• 15:17:09: this is ur Kwej @ennaipolevan blowing out the decks
  
• 15:18:35: Alright folks. @gauravsabnis here with an easy google earth quiz. Starting in 5 minutes.
  
• 15:20:03: Easy because most of the locations are wurrld phyamous. I searched for them and erased tell-tale names or visuals.
  
• 15:21:39: 15 questions in all. Since it's late in India, I'll close the questions fast (~3 mins). So be on your toes.
  
• 15:22:11: Scoring scheme - 3,2,1 for the first 3 correct responses.
  
• 15:23:31: Will get me some caffeinated beverage and start soon. I repeat - most questions are absolute sitters.
  
• 15:29:39: Q1. Name the building AND the city for full points. http://plixi.com/p/56511985
  
• 15:32:35: I knew people would guess Louvre. Not-it. Look at the shape of the entire building. It was designed specifically to resemble an object.
  
• 15:35:23: Final clue - it was designed to look like a record player from above. (also, #youremember record player)
  
• 15:37:04: A1. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum in Cleveland Ohio. Pts to @anantha @itsdemo @shriniwask (I needed city and monument both)
  
• 15:38:43: Q2. Name the island http://yfrog.com/12i0nwj
  
• 15:41:26: A2. See, I told you it's sitter heavy. Liberty Island, home of the "green cow" (inside joke with @ved19) Pts @lordfuqua @anantha @aaruc
  
• 15:42:05: The 11-pointed star shaped base which used to be a Fort was surely the give-away.
  
• 15:42:25: @abhisheknag Only for you, Sir. Everyone else seems to be able to see.
  
• 15:43:33: For Q3, I DO NOT need the name of the place or the owner or where it is (although the info will help you). Just answer the question.
  
• 15:44:34: Q3. In what month and year did the depiction of this place on Google Earth change from before to after" http://plixi.com/p/56514175
  
• 15:49:18: Again, I don't need the name of the place or location or the owner. I need the month and year when it was changed.
  
• 15:51:20: A3. January 2009 when Obama replaced Bush in the WH. The image is of Dick Cheney's house which was blurred before then.
  
• 15:52:07: Points to @abhisheknag @aaruc @lordfuqua
  
• 15:53:22: Q4. Identify this place. The place is wurld phyamous. Whether its visual is or not, your replies will reveal. http://yfrog.com/jybowwj
  
• 15:54:41: Whoops, just saw that @lordfuqua admitted to googling Q3. point instead to @arvindblogs
  
• 15:56:20: A4. I guess the visual is phyamous too! Area 51 in Nevada. points to @lordfuqua @shriniwask @cgawker
  
• 15:57:39: Q5. Identify the building AND the city in which it is, both for points. http://plixi.com/p/56516030
  
• 16:00:46: A5. The BMW Headquarters (German name translates to BMW 4-Cylinders) in Munich. Pts to @arvindblogs @sriharsha87 @namit93
  
• 16:02:16: Q6. Name the city AND the country http://yfrog.com/28w2nzj
  
• 16:06:33: I guess the tactic of asking for country to confuse you was #EPICFAIL. The "ring road" makes it obvious it's India.
  
• 16:08:05: A6. Jaisalmer in ...wait for it....India! Points to @lordfuqua @shriniwask @purnimarao
  
• 16:09:34: The ramparts make it obvious it's a fort. Yellow/golden in color. #youremember Shoner Kila
  
• 16:10:37: Q7. Heavily fastest-fingers-and-connections-first. Identify the structure. http://plixi.com/p/56517858
  
• 16:11:37: So far I've got Port-au-Prince Haiti as the response for Cheney's house as well as Jaisalmer. Funny. :)
  
• 16:12:39: A7. The Sphinx in Egypt. @aaruc @nayakgirin @lordfuqua score
  
• 16:15:12: Q8. Name the place/structure AND and city both http://yfrog.com/mzt0ruj
  
• 16:18:25: A8. The golden dome and the pond made it obvious - Golden Temple, Amritsar. Points to @anantha @shrihari @jiggy_bwoi
  
• 16:19:21: 8 qns done, 7 more to go. Leaders are @lordfuqua 10, @anantha 7 @aaruc 6@shriniwask 5.
  
• 16:21:39: Damn Twitter! http://twitter.com/#search?q=%40kweezzz is misbehaving @absolutdiamond's answer doesn't show up.
  
• 16:22:39: But seeing as @anantha himself admits she was first, the points for Q8 are revised to @absolutdiamond @anantha @shrihari
  
• 16:23:58: Sigh. Can't trust the seesmic timeline. Can't trust the twitter.com search timeline. What sort of a world are we living in?
  
• 16:24:39: Q9. Anyway, back to business. Identify this place. http://plixi.com/p/56519930
  
• 16:26:32: One of the tougher questions I see. Clue - Look at the shape of that shadow.
  
• 16:27:39: If we ever decide to register kweezzz as a company, we should headquarter it in Florida #getit
  
• 16:29:30: A9. That's the Rock of Gibraltar. Pts to @shriniwask @nitinsunny @jiggy_bwoi Provisionally of course, assuming the TL hasn't screwed up.
  
• 16:31:04: Q10. Give the (english) name of this monument. http://yfrog.com/85gkxj
  
• 16:34:04: Total #FML happening. Lots of you gave the correct answer of Q10 as your wrong response for Q9. Gotta comb the timeline for points.
  
• 16:36:17: A10. Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. points to @daddy_san @shriniwask @nayakgirin
  
• 16:39:25: Q11. Give me the name of the town or township AND the state. Responses with 2 or 3 digits not acceptable. http://yfrog.com/1nj2erj
  
• 16:42:17: Clarifying the digital clue-caveat. A descriptor with 2 digits is related to the location as is another with 3 digits. Don't want them tho.
  
• 16:44:47: A11. State - Pennsylvania, town - Shanksville (or Stoystown), township - Stonycreek. Site of the Flight 93 crash on 9/11.
  
• 16:45:24: Points to @cgawker (Pennsylvania's own!), @lordfuqua and @anantha
  
• 16:48:00: Q12. Identify the place. FYI, I have blacked out a little more than just the names. http://plixi.com/p/56523269
  
• 16:49:50: Since people are generally cracking this, I might as well reveal that I blacked out those tiny shadows cos they were a give-away.
  
• 16:51:22: A12. Indeed, the hillside Hollywood Sign. The shadows spelt it out hence the redaction. Pts to @lordfuqua @aaruc @cgawker
  
• 16:52:25: With 3 questions to go @lordfuqua is on 15, @shriniwask on 10 and @aaruc and @anantha on 8
  
• 16:53:37: Q13. Place and City please http://yfrog.com/n9pa2qj
  
• 16:55:38: ROFL! RT @theblueindian Las Vegas.. with some slums thrown in :P
  
• 16:56:53: Clue - Used as a location, typically for songs, in many Bollywood movies. Also as the location of a bank heist in at least one of them.
  
• 16:57:45: And before you folks run off to Baden-Baden or something, the place is in India. I thought the slums made that obvious.
  
• 17:02:51: @Jiggy_Bwoi Okay okay, I restore your point. khush?
  
• 17:03:34: A13. Bandra Kurla Complex or BKC. The round thing is the IL&FS building, shiny blue drum. The X is the ICICI Bank HQ.
  
• 17:04:00: Points to @namit93 @jimanish @lordfuqua
  
• 17:05:28: Sorry for the delay in between. Seesmic was refusing to update.
  
• 17:08:16: Q14. identify the building. The arrow points to the statue of a dude who gave the place wurdlwyde phyame. http://plixi.com/p/56526107
  
• 17:11:17: Clue - Thanks to the dude whose statue it is, more tourists come to see those steps on which the statue is, than what's inside the building.
  
• 17:12:49: Harvard Univ Library is a good guess. But a wrong one. I left the word "museum" there as a clue, so it's not a library.
  
• 17:14:22: A14. Philadelphia Museum of Art whose steps were made famous by Stallone as Rocky Balboa, whose statue it is.
  
• 17:14:58: Points to @cgawker (who got it way before anyone else), @sriharsha87 and @numbminded
  
• 17:17:05: 5 bonus points to @cgawker for getting it before the clue. And minus 5 for living in Philly. :P Last question coming up.
  
• 17:17:57: Q15. Final question. Name this island http://yfrog.com/bch3owj
  
• 17:18:20: @Jiggy_Bwoi I specifically asked for the name of the building.
  
• 17:21:31: A5. More Pennsylvania love for @shriniwask. That's Three Mile Island, the cite of the nuclear accident.
  
• 17:21:50: Points to @lordfuqua @nayakgirin @i_r_squared
  
• 17:24:21: The winners are 1. @lordfuqua 19, 2. @shriniwask - 10. For 3rd place, we have a 3-way tie - @anantha @aaruc @cgawker
  
• 17:25:09: For the championship purposes, we'd like to have a tie-break for 3rd place. Are @cgawker @aaruc @anantha around and willing?
  
• 17:25:42: If all 3 of @cgawker @anantha @aaruc are not around, we can have the tie-breaker tomorrow or later.
  
• 17:26:57: Alright, @cgawker @aaruc and @anantha are able and willing. Give me umm... 7 minutes to get the 3 TB qns ready.

• 17:37:50: TB2. Only for @cgawker @anantha @aaruc Identify the monument http://plixi.com/p/56530557
  
• 17:40:07: Not Taj Mahal, nor Rashtrapati Bhavan, not Capitol in DC. The monument is in India.
  
• 17:43:15: No one gets it. It's Victoria Memorial in Kolkata.
  
• 17:44:05: TieBreak3 Only for @cgawker @anantha @aaruc. I want all 3 - monument name, city, state. http://plixi.com/p/56531459
  
• 17:45:59: None of the 3 has given the complete correct answer yet. I want all 3 - the name of the monument (not named after the city), city, state
  
• 17:46:54: Alright, @cgawker gets it. It's the Gateway Arch (NOT St. Louis Arch), St. Louis, Missouri
  
• 17:47:11: So @cgawker wins the TB with 2 points and takes 3rd place.
