  • 12.  Only Connect is a BBC quiz show based on finding connections between seemingly unrelated clues. The final buzzer round is named Missing Vowels, where the teams are given words or phrases with the vowels removed and the spaces shifted to disguise the original words. In the first match of Series 3, one of the topics in this round was French Phrases in English, which surprisingly had the same question presented twice in the exact same form. This also prompted the host Victoria Coren to ask if the teams liked the joke.  Which phrase was used twice in the round?

  • 16.  They are classified on the basis of their shape into 2 groups tabular and non-tabular.  The tabular variety have steep sides and a flat top, like a plateau, with a length-to-height ratio of more than 5:1. The non-tabular ones come in different shapes like dome, pinnacle, wedge and blocky.

  • 22.  From the introduction of a 1939 novel: “The numerals caused plenty of trouble, none between six and thirty were available. When introducing young ladies into the story, this is a real barrier; for what young woman wants to have it known that she is over thirty? And this restriction on numbers, of course taboos all mention of dates.”  Which novel? OR Why were these numbers not available for use?
  • 24.  In typography, a coincidental alignment of spaces can cause gaps in the type. Most noticeable with justification or monospaced fonts, they can also result from the close repetition of a long word or similar words at regular intervals.   What are these gaps called? A cluster of these adjacent gaps can create a lighter area within a block of type. What are these areas called?  (1 point each)
  • 26.  This magazine cover depicts how a glove was used to make the vital intervention in a 1963 incident.  Which incident?
  • 28.  There are 2 schools of thought on this issue, and the resolution of the contradiction between the two was based on this classification in Bharata’s ‘Natyashastra’ - Atihasita, Apahasita, Upahasita, Vihasita, Hasita and Sita. One group believes in Sita (if at all), while the second one advocates the occurrence of the other extreme at a certain pivotal moment, their argument supported by multiple tales. The most famous representation of the theory proposed by this second group is a 10th century wanderer with a name meaning ‘linen sack’.  What was the point of conflict between the 2 groups? OR How do we better know this traveller?
  • 30.  Space constraints in many countries have prompted the construction of buildings such as the Memorial Ecumenica in Santos, Brazil.
