Guest question by GQHero Logik.

In the audio clip you can listen to some routine activity. The sound has been post processed to bring it down to the human audible frequency range.

[audio:03apr10qsound.mp3]
Id this activity.
To help matters, this sound can be detected/recorded using instruments of the kind shown in the image. This instrument has seen military applications as well, mostly for detecting sounds in its niche domain. Id the instrument.

Super-toughie, seemingly cracked only by Rogi! Great job, sir!

Check out logik’s comment for the answer!.

Rogi and Logik


Weekend special

3 guest questions. You can post answers on a single comment. 1 point for every correct answer.

  1. From sidsen

Slightly hard core question straight for the dedicated and the fan boys. The picture is a fan boy creation tribute to a particular character (apparently the third most popular one in its line, and the unofficial sad and depressed mascot of the group), which in turn (that is the particular character the fan boy tribute is a tribute to) was created as a parody/tribute nod to another frog from a really famous (but annoying) game.

Give me the famous (annoying) game.

  1. Raghuvansh has meticulously put together this video question (he has done the video edits too!)

Video (A) shows X (easy!) talking about a supposedly major turning point (Y) in his career in an “interview” on the show Z. Clips from Y are interspersed. The video has been edited heavily to avoid making the answer too obvious.

Connect the whole setup to the gentleman in the image (B).

A.

B.
