queen Mary on her 80th Birthday. Identify this not-yet-published book B , that has become world famous by its theatrical version! :)
3. In 1938 Dave Packard and Bill Hewlett [Yes, Hewlett & Packard] released their first product called a RESISTANCE-CAPACITY AUDIO OSCILLATOR which tests sound equipments. This person ‘J’ was trying to make a big difference in his field using sound equipments. When he heard of this product he became the first customer of this product and he used it for his pet project ‘K’. Identify J & K!!
4. The story of 2 good friends who became foes goes like this. We shall call them A & B . This will seem a bit like solving an algaebraic equation.
'A' was the person given the responsibility of building 'X' where the Ruler of the Country would reside. To complement the place another monument 'Y' at the end of the same road was to be built in commemaration of soldiers who died in WW I, such that both buildings could be seen from each other. 'A' trusted the construction of the commemorative monument to his good friend 'B' while he got involved in X. Although 'X' & 'Y' were built fine and according to design, due to a severe miscommunication, the height of the road between them was not accounted for and the heights of the buildings 'X' & 'Y' were such that, one could NOT be seen from the other due to the crest in the road. 'A' & B had a long altercation (for the rest of their lives) and became foes.
Your job is simple! Identify A, X & Y !! :)
5. Robert Fitzroy was conscious of how unforgiving the sea was, extended periods of sea-voyage could disturb the sanest of minds. He knew what caused Captain Stokes & his uncle Viscount Castlereagh to commit suicide. So, for this next voyage, he approached Beautfort and asked him to find a suitable gentleman who would share his scientific tastes and provide him good companionship. Many of those who were first approached turned down Fitzroy’s offer and Fitzroy finally approved an eager ‘X’ for the position. X?
6. The first official color program of the United States was scheduled to be the Victory Parade of World-War II on a particular date. But a couple of days before the parade another incident happened and it was decided that the unprecedented / unique event should be the first color televised program. What was that incident that led to it being a well-deserved first color program.
Clue : It is about Beautiful Minds :)
7. If Doctor's take the Hippocrate's Oath, what oath do nurses take?
8.
This picture depicts an incident that inspired the creation of something that is probably the fantasy of most children for a companion. You might have had one too? What is the incident and what was the inspiration?
9. His public appearance was at the age of 10 as a trapeze artist and he called himself the "The Prince of Air". He performed card tricks and worked in a circus until he met his manager who asked him to concentrate on X [specifying X would be a give-away] which would become his forte. The "Milk Can" , the " Suspended Straightjacket" were some of his famous performances and many were performed across Europe and USA. A close friend of Arthur Conan Doyle once, they broke their friendship when he ridiculed "Spiritualism" which Arthur C. Doyle firmly believed in. Ironically, ever year seances are held to contact him through spirits and learn his trade secrets. Who was this dynamic person who was also a very well known Ghost-buster!
10. At the end of the 20th century (which you would realize wasn't too long ago :)), Time magazine compiled a list honoring the greatest individual contributors of the century in different fields. Albert Einstein was chosen as the overall 'Person of the Century' while two people from a different field were named runner-ups. Who were they?
........ I am sure as you read this you are filled with curiosity and a respect for these great people, and of course you want to know who these are!! The answers will be available in a week :).

Getting off the mark..
This is Viv & P3 (We are actually androids disguised as quizmasters) welcoming you to our first of many blog entries that are going to be peppered with fun quizzes , a lot of trivia , puzzles, reviews and stuff that we want to surprise ourselves with....
We strongly believe quizzing is for everybody and we want to clear the myth and correct the notion that quizzes are only for people who get married to books, always attend quizzes and remember weird-insignificant pieces of information. Quizzing is the art of identifying yourself with your environment, your world and your history. And the way we want to do that is by framing questions that are enjoyable to read, making most questions highly guessable & workable and hoping that on reading the answers, you would say "Oh, wow! I didnt know that!".
If you like racking your head to solve something and your hunger for quizzes & puzzles never dimnishes, this is the resort you need to visit often. No booking required, no travelling needed and totally free. :)
So, without further ado ... We present the first quiz of QuizzaHut. [Answers in about a week] - Remember most answers are workable!! Starting with a question about the "New Year Day"!
1. In 1562, when the New Year day was changed from a certain date to January 1st , in France there were a lot of people who were not informed and some who just did NOT believe it. This gave rise to a new term/ phrase that was applied to those people (to ridicule them) that we still use today. What is it?
2. William Wright, a Royal Air Force gunner of World-War II started X and based this upon his experience as a POW in Germany. Specifically, what he designed was based on the ‘interrogation techniques’ he faced and the way he was interrogated. The first edition of X was aired on BBC in 1972 at Liverpool University. In India, it was held in different heritage sites. What is X?
3. X was watching a quiz contest being aired on Doordarshan in February 1967 and was appalled to see contestants answer complex questions pertaining to greek mythology but floundering when asked simple questions related to Hindu Myth, one of the questions being "Who was Rama’s Mother?". He decided to do something about this, he immediately quit his job and started Y as a consequence. X/Y?
4. Would it be possible to play forever in the game? Multiple thesis and investigations later, it was concluded that a player is inevitably doomed to lose if there were a continuous sequence of S pieces followed by a torrent of Z pieces and a perfect random number generator would eventually produce this sequence. To combat this, it was decided in 2001, that the random number generator used to produce this pieces would be tweaked and made ‘less random’ (pseudo) so as to never produce the fatal S-Z sequence and hence, in theory, let a player play forever. Which game?
5. He is an interpretation of the Bodhisattva Maitreya, the predicted Buddha to succeed Gautam Buddha in the future. He is now an integral part of Buddhist, Taoist and Shinto culture and is said to be based on an eccentric Chinese Zen Monk who lived during the time of the Liang Dynasty. His smiling, often laughing image graces many temples, restaurants, amulets and businesses. Who?
6. It is said that when this sage/Rishi was young and meditating he was covered by an ant-hill. The princess of the kingdom playing nearby thought there was something funny with the ant-hill and poked it to accidentally blind the sage. As a compensation she became his wife to take care of him. After a few years when he asked her to request a boon, she said she wanted him [her husband] to become young and regain sight. So this sage meditated and took the help of Ashwini Twins [2 Special Devas]. Then … [blah – blah – blah happened] and the ashwini Twins parted with a special secret with the help of which the Rishi set out to create X. This in turn gave youth and good health to the rishi.
Now this X took his name and is a very popular item in India and am sure most of us have encountered it back in India [Did we give it away :-) ??]. Identify the Rishi and consequently X.
7. He came to life on a napkin illustration in a restaurant in 1985. When Susan Rose first sketched him, he needed just 15 lines inclusive of an un-complicated triangular head and a few strands of scary of hair. She was perhaps saying ‘You are what you are and what you are is okay’. He was then licensed to Pepsi-co in the 80s and was dormant until the 90s where he really took off featuring on brands and merchandise alike. Who was he?
8. What is the longest word that can be typed using only the letters in the top most row of a typewriter? [ maybe computer keyboard too ..]
9. What is common to the following sports? Rugby, Golf, Lacrosse, Cricket and Tug of War.
10. By Law, a Bankrupt person can be asked to sell anything by his creditors , to pay up his loans or debt except for 1 thing. What is that 1 thing, no one can ask him to sell or take possession of?
So go ahead and throw your darts on the quizboard. They might land somewhere very near the answer and if so, subsequent posts/ comments will include more clues for you to inch closer to the answer(s).
Have a fantastic 2008 !! :)
