Three Questions (online quiz #7)
UPDATE: Questions shall now be put up on the blog every week (duration of posting may vary depending upon the number of questions involved), on Sundays. They will be in normal blogular format, with slides put up when necessary (for LVC's and what not).
This week's question contributors include:
(questions two and three) Keyser "man who is bound to bell that darned CAT" Sticky, and
(question one) myself.
1) Connect the two:
a) The X is a non-departmental public body of the United Kingdom government established in 2009 to regulate and inspect health and social care services in England. All health and adult social care providers that come within the future scope of registration are required to register with the X.
b) Y is a type of fighting in which small units engage the enemy with personal weapons at very short range, potentially to the point of hand-to-hand combat or fighting with hand weapons such as swords or knives. In the typical Y scenario, the attackers try a very fast, violent takeover of a vehicle or structure controlled by the defenders, who usually have no easy way to withdraw. Because enemies, hostages/civilians, and fellow operators can be closely intermingled, Y demands a rapid assault and a precise application of lethal force.
2) Who's this kid who might not have probably realized that he shot to fame when he did 19 years back?
3) Connect the picture and the Song 'Up to the Mountain' by Patty Griffin to a historic moment in Entertainment.
Feel free to leave your answers as a comment.
Answers will be revealed every Saturday.

A Long time coming.
Hello folks,
Yes, it's been ages since the blog was updated with a proper quiz.
Seeing how not a single quiz has been put up after the kickass WC quiz, and also how Themee @Soopy @ Sammy doesn't seem to have his full quiz at hand, let's start off with uploading a not-so-Shiva-KQA-hifunda quiz ( :D ) which was conducted by the Shtud for all seasons, on the 17th of October.
Due to large amounts of media, the quiz cannot be uploaded on slideshare, so rapidsharing it is.
Here's the link:
Cheers!
PS: the blog shall now be regularly updated with questions almost every other week. Contributions are most welcome. Let's get this back on track!

Tata Crucible 2010/Coimbatore
A weekday Business Quiz is what we crave for and if its Tata Crucible ,still the better and with the trend Giri has been setting on the questions in the crucible's this year,we were expecting quite a humdinger as there were lots of general quizzers around.So on 28th Sep the prelims of Tata Crucible Coimbatore started at The Residency sharply at 5.00(lets say 5ish) with a set of 20 questions.from around 50 Odd teams ,6 teams made it on stage :
1.Robert Bosch-Ranjana and Rahul
2.Swadisht Foods-Vishal and Arun.
3.The Chennai Silks-Yogesh Pai and Arul(Ashok)
4.The Bhansali's-Sheilen and Priya
5.CTS-Yaggy and Venkatesan
6.BV-Kalaiselvam and Sarvanan.
The Chennai Silks went into an early lead on the first round with an educated guess on Memorandum followed up with an outstanding guess on Statue of Liberty.But the next three rounds we were completely off target and even managing a -5 for the Omega Connect.In the meanwhile BV caught up and took the lead with some outstanding answers on the connect round
and especially the TTk one.
But in the final round ,we had the final say for marching towards the final with two fast answers on LV Prasad and hamdard and going into the lead played it safe on the final question on the starwberry which is 80% being produced by the Tata's near Munnar.Most of the teams got caught in the frenzy and went for the buzzer and lost marks.Eventually BV came second with a score of 30 and we came in first at 55 Points.Think so robert bosch came in third and the rest of the teams finished on 10 points each.
A dearth of audience questions but eventually our own Senthil-( as Sheilen put it,the God Father of quizzing in Coimbatore) did get a Goody bag for his efforts .
Just to add in here was the most silent protest that we did bring into the notice of Giri of the point mentioned in the tata crucible Website http://www.tatacrucible.com/corporate/content/rules.html about teams taking on a local team mate and participating,which in sense makes it very unfair for teams from Chennai to take on a local coimbatore team mate and take part.So this eventually means coimbatore will lose on say about 2-3 teams from this region being on stage and which was the case this time also with two cases of people from chennai being on stage when actually those spaces could have gone to teams from coimbatore who would have prepared for this event>our final request to Giri was to take this up with the Tata's the next year and make it very clear for outstation teams not taking part.
So here goes the prelims questions and even though we do remeber some of the final questions we will stop with the prelims for the time being.
1.in 1932 which newspaper was started ,free press journal and the founder delivered the newspaers himself by van?-Indian Express
