The Quiz Club at BITS Pilani, Goa campus was started to get together like minded individuals with a passion for trivia and quizzing in general. We plan on putting up several questions and details about quizzes taking place. As our tagline puts it, when you aren't able to crack an answer,then do what any self respecting quizzer would do and say 'Aiyo! I almost knew this one!'

It's a simple connect, trust me!
The US Civil War
I'd forgotten about this question, until I found people Buzzing on it. The guy is General Thomas Sumter, US Revolutionary War hero, after whom, Fort Sumter is named. The building is the Appomattox Court House, in Appomattox, VA. The Battle of Fort Sumter was the first battle of the US Civil War, while the Battle of Appomattox Court House was the last. Not cracked by anyone (again?).

All you have to do is register for this event, and we promise that you will stop whining about your grandfather's apparent lack of tech-savvy-ness and start whining about why newspapers should have keep the business section after the sports section, rather than vice-versa.

Could it just be?
This is a tribute to?
Sniff. Sob. Cracked, in fact, Shattered by Ajachi and TR. Dont throw accusatory looks at me. It was just plain old coincidence that there were two 'The Who' questions in a week. I dont even listen to the Who. But when you see something like this on the internet, you just cant resist putting it up.

126:And now for something completely different...
Connect these three.
Answer:
The connect is The Decalogue - the Ten Commandments given to Moses.
The first pic is Ambrose Bierce, who wrote a satirical poem called The Decalogue. The second one is the logo of the National Rifle Association, which was for a long time headed by Charlton Heston, who played Moses in The Ten Commandments. And the third pic is Krzysztof Kieślowski, acclaimed Polish director of Dekalog, a series of ten movies, each based on a particular commandment.
Not cracked by anyone, though I'm curious how these could have anything to do with covert US assassination plots.
VIBGYOR?

Incredible!
It is believed this was performed by Prophet Muhammed to convince Quraysh(???) of his prophethood. Another traditional belief is that the pagan meccans asked Muhammed for a miracle and he performed this. It is also believed that the incident will repeat on the day of the final judgement. When Islam was brought to India by Malik Bin Deenar, he used this incident as proof of Muhammeds prophethood and the King Cheraman Perumal bhaskar Ravi Varma then consulted his astrologers who reported a similar phenomenon recorded by them. What is this incident so widely used to prove the prophethood of Muhammed?
