WCT20 - BQ is on!!

As promised, the next edition of BQ is back.

Before we go on to the rules, here are my two-paise worth observations over the happenings in the Carribean...

• India is flattering... hope they don't deceive!
• England is at their favourite sport again... whining!
• South Africa is making the right noises... choke, cough, choke!
• Australia almost did the impossible of losing six in six against Pakis. Still five out of six is creditable:-) Ominous!
• Cheerleaders are scary. Yes, I am racist! What kind of guys chose those colours - cyan and mithai pink...You can see the impact of these colours on this post :-)) Mr Ambani: Here is my opthalmologist's bill...

BQ is on. Here is the first one.

BQ-1:

What seems to be wrong here? How is it possible?

An easy one to warm up those grey cells.

***********************
 
Now for the B- part:

Rules are pretty much same.

Moolah involved: 
Minimum 30 bucks

That gives you:

• one semi-finals line up guess (5 bucks) and
• any eight matches from super-8 till finals (3 bucks each) and
• one buck worth of Quiz prize money

Please note that there are a total of 15 matches from Super-8 till finals. So you can pick and choose.

Would appreciate if at least 10 get involved in the B-part; Naheen to majaa naheen hai!

* You are free to exceed this minimum by guessing the results of more games and more semis line up guesses etc.
* But if you intend taking part part in the BQ, then you commit to the minimum set of numbers mentioned above.
* Final winners give a commitment of donating at least 10% of their winnings towards charity. (I know, I know, almost all the winners from last time have donated it to charity Thanks to them! :-))
