• 15:16:43: A few more minutes and I do want to add a final question that doesn't have an audio clue, but an audio answer as promised.
  
• 15:18:17: Closed then... Cheb-i-Sabbah it is! @gauravsabnis @sidnag 2nd and @shreeharsha87

• 16:50:35: Q7. http://plixi.com/p/55615150
  
• 16:51:50: This is odd. Neither @oldmonkmgm nor @ameyc appeared on http://twitter.com/#search?q=%40kweezzz
  
• 16:54:18: Change in scoring for Q6 based on my TL. @ameyc gets it first followed by @oldmonkmgm and @i_r_Squared

• 17:02:25: Not Saregama(pa). It started in 1995.
  
• 17:04:04: Oops. Error in the question. I meant longest running Indian "cable" TV show. DD has several that ran longer. Like Chitrahaar.

• 17:19:00: Q10 These 3 images have a connect. I don't want the connect. Based on the connect, guess the dude's name http://plixi.com/p/55619577
  
• 17:21:45: Too vague I guess. Just in case you couldn't figure it out, the bottom picture is of a race-course.
  
• 17:22:30: You don't need to give me the dude's full name. Just last name will do. Based on the connect, you can only guess the last name.
  
• 17:23:49: The map depicts...in case someone hasn't figured it out, the state of Pennsylvania.
  
• 17:24:49: Can't give any more clues without giving it away. Will give you 2 more minutes for lateral thinking and then close it.
  
• 17:25:42: OK, a clue - the connect has nothing to do with actual horse racing. Nor a direct connection to the state of Pennsylvania.
  
• 17:27:56: It's getting late and no one is even close. So closing it and moving on.
  
• 17:28:21: The dude's name is Sir George Downing. Anyone wanna guess the connect (for no points)?
  
• 17:29:38: Official residence addresses of head of governments of India (Racecourse Rd), US (Pennsylvania Avenue), UK (Downing Street).
  
• 17:30:58: Indian PM - 7 Racecourse Road. US President - 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. UK - 10 Downing Street.
  
• 17:32:02: Sorry if it was too obtuse. Thought of putting in French, German, Russian addresses, but doubt anyone would recognize them.
  
• 17:32:32: 2 more questions and the quiz is done.
  
• 17:33:43: Q11. This is an old question I like framed by @adityagadre. Connect http://plixi.com/p/55621885
  
• 17:34:28: People need to sleep in desh, so will close both questions as soon as I get 3 correct responses. So please hurry.
  
• 17:35:44: Not Hound of Baskervilles, but I am curious why more than 1 person reached the same conclusion!
  
• 17:36:39: Got one correct answer. Two more and I close.
  
• 17:39:03: A11. Kipling's poems. Gunga Din, The Anvil, Mandalay, Romulus & remus etc. Points only to @siddev18 and @i_r_squared
  
• 17:41:22: Q12. In 1974, at the Org of Islamic Countries conference, X gave a passionate speech defending Pakistan's right to build nukes (1/2)

• 17:42:47: X was not a Pakistani.
  
• 17:44:13: X was a foreign head of state.
  
• 17:45:52: How would hanging Bhutto honor a foreign head of state who supported Pakistan's right to build nukes? :-S
  
• 17:46:30: Lots of you also saying Morarji Desai getting Nishan-e-Pakistan. Nope. He couldn't attend an OIC conference. X is not Indian.
  
• 17:47:38: A12. X was Muammar Gaddafi. The Lahore Stadium was renamed after him. Points only to @i_r_squared
  
• 17:48:55: Thus concludes the quiz. Winner is @i_r_squared with 16. @pranavbakliwal is 2nd with 14. @siddev18 is 3rd with 7.
  
• 17:50:16: People were able to google the answer to Q12? Wow! Talented googlers! What were the keywords?
  
• 17:52:29: Anyhoo. That's all for the day/night. Send praise to @gauravsabnis and criticism to @sunilification :P
  
• 17:53:35: Contact @sidvee or @krtgrphr if you want to conduct a quiz here. And you MUST visit www.kweezzz.com. Anyhoo. Adios, amhi goes.
