Dibyo's 500 point quiz

—srikanth @ November 2, 2009

Congratulations are in order to Dibyo who recently reached (and crossed) the 500 point mark! Great work Mr D!

To mark and celebrate this, we contacted him for a question and he replied. However, he’s not sent one question, he’s sent nine. Yes, nine! And they’re not just “direct” questions, they are of a special format.

Dibyo’s 500 point quiz is a Stage-3 format quiz!

Format:
So, the format of this quiz: there are a total of nine questions. The answers to the first three questions are connected to each other (say C-1). The answers to the next three are connected (say C-2) and the final three are connected (say C-3). Further, C-1, C-2, and C-3 are connected, and this connect is the so-called “stage-3”.

Rules, points:
We will be posting three questions per day (all 3 questions in one post). So on each day, you can potentially win 4 points (1 for each answer + 1 point for the connect of the day). If you can get the stage-3 answer on day 1, you get 3 points. If you can get it on day 2 you get 2 points, and a single point for getting it on day 3. No negative marks for wrong guesses. One guess every day max. Please post your stage-3 guesses and as SEPARATE comments from your daily answers!


So, without further ado, here’s Set 1:

Set 1 » Question 1:

Set 1 » Question 2

Identify the logo

Set 1 » Question 3:
