Oh, that is the Varuna Mantra being chanted by the Indians - especially the bowlers, who should be hoping for a miraculous turnaround in the last game against the Maroons.
One thing is for sure: the Maroons are not morons. They might be short on experience; but the Indians compensate that by being short on confidence - and of course that length ;-))
Anyways, because of the un-natural end to the game due to natural causes, the pool got skewed. Usually, the bank walks away with all the money under such circumstances (only to plough that as bonus in later rounds) - but then the tie-breaker guesses (sixers, first wicket etc.) came in only to avoid such circumstances. So, Guru lost out for being the fearless one to have wrongly guessed the first wicket mode of dismissal. So everybody is 16.67 cents richer! I did not consider the sixers as the full match did not happen.
That brings us to the sans-Google quiz:
Yesterday's answer:
Well, whoever bothered to answer, got an answer and all of them are, ahem... correct! Sivasubs tells us that it took him all of 15 seconds to do it. So, am not publishing any answer(s). I was even chided for giving such a simple question. After the IPOD, I thought that you guys deserved an easy one. Hindsight being 20/20, I should have asked for all possible answers, so there could have been some more competition. Next time...
Amar, Anand Re, Dhivya, Guru, Laks, Madhavan, Sivasubs, Suryanshu, Yadavalli - all attempted the question and got it right. Bon.
Now for today's question:
- Back to a picture. Which country's map?
Enjoy and rush the answers and the guesses for the next game.
Oh, by the way, a number of you came back saying that the 2008 wordlist was nice/useful/interesting - not the Russian way! Happy to be of service...
PS: Om Varunaaya Namaha! = Salutations and prayers to Varuna, the God of Waters!
