Daily Trivia 438 : Perspective is worth 90 points of IQ


Connect each of the above images ! (I know its a sitter but no missing links/part answers please)
A very Happy Holi to all the followers of our blog...have a fulfilling and colourful year ahead !!!

Answer - My first question ever which could not be cracked. Surprised !!!
Anyway, the images are: Alan Kay, an eminent Xerox PARC researcher and scientist who started the OLPC (logo depicted). He came up with the original idea of a laptop in 1968 which was not supported commercially by Xerox. Epson (tagline depicted) took up the idea and made the first ever portable computer. Quanta Computer(bottom left) is the largest OEM for Apple, Dell, Lenovo & all the major companies making laptops with a global market share of nearly 30%. The Alan Kay concept was called The Dyna, indicated by the Harley Davidson Dyna shown in the upper left image. The common theme, obviously is the Laptop Computer !!!

Daily Trivia #408 DryHex

After a series of treasure hunt updates, Utsavius and I decided to do a little quizzing of our own. Frankly, we're a bit tired of connects at the moment. So, here is a set of 6 dry questions. Hope you like them.

  • In 1849, the future President Abraham Lincoln, received patent 6,469 , for inventing what?
  • Digital, Trends, Wellness, Footprint, Jewels, TimeOut and Autozone. What am I talking about?
  • ID the logo of an IT major.

      


  • Who said to about whom?
  • Tumbled out of life as he had tumbled through it"
  • What is the most famous product shipped out of the Mikoyan-and-Gurevich Design Bureau?
  • What does Sydney and Melbourne have in common with New Delhi, in the field of transportation?
Everyone got the answers, except the last one.
Anyway, what I was expecting was : 
1.  Manner of buoying vessels.
2. Reliance Retails Stores
3. Patni Computer Systems
4. Stanley Lane-Poole about Humayun
5. MiG Figher Jets
6. All the cities have T3 terminals at their airports. :)
