Question 57:Whatsitznehm??














Gimme the name of this plane

Answered by Rahul Raghuraman and Debashish. This plane has been christened Ed Force One

There were a few takers for Astraeus , but Astraeus is the name of the Airline, which charters out aircrafts, whose services were used by Iron Maiden for their 'Somewhere back in time' tour.This craft, used by the band has the specific name 'Ed Force 1'. Astraeus is close, but not quite there.

40:A simple song question!

This song and music video have been interpreted as a rebuttal to criticism of the baby boomer generation, from both its preceding and succeeding generations, that they were responsible for much of the world's problems.
The singer explained that he wrote this song due to his interest in history. He commented that he would have wanted to be a history teacher if he had not become a musician. Unlike other songs, the lyrics were written before the melody, owing to the somewhat unusual style of the song (most of the lyrics describe events, places and people.)
Released in 1989, the song was a huge commercial success.
Very easy question. Name the song and the singer.

Answer: "We didn't start the fire" by Billy Joel
