• 12:22:26: @arvindblogs This is a general quiz. A filler before Gaurav starts at 10. Almost done @siddharthadev18 here

• 12:25:14: 6. Who is missing in this sequence.(.the last pic which is blank)- http://twitpic.com/2gictk
  
• 12:27:02: no answers? I thought veterans will hit this out of the park..
  
• 12:28:45: one correct answer recvd. Bonus point on the way?
  
• 12:31:00: ok..2 answers recvd.. no bonus points. well done @moez89 -2 pts and @devmallya - 1
  
• 12:33:12: few others have got it..but points ar claimed already. The answer is Joe DiMaggio. The sequence is 1. Harry (cont) http://tl.gd/38dnfn
  
• 12:36:17: Thats it , folks. bonus question with no points. Whose epitaph reads "Thats it Folks!" ?
  
• 12:39:16: The #LOST quiz will start soon. 15 questions. And a slightly different scoring scheme.
  
• 12:40:37: Points awarded will be - 1st correct response - 42, 2nd - 23, 3rd - 16, 4th - 15, 5th - 8, 6th - 4. LOST fans shouldn't mind, I hope. :)
  
• 12:41:54: Mel Blanc it is. your feedback will be much apreciated @siddharthadev18 . handing over to @gauravsabnis for LOST quiz.
  
• 12:42:20: Q1. In reality, it roughly means, "eagles piercing the open skies". In LOST canon however, it means....what?
  
• 12:47:35: I want the equivalent line, not what the thing is.
  
• 12:51:16: Sorry. Damn computer restarted. Posting this from the phone. Be back with scores soon.
  
• 12:52:39: Eagles piercing, cleaving same difference. Thats the real thing. I want what lost says it is.
  
• 12:52:59: Got 4 right answers already.
  
• 12:54:50: Haha. Yes, situation ripe for pressing the button jokes. :P
  
• 12:57:54: Alright, Desmon pressed the failsafe, and I am back online.
  
• 12:58:48: A1. "He walks among us, but he isn't one of us" - is what LOST says Jack's chinese tattoo means. It actually means the eagles thing.
  
• 12:59:04: That is a real tattoo Matthew Fox has had since before LOST.
  
• 12:59:27: The eagles piercing skies line is from a poem by Mao Tse-tung.
  
• 13:02:23: Q2. If Season 5: Willie Nelson, Season 3: Petula Clarke, then Season 2: ?????
  
• 13:09:09: A2. Cass "Mama" Elliott. Concept being, songs that start the season.
  
• 13:10:08: S2 started with Mama's "Make your own kinda music" in the swan stn with Desmond. S3 started with Juliet playing Petula Clarke's Downtown.
  
• 13:10:48: S5 started with Shotgun Willie by Willie Nelson on Dr. Chang's record player.
  
• 13:12:07: A2. Points @yogeshmali - 42 @harishmenon - 23 @vicramb - 16 @AaruC - 15 @atulmathew - 8
  
• 13:13:05: Q3. Connect Sam Witwicky (google him if you like) with Hurley and Hurley's dad.
  
• 13:16:11: Alright, let me make it more specific. The answer is a proper noun, not some common sentiment or situation.
  
• 13:18:03: "dad buy them a car that freaks them out" is not the correct answer.
  
• 13:21:09: A4. Chevy Camaro. Which is Sam's Bumblebee (1976 version) in Transformers movie and which Hurley and his dad work on together (1972).
  
• 13:22:20: Kinda tied to previous question. Season 4 doesn't start with a song, but with the camaro crashing through a fruit stand.
  
• 13:24:39: A4. Points @animite - 42 @AaruC - 23 @vicramb - 16 @arvindblogs - 15 @harishmenon - 8 @whatnonsense2 - 4
  
• 13:25:11: Sorry sorry A3. Not 4. Q4 coming up.
  
• 13:27:36: Q4. A theme connects them. Another person, were I to put him there, would appear twice. Who&why twice? No halfsy. http://twitpic.com/2giw5a
  
• 13:31:06: re: Q4. Just the name won't do (cos it's a lucky-guess-able answer). I need "why twice" reason for me to give you points.
  
• 13:32:07: Clue - Others who would "partially" fit the theme - Boone Carlyle and Danielle Rousseau.
  
• 13:33:06: Those who crack this are truly LOST-tards...like me. :P
  
• 13:37:00: I have got some correct answers already. Long enough for others to see, agree, and post them for points. :) So closing this question.
  
• 13:37:48: A4. All named after philosophers. Mikhail Bakunin, Anthony Cooper, Charlottle Staples (CS) Lewis, Desmond "David Hume".
  
• 13:38:25: A4. contd. Terry O'Quinn would appear twice. He plays John Locke and then uses the alias Jeremy Bentham, also philosophers.
  
• 13:38:57: a4. points @arvindblogs - 42 @harishmenon - 23 @vinodh_v - 16. That's all the points awarded.
  
• 13:41:16: Q5. Ben tells Jack of 3 events that occurred since 814 crashed. Red Sox winning the world series, Bush's re-election, and...what?
  
• 13:41:38: While you folks attempt Q5, I shall take a 5 minute break.
  
• 13:45:50: Stupid typo. I meant flight 815 of course.
  
• 13:49:04: A5. The death of Christopher Reeve (Superman). Easy one.
  
• 13:50:31: A5. Scores @AaruC - 42 @arvindblogs - 23 @harishmenon - 16 @yogeshmali - 15 @a_traveller - 8 @blntechie - 4
  
• 13:55:46: Q6. He shares his name with a character from The Wizard of Oz. The state he is from, is incidentally the same (cont) http://tl.gd/38f4qs
  
• 14:02:08: A6. Easy one I guess, with all the clues. Henry Gale, who crashed in the balloon, who Ben pretended to be in S2.
  
• 14:03:30: A6. Points @arvindblogs - 42 @animite - 23 @batmanush - 16 @yogeshmali - 15 @aaruc - 8 @vinodh_v - 4
  
• 14:04:54: A7. Easy one. Pierre Chang asked Hurley "Who is the President of the United States?" Hurley didn't know. What should his answer have been?
  
• 14:09:58: A7. When Chang asks that, it's 1977. so the answer is obviously Jimmy Carter.
  
• 14:10:53: A7. points @arvindblogs - 42 @11ty1 - 23 @satanbhagat - 16 @animite - 15 @vnidh_v - 8 @batmanush - 4
  
• 14:11:06: Midway scores coming up.
  
• 14:12:06: Sorry, that's @vinodh_v - 8
  
• 14:13:13: The top 5 so far - @arvindblogs - 179 @AaruC - 130 @animite - 80 @yogeshmali - 72 @harishmenon - 70.
  
• 14:14:30: Q8. Staying with Miles' dad, what "theme" is common to the aliases he uses in the DHARMA orientation videos?
  
• 14:21:40: A8. Answer is candle or even wax - Marvin Candle, Edgar HalliWAX, Mark WICKmund etc.
  
• 14:22:35: A8. Scores @batmanush - 42 @11ty1 - 23 @aaruc - 16 @arvindblogs - 15
  
• 14:23:43: It's almost midnight in India. So in the interest of people's careers, I'll cut the quiz short, down to 12 instead of the original 15.
  
• 14:27:56: Q9. According to the writer of the Numbers episode, he chose 5 of the 6 numbers based on some significance each (cont) http://tl.gd/38fia7
  
• 14:32:32: A9. Well that was wide and outside off, and you all went Sehwag on it. Yup, 42 - Douglas Adams/H2G2 homage.
  
• 14:33:44: A9. Points. Getting 42 for 42 - @AaruC. @hallidude - 23 @11ty1 - 16 @satanbhagat - 15 @batmanush - 8 @siddharthadev18 - 4
  
• 14:35:11: Only 3 more questions. Coming up, one of those questions that even non-LOSTies can attempt.
  
• 14:37:45: Q10. In S5, when Ben uses the analogy of the "doubting" apostle Thomas with Jack, he is looking at replica of a related painting by whom?
  
• 14:38:29: @hallidude Going as fast as I can. These scores won't add themselves. :(
  
• 14:43:00: You people aren't only into LOST but into art as well. Quite universally cracked!
  
• 14:43:27: A10. Caravaggio it is. This painting - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Incredulity_of_Saint_Thomas_(Caravaggio)
  
• 14:44:19: A10. Points @arvindblogs - 42 @aaruc - 23 @satanbhagat - 16 @11ty1 - 15 @hallidude - 8 @batmanush - 4
  
• 14:45:45: With 2 questions to go, the battle is between @arvindblogs at 236 and @aaruc at 211. @11ty1 is 3rd with an even century.
  
• 14:48:22: Q11. A bit tricky, this one. Which LOST character gets his/her name from a famous Hindu spiritual guru and writer's birth name?
  
• 14:49:54: @i_r_squared Heh. :) Cynic!
  
• 14:50:58: Q11 has most of you stumped I see. Will wait for a bit, and then give a clue.
  
• 14:51:47: The Bombay quiz club meets in SantaCruz-W, next Quiz on 22nd Augst, sun. For Details http://bombayquiz.blogspot.com/

• 14:57:25: Final question coming up.
  
• 14:59:12: Q12. The comic that Hurley was reading on 815 (and which Walt later reads), featured which 2 superheroes?
  
• 14:59:41: @sidvee And we were rather rudely ejected midway too! @planet_ritwam
  
• 15:01:14: Both have to be correct for points. No half points.
  
• 15:03:19: A12. Green Lantern AND Flash. The comic is in Spanish, and featured a polar bear.
  
• 15:04:55: A12. Points. @aaruc - 42 @mojorojo - 23 @11ty1 - 16 @satanbhagat - 15 @animite - 8
  
• 15:06:25: That concludes the LOST quiz. Scores coming up. Winner has to be one of @AaruC and @arvindblogs who were battling like Jack and MIB. :)
