Visual Bytes # 1

Ok.this is a set of some interesting Audio visual questions i compiled.Try them out n send me your feed back.

1.

There is a lot of history in the painting shown below by an unknown artist.But i am afraid i'll give away too much if i go into it. I'll give one lead though . Dr.A.P.J Abdul Kalam was thrilled and inspired when he viewed this particular painting at the Woolridge Artillery Museum near London many years ago .Now, tell me what is being shown in the painting.


2.
In March 2001, a decree declared,"Based on the verdict of the clerics and the decision of the Supreme Court of the Islamic in should be destroyed because these statues have been used as idols and deities by the non-believers before. Only God, the Almighty, deserves to be worshiped, not anyone or anything else." Which ancient structure, whose destruction has been caught on film here, became an unfortunate victim to this crude proclamation?


3.
Identify the pretty lady and the very 'corporate' men and find the unique connection.










4.Connect the pictures belowa few have descriptions.


An 18th century Englishman




A quiet coastal village in Somerset, England.








A famous Scottish author.




Nah, just identify this guy.He's the leading part of the connection.

5.In case you are fortunate enough to have a broad band connection please attempt this question.The video is of Yanni's live perfomance at the Acropolis .The question here is to identify the particular piece shown here.







6.


Identify this famous Time Person of the Year and what is he famous for?








7.
Connect the three men shown below.Now, there is one more person who should be there in this list but then i couldnt find him anywhere on Google .An easy one this.




8.


Identify this Logo.The company in reference ,i believe ,had this as their chief logo during 1996-99.I must say this is one of their many logos.


9.
Since we're into Logos i guess i'll give one you more.This one i got for the prelims at TCS IT WIZ 2007 . However , its the sheer ingenuity of the logo design that caught my attention . Of course , this one is a sitter for any game freak.



10.
I'll close with one last visual event.Identify the fellow on stage and what is happening.


To work it out ill give two more clues.




clue i )










Two buildings in a Californian Valley.





clue ii )

A 1980s Ad

Thats all for now.Catch you next time.

ADIOS.
