Firstly, apologies.
I had to restate the figures today due to an accounting error on Day 5. Yadavalli's losses were over-stated (5.00) and so were the profits of Niranjan, Pichu, Ramesh L and Sharath (1.25 each). We would like apportion partial blame on the El Nino effect and complete blame on the computer system which was wrongly designed & implemented by various vendors from India, Phillippines, China, Russia and all the other outsourcing destinations. We have also initiated discplinary actions against the directors involved and they have voluntarily accepted the offer to take a few hundred million bucks to retire in fame, shame and relative penury.

Now that is out of the way, there is not much to report on the world cup; except that the WI v Zimbabwe game was boring except for a few million Windies fans (boy! they know how to enjoy life!) and a couple of world records for would-be minnows India. For the statistically inclined, India scored the highest runs in a World Cup game and won by the highest margin in ODI history. Of course, the India game was boring for the whole world except for 15 Indians and a few Ozzies. No points for guessing who I am referring to.
Now for the Can-You-Do-It-Without-Googling Trivia...
(Just to show that there is life outside cricket, however small! No points; Pure quizzing!)
Answer to yesterday's question: It is the PUCK. The 'ball' that is used in ice-hockey.
Again, quite a few got this right: Subra, Krish, Ganesh TCS, Anand Re, Guru, But that was an easy one. People were even throwing reverse questions at me referring to Stanley Cup etc.. Well done guys.
Today's question:
For a change, crack this cross-word puzzle today.
- Roman Hundred and others; Ride to the top (5)
Keep the answers rolling into the usual mailing address. Three prizes at the end of the world cup for the best performer.
Until the next one...
P.S. The webdings apology at the beginning of this post can be checked out on word after cut-and-paste. If it sounds Enron-esque, then it is not the intention but only due to right corporate governance induction. If your Microsoftly-challenged, please contact your nearest MSFT support.
