Hi All,

  There will be a Business Quiz - Prashnottari, as part of the Annual
B-school Event Paragana 2008, at the Narsee Monjee Institute of Management
Studies (NMIMS), Mumbai.  The details are as follows :

  Date :     16th November,2008 (Sunday)

  Timings :  6 pm

  Venue :   The Quadrangular, NMIMS

  Prizes :   1st - Rs 30K, 2nd - 20k

  Quiz Master : Amit Pandeya ( The Quiz Master can be contacted at
amit.pandeya@... )


  Further details about the Quiz at http://www.paragana.com/quiz.html


  Some of the Questions, that I asked at my previous Quizzes :


1.   Dell was refused the Trademark for this term as the patent office found
it to be generic. The ideas of trademarking arose in the first place because
Dell had purchased this domain name. The term derives from the familiarity
of this shape, that for years has been used in most technical presentations.
  2.  The Santhali edition of "X" in 2004, was the first in its genre, to be
published in a tribal language.  Its international imprint was released in
the Sinhala language by President Jayawardene in 1978.  Its English-Tamil
bilingual edition, was once sponsored by the Singapore Tamil Teachers Union.
  Name "X", which has Mr Ruskin Bond as one of its editorial advisors ?

3.   " The World Mural Project " stemmed from its CEO's challenge of giving
back one million employee volunteer hours in 2008 to celebrate it 40th
anniversary. It's created a Web-based digital art piece that included visual
and written contents from its Clubhouses around the world involving more
than 500 young people in 21 countries. The creative process was overseen by
the renowned digital muralist Favianna Rodriguez.  Name this Organization ?

  4.  Bristol, London and Southampton were declared to be the ' fittest
cities ' in the UK, by the fitness magazine - Men's Health.  Incidentally,
the European online auction site TeleBid, found that the residents of these
cities bought more copies of 'X' than other cities. The charm of X, cut
across all demographic profiles, so much that its manufacturer found it
difficult to keep up with the demand.  Identify X ?

Dear Quizzers,�

Here's presenting you the 17th edition of the QuizNation Quiz. Here are the
first five questions of the quiz.
�
1. This company is one of the world's largest apparel companies. It was
established first as �The Reading Glove and Mitten Manufacturing Company� in
Pennsylvania in October of 1899 by John Barbey and a group of investors. The
company was started with only $11,000 and a 320 square foot factory that was
leased for $60/month. It owns brands like Lee and Jansport. Name it.
�
2. Steven Spielberg originally approached this company with the idea of product
placement of one of its products in his movie, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. The
company declined the offer. Spielberg later approached the Hershey Chocolate
Company with the idea to use Reese's Pieces instead. They agreed, and their
sales tripled a week after the movie premiered. Name the company that refused
the offer.
�
3. Designed in1934, this product was introduced the next year in a Marshall
Field & Company display window. The store management thought it ludicrous to be
displaying the product when the worst blizzard of the winter was hitting
Chicago. They ordered the display to be removed. Before the display could be
taken down, six hundred packs of the product were sold. 30,000 pairs were sold
in the next 3 months and the rest is history.
�
4. This term was possibly coined by Jaron Lanier in 1989. Lanier is one of the
pioneers of the field, founding the company VPL Research which built some of the
first systems in the 1980s. In practice, it is very difficult to create a
convincing experience of this sort, largely due to limitations on processing
power. However many science fiction books and movies have imagined characters
being �trapped� in such a situation. Name this term.
�
5. He attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on an academic
scholarship from the Pullman railroad car company. He graduated with his
bachelor's degree in engineering in 1958, and then went to work for the Douglas
Aircraft Company. He eventually moved to Motorola.
�
He was a salesman at Fairchild Semiconductor in the 1960s. He was one of the
company's best sales people and was famous for style and flair. He then
co-founded a company and took his trademark style into his position as its CEO.
�
Around 1980, he was responsible for a licensing deal that made his company a
second source to IBM in its field. At the end of the company's first $1 million
quarter, he stood by the door of the company and handed a $100 bill to every
employee as they left. Every employee at the company got stock options, a huge
innovation at the time.
�
�
For rest of the questions please visit www.quiznation.blogspot.com�
The answers can be posted/mailed to quiznation@....
The quiz is open till�Sunday 10th�November 2008�

Yours Sincerely,
Deepak Nair

Hi AllHere are the answers and scores  to the Independence Quiz. You can view
the pic and video questions on
http://fundaez.blogspot.com/2008/08/hi-all-here-is-quiz-based-on-indian.html1.
Who has written this great poem?
Video

Ans.:Bismil Azimabadi and popularised by Pandit Ram Prasad Bismil, the
mastermind in the Kakori Train Robbery
(I have taken only Bismil Azimabadi as correct answer)

2. In the Independence Struggle of India, what has been described as "Operation
Trojan Horse"?

Ans.: According to a book released on October 28th, 2007 named "Some Hidden
Facts: Martyrdom of Shaheed Bhagat Singh", it carries the subtitle “Secrets
unfurled by an Intelligence Bureau Agent of British-India”, written by
K.S.Kooner, the ‘execution’ of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev marked the
execution of a conspiracy code-named “Operation Trojan Horse”, which, in
effect, facilitated the pacification of the British officers in general and the
prospective in-laws of the late J P Saunders in particular. Accordingly, Bhagat
Singh and his associates did go through the formality of ‘hanging’ but only
to the extent of breaking their necks; semi-conscious, they were taken to the
Lahore Cantonment where the ‘Death Squad’, comprising Saunder’s family,
shot them to quench their thirst for revenge.
Since doing all this during day time could have invited a violent reaction from
the people, the ‘execution’ was performed at night; for the same reason, the
bullet-ridden bodies were neither sent for postmortem nor handed over to the
relatives. Instead, most surreptitiously, these were taken in a lorry to a
pre-fixed isolated place on a kutcha-road (6 miles away from Lahore, on the
right bank of the Beas where it meets the Sutlej) and burnt to ashes. And, to
put the people on the wrong track, some flesh and bones were half burnt and
buried on the western bank of the Sutlej, near Hussainiwala. Two Indian agents
were sent to Lahore to pose as volunteers and tell the Congress people that they
had seen at Ganda Singh Wala a big burning pyre from a distance. 

Believing the story, some people (including Bhagat’s sister Bibi Amar Kaur)
reached the ‘hot’ spot, dug up the flesh and half-burnt bones (plus one big
broken but uncharred bone which they surmised must have been the arm of Bhagat
Singh, the tallest of the three) that lay buried there, and took these back to
Lahore where the half-burnt stuff was ‘properly’ cremated on the bank of the
Ravi in the midst of sloganeering crowds, all in tears. 

This was precisely what the ‘Operation Trojan Horse’ meant to achieve —
the British way of denying the martyrs the honour of a glorious farewell by the
people.

PIC
Ans.: Pic one is Pingali Venkaiyyah.
                Pic two is Sachin Tendulkar.

Extra Funda: Blighty is an English slang term for Britain, deriving from the
Hindustani word Vilayati.

7.One of the most capable of the rebel leaders, his pseudonym meant, in part,

8. 'Na Iran ne Kiya, Na Shah Russ Nei, Angrez ko tabah kiya Kartoosh Ne'. What
does this refer to?

had to be bitten before firing. The story goes that one day a Brahmin sepoy
refused a low caste labourer a drink of water from his 'lota'. "You will soon

soaked in pork and cow fat. And then where will your caste be?" said the
labourer.
