Quiz Time 6 Yr Host - Aaman Lamba
Quizzing normally has two types of rounds - the dry rounds, which unfortunately have little to do with spirits being imbibed or not, and the audio/visual rounds. Some of the most interesting questions are audio/visual connections - often these can be audio-audio or audio-visual-visual, etc.
In this spirit, this quiz has a few of these types. I've also fixed the bug from the last quiz that caused a new window when the audio links were clicked.
Note: The answers have been inserted - how did you do?
The Questions - Stage I
1. Lamborghini cars are named for something. Miura, Jalpa, Diablo. What?
The Answer is ... Fighting Bulls
2. What is the significance of this clip/advertisement?
The Answer is ... This is an ad for the first Radio DJ show
3. These are two popular songs - connect them. Coldplay's "Don't Panic" Radiohead's "Paranoid Android"
The Answer is ... Both are inspired by Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers' Guide To The Galaxy

Eric/Temple, how did you do?
hi Aaman, looks great but in IE the text runs off the page to the right, so I can't read it all
I can see - there's no special html - will check again
could be a pic or centering issue - sometimes if you align a pic left it skews the page
I've plugged in breaks - try yr hand now
that's freaking hard - my head hurts. Now the text is fine but the page itself is still skewed at top and bottom, ie, the Amazon text at top, and the comments.
I blame you for still using Internet Explorer, Eric.
I am the voice of the masses
Question 2 is specially for you:)
I am the voice of the masses Internet Explorer is the choice of the asses.
WNEW AM, "the world's great radio station," went off the air in 1992
This clip is pretty old - and the question is more about what is/was special about the show being advertised?
Fixed that pesky formatting:)
yeay! I'll listen to clip again
Answers are up for the quiz - check them out
EricO, did you get the second q?
Wow, did I ever suck or WHAT? I did not quite get shutout, but...
3 outta 10 is pretty bad, eh? I got the ones that required no listening whatsoever: 3, 5, and 6.
That's very good, Philip
Haven't listened to any of the clips (doesn't work here at work). Just looking at the questions I'm pretty sure this is going to be my worst outing ever. Will check in later....
Finally got back to it (and see Quiz 7 is up. so that's next.) 9,5 and 4 was me. i kind of got the connection in 7 but didn't know he was the inspiration so XXXXX. 3 right the rest, not right for me.
