Day #10: Black and Orange


Kiwis in desperate form; The Associate Cup Final#3 fizzled out (Zim & Ire served a cracker and Ken swamped Can). Davison and Doeschate did create their own parties. Can't wait until the big ones start...

Tonight is the night of reckoning for India and Sri Lanka. One wag was quipping, "It depends on who wants the money more? Sri Lanka or Bangladesh!" The guy was sure that India will flex its economic muscle to get into the next stage.

There was another thought:
If India gets out of the cup at this stage itself, then both BCCI and PCB will quickly, quickly (you have to read those two 'quicklies' quickly :-) organize a 5-match series between India and Pakistan - only to draw all the advertisers away from the World Cup to India. Very Interesting!!!

If you think that we are rich and don't have much to do but to dabble in betting, then read this.

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: Citric Acid (Orange) & Malic Acid (Apple) - Both of them cause the sourness in the respective fruits albeit at varying degrees.

Looks like that was a tough one... Only two cracked it. Guru and Anand Re. There was one half-right - Citric Acid from SivaSubra.

Today's question:
  • JII, STAR, TADAWUL, BUX - What are these? Full explanations please.

Keep the answers rolling into the usual mailing address. Three prizes at the end of the world cup for the best performers.

Until the next one...
