• 12:42:56: Hello folks. @gauravsabnis here for a general quiz. Heavy on entertainment.
  
• 12:43:07: 3,2,1 for the first 3 responses.
  
• 12:43:48: Since the Puzzles quiz was cancelled, I thought of starting off with a question that is puzzle-like.
  
• 12:43:55: Q1. John Le Carre + Irwing Shaw + Irwing Shaw = ?

• 12:50:17: A1. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy Rich Man Poor Man beggar Man Thief. Points only to @shatadal
  
• 12:51:14: A1. The whole thing is a nursery rhyme. Le Carre wrote TTSS, Shaw wrote Rich Man Poor Man, and the seuqel was Beggar Man Thief
  
• 12:51:38: Here is the wikipedia page of the nursery rhyme http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinker,_Tailor
  
• 12:53:32: Yeah,. the rhyme says Sailor, not Spy. But close enough. :)
  
• 12:54:45: Q2. What do the two images depict? http://yfrog.com/mzyf6j
  
• 12:58:27: Folks, if I wanted just the movie ID-ed, I'd say "ID the movie". And why would I give 2 pics? Think.
  
• 12:59:40: A2. ET original and digitally altered in 2002. Guns replaced with walkie-talkies. Points to @ajith_sethu @arvindblogs @bongopondit
  
• 13:01:23: Q3. Whose face should replace the question mark? http://yfrog.com/3d5uj
  
• 13:01:41: ROFL! Sowwieeee RT @purnimarao @kweezzz DON'T SCOLD. WE ARE TRYING OUR BEST. *sniff*
  
• 13:06:19: A3. Jon Stewart. He replaced Craig Kilborn the way Leno replaced Carson etc. Pts to @arvindblogs @madhuri567 @shatadal
  
• 13:07:33: Q4. Connect. Two words needed. Explanations can wait. http://yfrog.com/5zh7oj
  
• 13:10:13: For Q3 answer can also be Craig Fergusson. My bad.
  
• 13:10:50: But as it happens, all the Fergusson answers came after the 3 people who won points answered Stewart, so question stands.
  
• 13:13:11: A4. Green Day, the band. Points to @ajith_Sethu @pranavbakliwal and @goatbouy
  
• 13:14:22: The name is a reference to weed. Operation Ivy was the inspiration band. Dookie (the turd) name of their first album.

• 13:21:32: Q6. What is this about? Note the 'myth' and 'fiction' blurbs. http://yfrog.com/mgejkj
  
• 13:22:09: Haha, sorry RT @sreekanthp @kweezzz Interestingly typo in your tweet as well. Its sreekanthp :D
  
• 13:22:55: Q6 is (I hope!) a head-scratcher, so I'll take a coffee break for a few minutes.
  
• 13:24:08: Clue for Q6. Those are "myth" and "fiction". Best guess for "reality" is apparently some crazy radical Islamic leader.
  
• 13:30:06: A6. How the sphinx lost its nose. Popular myth is that Napoleon's army broke it, but historic records refuse that.
  
• 13:30:48: Obelix breaks it in Asterix&Cleopatra. In Aladin, a mason, startled by A&J flying by on a carpet, breaks it.
  
• 13:31:59: The best guess for how it actually broke, is that some fundoo named Muhammad Sa'im al-Dahr did it.

• 13:57:12: Sorry, re: Q10, the Pope visited LA in 1978. I made a typo booboo.
  
• 13:58:13: Another clue - When he said "how much we all respect your father", he meant "we cops".
  
• 13:59:17: I really need to leave and there is one more question to go. So closing this in 1 minute.
  
• 14:00:18: ROFL! RT @sidvee kweezzz Dawood Ibrahim's daughter
