TRIVIUM 2.0QM: EESHAAN K. VERNEKARSAIDEEP BHOSLE

Round 1Go Go Go...

1A special ODI between NZ and WI on 3rd April, Georgetown. This match is well known for something which has never happened in ODI history till date. On the slowest imaginable pitch, New Zealand started at breakneck speed: they were 90 for three after only 13.2 overs. Rather than curb their scoring-rate and save wickets, they charged on - to apparent disaster, all out for 158 with 14 overs unused.

Simmons was later fined for intimidatory appealing. West Indies needed only 3.2 an over, but again slow-medium New Zealand bowling, backed by inspired fielding, steadily cut through the batting. Even so, Holder looked capable of steering them through. But with only five runs needed and one over left, Cairns bowled Walsh to complete an astonishing four-run victory.

TELL ME THE MAN OF THE MATCH.

8 Currently ranked second in the world, Saina is one of India's biggest sporting icons. She reflects the aspirations of millions of Indians and has a huge following of fans cutting across demographics. That same support, however, is missing when she plays abroad. Star Sports came up with a new initiative to support Indian badminton ace Saina Nehwal in the BWF World Superseries finals in Dubai last December. The broadcaster is recruiting 20 passionate Indian fans to join the 'X Y', an ensemble of Saina supporters, who will be flown to Dubai to cheer on the shuttler.

9"Some farmers said that X also were damaging their crops in fields in hilly areas", Goa's Agriculture Minister Ramesh Tawadkar was quoted by the media. Mr. Tawadkar was proposing that X be reclassified as vermin making them easy to cull. Recently Goa Minister for Environment and Forests Rajendra Arlekar has categorically ruled out the possibility of X, and the Indian bison, the Goa state animal, being added to a list of vermin. Identify X.

Who directed Apples 1984 ad?

Ridley Scott

Set in a dystopian future modelled after George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, Scott's advertisement used its heroine (portrayed by English athlete Anya Major) to represent the coming of the Macintosh (indicated by her white tank top adorned with a picture of the Apple Macintosh computer) as a means of saving humanity from "conformity" (Big Brother), an allusion to IBM, at that time the dominant force in computing. Apple spent over $1M over this.
