Day #38: So Long Lara!




So Lara got run out by Samuels in his last international innings. KP managed to end up on the winning side with a round 100 and the Super 8 has come to a conclusion at last.

Australia seems to be the overwhelming favourite now, with only the Sri Lankans expected to have some firepower to slow them down. For all practical purposes, this will end up as the most one-sided of them all events.

Semis on Tuesday (SL v NZL) and Wednesday (Aus v SA).

The consolidated figures above includes the Semis guesses. Only Guru and Karri got the semis line up right.

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: Those four guys are from the music group REM. But no one got what the graphs represent and therefore the connection was missed out. The graphs are the EEG (Electro Encephalo Gram - aka brain waves) under various sleeping stages. The last graph (e) represents REM - Rapid Eyeball movement stage of our sleep. I thought that the 50 microvolts at the bottom of the graph would be a give-away. But it was not to be.

So no one got it.

Today's question - courtesy Maanasa, a Primary 3 student:
  • What is the name of the tree that you can find on a SGD 5 note?

Your answers via normal mode of communication. Keep them rolling in.

Until the next one...
