- 14:57:55: Ok lots of answers. Was looking for characters at the Angler's Rest pub, Mr Mulliner's hangout. Drinks for those who named the book too.
- 15:00:39: Loading next Q on imageshack. Previous answers by @shenoyn (first to get the full answer) and many more....
- 15:01:02: Q9. Connect: http://bit.ly/dAxXGd
- 15:03:23: Some getting the drink on the left, but you have to connect the two.
- 15:05:32: Some people seem to be having problems with the image. Here is it again: http://bit.ly/9Nr43A

- 15:11:02: ..and McLure's is the fictional whiskey brand he drinks in The Crazy Heart.(btw, I think he deserved the Oscars for TBL than Crazy Heart)
- 15:12:33: Btw, Tia Maria (any kind of coffee liqueur) can be used in White Russian. I thought Kahlua would've been more of a giveaway...

- 15:25:23: Q1. Who was the first ever non-American to throw the ceremonial starting pitch for a Chicago Cubs game? And which year? Both for points.
- 15:27:36: Remember people, this is not an #unkweezzz. Funny answers won't win points. Question-Answers MUST have a veneer of believability.
- 15:28:17: The objective of the great Pornob was not to have answers that are correct. But answers that make the audience swoon and go, "Nice!!!!"
- 15:29:06: Lots of correct answers. But a clue, which should be obvious to Pornob victims - it was a Bengali!
- 15:30:07: A1. Swami Vivekananda in 1893 when he went for the World Religions Congress in Chicago.
- 15:31:27: Points to @krtgrphr @uglybutbearable and @ameyc. Some dude called Souvik got it first but had too many numbers in his username, so points.

- 15:36:42: Again people giving too many #unkweez type answers. If this continues, I will throw some participants off the stage!
- 15:38:47: Wrong, but good answer. 2 points for thinking in the right direction. RT @Gunmaster_G_9 the naked truth
- 15:40:10: A2. Krishna to Dushasan: "You thought it would be easy unveiling THE WHOLE NINE YARDS?" That's how the phrase was coined.
- 15:40:29: Only @i_r_squared gets points for the correct answer.
- 15:41:40: Just to clarify, these aren't questions that Pornob actually asked. :P These are inspired by his style of reality-forming. :)
- 15:42:19: Q3. Which place got its name from an English officer in Oudh noticing that the man who cut his hair went there every friday?
- 15:43:45: @sidvee Yeah, so I started with a fake funda built on that fake funda :P

- 15:48:27: A4. The name was Chandan-nishta, which later became Sandinista (insert obligatory tearful homage to lefty movements all over).

- 15:51:33: Q5. Which Indian ad mascot from the 60s, rumored to have died, grew up to be the actress Reena Roy?
- 15:52:46: .@Sarcyjihadi You Sir/Mam, are insulting brave jihadis with your name. I shall not spell your name right! Except now.
- 15:53:12: Clue - The said mascot was for a brand of radios.
- 15:53:49: Amul girl? Air India Maharaj? How can a cartoon grow up to be a person? Even Parnab doesn't twist reality that much. :P
- 15:55:15: A5. The Murphy baby. points to @sarcyjihadi because my mood has now improved. Also to @daxie97 and @maxdavinci
- 15:56:07: Q6. Which cooking equipment, devised for austere food, was invented by sanyasis wanting to renounce bodily pleasures, as the name indicates?
- 15:56:58: @Sarcyjihadi Mule was the name of the lawyer in Satya played by Makrand Deshpande.

- 16:15:47: Said by someone famous for wearing a rose
- 16:16:29: Remember, the answer must make the audience go "Ahh! Nice!" :P
- 16:17:18: 7 points each to @pitusultan and @gunmaster_g_9 for getting the rose part.
- 16:18:09: And correct answer by @sarcyjihadi - Salma Sultan, the DD newsreader who always wore a rose in her hair.
- 16:18:57: With that we come to the end of the quiz. Tied for first place are @i_r_squared @bongopondit and @sarcyjihadi Ready for tie-breaker?
- 16:20:05: You realize it is BS, right? The Nehru part? :P RT @Gunmaster_G_9 Awesome Q. Pornob or otherwise :P
- 16:21:01: For tie-break, in true Pornob style, I ask @bongopondit @sarcyjihadi and @i_r_squared to each choose a topic. On which I'll ask them 1 qn.
- 16:22:24: I am afraid the contestants MUST choose a topic.
- 16:23:35: So @bongopondit has chosen ancient Indian eroticism.
- 16:24:12: Also @i_r_squared has chosen Communism in Bengal. And @sarcyjihadi - Geography.

- 16:27:36: Question for @i_r_squared Who was the Assistant Transport and Agricultural Minister in the 3rd ever CPI(M) government in Bengal?

- 16:29:09: Question for @sarcyjihadi - What is the capital of Mongolia? (Lesson for others - give him easy peasy question, he makes life easy peasy)

- 16:30:54: Wrong answer by @i_r_squared. Answer is, there was no such post in that government!
