Days #31 & 32: Ireland shows the way!




Firstly apologies for not publishing the results yesterday. A combination of busy schedule, health and lethargy - not necessarily in the same order caused the delay. Hopefully, I did not cause any heart-attacks and heart-burns to those winners and losers.

I read somewhere that all the Indians were supporting Ireland yesterday (because they defeated Pakistan in the prelims) and all the Pakistanis were supporting Bangladesh (because they defeated India in the prelims). But then, you can't match a billion wishes and so, it was not the Irish spirit that won the game; not the painstaking 85 from Porterfield that won the game; but it was the billion wishes that won the game for the Ireland (Trust the Indians to claim credits :-)


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: RINK, CABINET, MAIZE, SOUTH, NAVEL, DECOY, FOCUS, GLAZE, JINX, BEWARE, EQUIP, OTHER, CAST, ROAST (It could also be OTTER and CASH)



Anand Re and Sivasubs (with the help of Pan Crossword Solver) got it right. Good effort guys. On the cartoon quiz of Day 30, I have been corrected that Hot Dog is also the pet dog of Jug Head Jones. Hence credit goes to Ganesh TCS and Sivasubs as well, who had given their answer as Hot Dog. Thanks Ganesh TCS for pointing it out. Will be careful in future :-)

Today's middle-of-the-month nut:

  • What are these: Kokilarava, Nabhomani, Paadi, Ramakali, Gurjari, Bangala?

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

Ad Kitty: USD 3.76 [Hardly 0.46 over the weekend :-(]

Until the next one...
