QUESTION 2
Mark Waugh has had a great test career but it
wasn’t always smooth sailing for him. He started
off with a fine century on debut against England
in 1990-91. However, a couple of years later in
SL, he ran into trouble, bagging successive pairs
in Colombo and Moratuwa, earning him the
temporary nickname “X”. His teammates
generously pointed out that had there been
another test, he may well have ended up being
renamed “Y”. X = ? Y= ?
ANSWER 2
X = Audi
Y = Olympic
QUESTION 3

have been a more appropriate title, given its
villainous nature and the expense it is
causing.” X = ? Z = ?
ANSWER 3
X = The God Particle
Y = Higgs Boson
Z = The Goddamn Particle

QUESTION 7
The characters A and B are based on the minor characters
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, who are messengers whom X
outwits and has killed. In Tom Stoppard’s play, Rosencrantz and
Guildenstern are Dead, they are childhood friends of X, are
portrayed as two clowns or fools in a world that is beyond their
understanding; they cannot identify any reliable feature or the
significance in words or events. Their own memories are not
reliable or complete and they misunderstand each other as they
stumble through philosophical arguments while not realizing the
implications to themselves. The play is structured as the inverse
of X; the title characters are the leads, not supporting players, and
X himself has only a small part. The duo appears on stage here
when they are off-stage in X, with the exception of a few short
scenes in which the dramatic events of both plays coincide. Who
are A and B?
ANSWER 7
Timon and Pumbaa
The Lion King 3 is inspired by Stoppard’s

Paol Pandolfi from the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer
Center (MSKCC) in New York City, said the gene is unique in
that it is needed for other oncogenes to cause cancer.

issue of Nature. However, the center ran into trouble by the
