Consequently, a "skirmish" denotes a clash of small scope between these forces.In general, a skirmish was a limited combat, involving troops other than those of the main body.The term "______" was not in widespread use in the United States until after the American Civil War.So what is this now commonly used term??????

ok so pulkit has got 5 and 6 right.....vats has nailed 2,4,5 and 8....in ques 3 the game is correct but i want name of the castle..............dreadlord has all correct attempts
imp note: i think this is a lil' bit difficult quiz so we can keep a wager on it.....anyone who solves all the questions within a week from today will get a special cash prize of Rs50 from me,but i need a good explanation for each question and net usage is open too...it may help u in some of the questions but try to answer yourself.all of them are easily gettable and ive provided hints for 1 and 9 in their pictures, enlarge them to have a better look....best of luck to you all.....

odysseus said...

by the way a brilliant answer by vatsan....i thought zion was my toughest question.

udit veer said...

sad... so many answered b4 i cud even attempt... blame it on batlle of the ANDY's in d wimbledon semi-final...

well ill try an answer d one which have yet not been answered...

1)well.. r u referring to d grammy award winning latin singer named INDIA ... d 3rd one is her pic 4rm one of her album covers.. u have written d english translation of our national anthem where her name shud be i.e. INDIA

7) "skirmiser" refers to d infantry .. d lightly armoured cavalry soldiers who stand in front of d their army in d battle..

9)NIRVANA.. the clues in d pic helped a lot... it means blowing out

1st pic shows d poster of d movie named nirvana

n d 2nd pic shows d pipal tree or d BODHI ( englightement) tree situated in bodh gaya ...under which lord buddha attained enlightnment.. nirvana is a concept of buddhism..

10 )1st pic .. may be of Amon Goth , the brutal nazi officer who runs d concentration camp in Plaszow . where oskar schindler had set up his factory

2nd pic.. may be of Itzhak Stern , oskar schindler's accountant

3rd pic .. id certainly of oskar schindler himself ( i donno how i remember his face)

well d connect can be oskar schindler .. the great man who saved many jews by giving dem redundant jobs in his factory n helping dem escape d holocaust or cud be d movie Schindler's list

Hawk said...

Is the first answer 'Slumdog Millionaire'?.
The three pics can easily lead to Pussycat Dolls, and the hint you've given translates to 'Jana Gana Mana Adhinayak' from the national anthem, with 'Jaya He' missing. And 'Jai Ho' is the song they remixed from Slumdog.

Hawk said...

Oh and I found the answer to Q7 on Wiki, as you said net usage was open. The term is 'Sniper'. And there was no way for us to get that!! There's no relation between a skirmisher and a sniper!!!

udit veer said...

dear sparrow.... i totally agree wid u..d skirmisher question is toooo vague n misleading..as d term skirmisher was used 4 oder technical warfare terms too..as it evolved into a sniper n also cavalry n infantry..which was more related to its original usage... n both d data is on wiki....

i guess dis is what happens when we rely too much on wiki 4 question formation.. dey get misleading n ambiguous...

n i hpe d logic behind answer to question 1 is nt what u gave... n if it is.. i hpe ders more to d logic.... coz d 3rd pic denotes a singer who i donot think has nething to do wid pussycat dolls...n has a lot to do wid INDIA , its her name..

m interested in knowing who is d girl in d first pic.. coz she is definitely not a pussycat doll

udit veer said...

well i would like to modify mi answer to question 10 a bit


pic 1:- Claus von Stauffenberg, one of the key plotters of the July 20, 1944 plot by German army officers to assassinate Adolf Hitler.... d person on whom d movie VALKYRIE is based...

PIC 2:- Wladyslaw Szpilman...Jewish-Polish pianist, composer, and memoirist. protagonist film The Pianist, w based on his autobiographical book recounting how he survived the Holocaust.

pic 3:-is of oskar schindler..German industrialist. who saved Jews during the Holocaust by employing them in his factories,located in Poland .. d movie SCHINDLER 'S LIST IS BASED ON HIM


and the connect is dat all 3 personalities are immensely famous holocaust stories ...and all 3 have movies made after dem recounting their holocaust experinces

odysseus said...

so at last all the answers have been found and i would like to congratulate udit and pulkit for a splendid effort............the answers in right order with logic are as follows:

1.)the answer is India....the pictures are of the grammy award winning singer,the cat of g.w.bush and a pornstar named india.....the lines indeed are English translation of our national anthem.

2.)Monopoly
3.)the correct answer is Wolf's lair bunker of Adolf hitler.
4.)Hara-kiri
5.)Kill-bill
6.)Rorshach
7.)now this question led to some controversy.i wanted to frame a question on snipers and i didnt want to get any fact wrong so i used exact words from wikipedia....although sniper wasnt too tough an answer and again skirmishers aren't any ordinary infantry they are the infantry having ranged weapons and if you know that then you it was easy to figure out sniper as the answer unless ofcourse u use WIKIPEDIA to search for skirmisher and read only Ist line of the article.
8.)Zion or Zionism..vatsan explained the right funda.
9.)Nirvana is totally correct another brilliant answer by udit veer.in the movie pic some lines from man who sold the world are given....
10.)Again personalities connect correctly identified by udit in his last post.......

so it was a nice experience of this and you people never fail to amaze me with such great answers.....now im looking forward to the time when we can meet & have the real thing once again.......until then
HAPPY QUIZZING
