SA wins New Zealand, (:| (:| (:|


Thanks for those who sent in the 100th blog wishes. You can always leave your views and feedback in the comments. Of course, the guesses and answers to the emails.

One additional reminder: Please stick to the margins published earlier. Do not invent your own margins. Then I will have to approximate on what you have given me.

It was a simple game between the hosts and the kiwis.


Almost akin to the Pakis thrashing the hapless Windies last night. Yesterday, I was actually torn between two emotions: Happy, because the Pakistanis were showing no signs of controlling the self-destruction mentality & Sad, because that the Windies had at least two bowlers who can spell danger for the Indians - Tonge and Best :-()


The Kiwis pretended well - to fly. But then they are flightless and in the end Parnell bought his wickets well, I thought.


Otherwise, the Proteas are still rusty. But one could hear the sweet music of the engine for a bit longer than what it was in the first game.


Coming to the pool, today is the first occasion that four people have got the maximum points (9) by guess all the five categories correct. Looks like it is becoming easy, eh ;-) Congratulations, guys.


Now for the sans-Google trivia quiz:

Answer to yesterday's question:

The substance that has that devilish molecular formula is...

  • Not Proteins, Not Ammonia, Not Water, Not Caustic Soda... but MSG - Mono-sodium Glutamate, the famous additive.

Seems to be a tough one - only Yadavalli got it right. Great show, mate! It is tough to get a google search organized based on a picture. So a true effort!

Now for today's question (courtesy Bhargav):

Crossword Clue (5 letters):

  • A Swift Character That Yang Likes

Answers & guesses via the usual route. Have fun.

PS: (: l is the emoticon for yaaawwwnnn!
