  • 12:17:44: Great answers! And closing now :) The answer is from the color of his tongue. He smuggled in venom in red ink and sucked from the pen nib
  • 12:19:14: Almost universally cracked but fasted by @siddev18, @ameyc and @subhadeep_c ... others get glory too but unfortunately no points. ;-)
  • 12:21:32: q6. http://bhalomanush.posterous.com/question-6-byomkesh-quiz

  • 12:34:43: . @saffrontail... that was Arthamanartham were Sukumar was framed because he was a doctor. I'm harping on the profession "acting" here.
  • 12:35:37: Ok a bit of a toughie. I'll close but give out some hints. This is from Room No. 2 filmed by Basu Chatterjee for DD as Room No. 201

  • 12:48:51: Great answers & I'll close shortly. If you want to try to crack go for it now. Think imaginatively where you'd hide matches with waterproof.
  • 12:51:21: Closing... in the original Bengali and Hindi adaptation it was found in a matka @siddev18 @arkadev and @subhadeep_c (_c for last one too).
  • 12:52:21: .@saffrontail was close on the heels but "in between two layers" of a thermos was ever so slightly off. A round of applause to her though.
  • 12:54:33: and time for the last question: http://bhalomanush.posterous.com/question-10-byomkesh-bakshi-quiz
  • 12:55:35: and I am reminded that I am -5 for getting @saffrontrail wrong as @saffrontail. Fortunately I'm not the one being quizzed here otherwise...
  • 12:59:29: Ok... one spectacular answer, but here are hints. "Numb yet" and you're paralyzed when injected. Wears off and you can kill someone.
  • 12:59:48: All right closed.
