Five answers, and all correct! This is indeed Zynga, after whom her owner named his gaming organisation that gave us Farmville and more. And yes, that’s Mark Pincus, owner of both Zyngas.
Have been impressed by quite a few comic sites and internet memes lately. So here’s one for you guys.

Bit of a quiz-ception, this.

Nine answers, and all correct! This is indeed the Bournvita Quiz Contest, or BQC, for short!
The X, are often described as spiritual warriors, or warrior monks. Theirs is best described as a ‘post-modern religious movement’. According to the 2001 census of Australia, more than 70,000 people belong to this religion, and according to the census of New Zealand the same year, they outnumber the country’s Buddhist and Hindu population! The census of the same year in England and Wales saw nearly 400,000 of them register as following this ‘religion’, a number which surpasses the Sikhs and Buddhhists there!
Which religion am I talking about? Or simply, identify X, or what people wrote under the tab ‘Religion’ during the census in the above-mentioned countries.

Six answers, and all correct! X is indeed Jedi! Yes, those Star Wars people!
This one is for all those school students who visit this blog. But that does not mean that the bigger boys can’t answer.
Beautiful anti-corruption cartoon, and wonderfully drawn by the cartoonist. Kudos to him. Just identify the video game it is modelled on.

Eleven answers, and quite a few of them have the derivative of the original game. Look a little bit more carefully, folks. This is more of a tribute to Angry Birds than Angry Anna!
The list is looooooooooong, and I don’t want much. Just give me the names of the first two films.
Hint: The list will expand with time, of course, but the connection is a term that was first used and popularised in 2005.
Further hint: The term has something to do with the way I plug my opinion blog here.
And a special thanks to the person who directed me to this topic through one of his questions on a Facebook quizzing page.

Just four answers, and three correct! The list above is a complete collection, till date, of Hyperlink Cinema. The first two examples are a matter of pride for us---they are Indian!! They are Kanchenjungha and Titas Ekti Nadir Nam.
This is a very specific connect.
1. For those of you who can’t hear this, it’s the song Motumaster from Udaan.

3.
4. The busiest day of shopping in the USA since 2005, this specific day comes right after Thanksgiving, and often sees retailers opening their shops as early as 4am, and offering special discounts and deals, because it marks the beginning of shopping for Christmas.

Six answers, and only one went off the track, pointing towards Dawood Ibrahim, for some reason. All the others were right. This is indeed Anurag Kashyap. The song has him debuting as a singer, Shagird saw him as a full-time actor, as opposed to his small cameos and guest appearances earlier. Satya was a film he co-wrote.
The story goes that when, later, he went to the censor board with Paanch, they said that the film was not ‘constructive’. And that it had too much of rough language. Kashyap pointed out that he had written rougher dialogues for Satya, and it’s story wasn’t too ‘constructive’ either. Paanch, if I have heard correctly, is yet to see the light of the day.
As for the last clue, the day is named Black Friday, which also happens to be the name of one of Kashyap’s most critically-acclaimed and controversial films.
Another simple one.

Eleven answers, and all correct! This is indeed Usain Bolt’s false start at the World Athletics 2011. It got him disqualified, and started a heated debate about the new disqualification rules.
Apple and Samsung are engaged in several legal battles against each other in courts across at least nine countries. One of them is at the District Court for the Northern District of California, where Apple is trying to have four Samsung smartphones and tablets banned from the US due to alleged design patent infringement.
It was at this court that Samsung countered Apple’s allegations of it stealing from designs patented for the iPad with the argument that someone else had already designed an iPad-like device decades before the iLife giant.
Samsung says that this person, X, had created iPad’s design and depicted it in his groundbreaking work of fiction Y. Coincidentally, another of Apple’s market-changing gadgets derives its name from the same work of fiction.
Identify X and Y.
Happy quizzing, and have a nice life, folks!

Five answers, but only two are entirely correct. X is Stanley Kubrick, and Y is 2001: A Space Odyssey. It’s the iPad now, but even the iPod owes its nomenclature to this ‘work of fiction’, or more specifically, the film directed by Kubrick!
