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?


2. mpg What is the significance of this clip/advertisement?

3. These are two popular songs - connect them.

Coldplay's "Don't Panic" mpg
Radiohead's "Paranoid Android" mpg

    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

    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.

    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?

  • 13 - Aaman

    Jul 29, 2005 at 11:57 am

    Fixed that pesky formatting:)

    3 outta 10 is pretty bad, eh? I got the ones that required no listening whatsoever: 3, 5, and 6.

    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....
