We quiz.

Devadutta and me, we used to engage in this weird activity known as quizzing. Quizzing, if you didn’t know, basically involves a quizmaster (usually a totally pompous guy who’s convinced he’s god) asking a bunch of participants (also totally pompous guys who’re convinced they’re gods) a series of questions. Most of these questions would have absolutely no consequence, no real life value, and were a complete waste of time. But we loved it.

We did show a slight affinity to quizzes with a geeky slant. The more the questions about Google and Star Wars, the more answers we could get. But these so called tech-quizzes are few and far between. So, to attempt to make up for this lack, we have decided to put up a few “tech quiz” questions on this blog.

The rules are quite simple:

• We ask
• You answer
• We tell if you’re right or wrong

So, let’s kick start things off with this one: What is special about this image ?

This is, obviously, a photograph of a band called Les Horribles Cernettes (a parody band that was founded at CERN). Back in the day, Tim Berners-Lee was looking for an image to post on his newfangled “internet” concept, and used this picture of some of the early members of LHC, thus making this the first picture ever seen through a web browser on the WWW.
