Identify the people in A and B, and connect them with the object in C. The connect is a specific event in the history of science/technology

A) B)

C)

And, as an additional clue (and to add some spice to the question):

This is definitely not a “core CS” question :-)

Almost everyone who attempted identified A and B right, and came close to the connect. I’m going to be somewhat generous.

On the dot:
jayanth, Bikiran, udupendra, nihit, Archana and rishabh

Came really close:
devadutta, Shashank, Abhinav, Poornima, Bikiran, Anuj, sai_ganesh, karthik, Abhishek, bs, dingdong and yaksha

Abhinav(2), jayanth, Biki, udupendra, Shashank, nihit, Poornima, Biki, Anuj, sai_ganesh, karthik, Abhishek, Archana, bs, rishabh, dingdong and yaksha

We have a guest question for the day. This question comes to you courtesy Prabhu. Thanks a lot dude, and keep ’em coming!

BTW, I’d just like to say that we love guest questions! Send in any questions that you think will befuddle, bamboozle and otherwise baffle our readers to [email protected] and we’ll review them and put them up (if they meet our exacting standards ;-) )

Note: Don’t forget, there’s a Geek Quiz at the Daly Memorial Hall, Bangalore on August 26th at 2PM. The quiz is organized by the over-bright people at the KQA, so its guaranteed to be a helluva lot of fun. Our advice: be there!

Cracked by everyone… Chargesheeted: Anuj, Bigfoot, Bikiran, Prasad, Abhishek, Nihit, udupendra, Jayanth and Shashank.

Anuj, BiGFooT, Biki, Prasad, Abhishek, nihit, udupendra, jayanth and Shashank

We have all studied the first man’s theory in high school physics classes. He won a Nobel prize in Physics for that.
His son (the other man) also won a Nobel prize in Physics and made his father really proud.
Identify this famous father-son pair.

We also see some new users. Welcome!!

I will just quote Yaksha for the answer.
“Niels and Aage Bohr.
And the theory is the Bohr’s theory.
in 1975 Aage Bohr along with other two scientists were awarded Nobel Prize in Physics, for research on the quantum mechanical description of nucleons orbiting inside an oscillating rotating droplet.

Identify, and connect the two images below to the field of math/CS. Make your connect as specific as possible:

This picture depicts a concept, which is a very powerful programming technique.
Identify the technique. Also, tell us what is special about this picture.

Our friends at the KQA are conducting a technical quiz at the Daly Memorial Hall, Bangalore on August 26th at 2pm. Please be there. We love KQA quizzes and since you are reading this blog, you will surely enjoy them too.

Hema and Poornima** got the specialty part. Abhinav came very close.**

Thought I would go a little into geek canon for this question. Connect everything:

**Mark 3:11 **- Whenever the unclean spirits saw Him, they would fall down before Him and shout, “You are the Son of God!”

Mark 14:14 - and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is My guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples

Mark 6:16 - But when Herod heard [of it], he kept saying, “John, whom I beheaded, has risen!”

Mark 14:62 - And Jesus said, “I am; and you shall see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN.”

Mark 3:9 - And He told His disciples that a boat should stand ready for Him because of the crowd, so that they would not crowd Him;

Mark 13:32 - But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father [alone].

I need the overall funda for this connect. Individual explanations for each point are not strictly needed.

Tip: Think bold. Google smart.

His initials can be found as the magic number for one of the first file formats Microsoft churned out.

Now for the not-so-important stuff.
We try to make the questions as “un-googleable” as possible, but Google is smart and you are smarter, so we place no restrictions on how you arrive at the answer. We are just interested in the

prabhu_dc, Anuj and Biki

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.
