1.The California Products Corporation,a manufacturer of ‘environmental containment coatings’, has two competing divisions.One division has had ‘attention’ focused on its most famous product during a fortnight in August-September every year since 1978. The other division’s product has enjoyed similar ‘attention’ every January, since 2007. Either identify these products or tell me where these products are in use.

2.The Separation of Light and Darkness, The Creation of the Sun and the Moon and the firmaments, the creation of Adam and Eve, the Fall, Noah’s Sacrifice and the Drunkenness of Noah are sequences at which famous location?

3.At Beijing 2008, in the Rhythmic Gymnastics group event for women, the Israel didn’t win any medal. The team comprising of Olena Dvornichenko, Katerina Pisetsky, Maria Savenkov, Rahel Vigdozchik & Veronika Vitenberg finished 6th, but got much media attention in India. Why?

4.To make the kiswah, you need 670 kilograms of pure silk. This quantity is turned into 47 panels of cloth, each of a length of 14 metres. Other requirements include 120 kgs gold and about 50 kgs silver for lettering. The kiswah measures 658 square metres and costs about 17 million in the local currency. What is the kiswah?

5.While bouncers are very common now, in 1893 it would have been unthinkable for a bowler to use those tactics as it was used in this historic match. The umpire would have surely objected. Also, matches with only one innings a side are a relatively recent occurrence. In the late 1890s even friendly matches lasting only 1-2 days had 2 innings each, so it is very unlikely that this match would last only 1 innings. Also, even if the match lasted one innings each, as long as the chasing team didn’t lose all their wickets, if they hadn’t scored as much as the team batting first, they wouldn’t lose the match, simply draw it. What are we rambling about?
