    But little did I realize the pub is overflowing today with patrons roistering , spilling the wine of trivia and smashing records of bottled puns!


    "Can you please let me in?"
    "What?! I need to grab a token and queue"
    "What?! the waiting time is 2 hours to get entry into such coveted place even under VIP quota"
    "Rules have changed now?"


    Is there any concession if I answered the random question while creating the account successfully second time:

    =======================

    Random Question: National animal of India
    Lion ? [Incorrect]
    Tiger [Correct]

    ========================

    Random Question: Is 'Rupees' the currency of India - Type "Yes" or "No"
    Objection I think it is Rupee why plural? [Incorrect]
    Yes [Correct]

    ========================

    Am I not eligible having passed the account creation with distinction? Not enough? Tell me what what do I produce to enroll as a member of this unrecognisable and esteemed club. Can someone brush me up because I need to flare up my limp and frayed neurons to make a re-entry.


    P.S: There was a one-member committee, sorry 2-member , no actually four , wait the exact count is 6-member committee with menacing threatens, seductions of broth and cream soups, and pastries, and merited badges and neurite PR (wow! when was that introduced) to awaken me from my hibernation.

    Answer to puzzle #2874

    Glad that everyone got the puzzle. It is difficult to hide a popular person and at the same time give enough clues.

    Person: Kalpana Chawla

    Clues:
    1. Devanand's marriage photo: Devanand's wife is Kalpana Karthik. She was an actress and has given a few hits with Devanand. Chose the marriage photo as i thought it would be easier for people not familiar with bollywood.
    2. Collin Powell's address to UN and Saddam Hussien: This was a timeline clue. Another incident occurring in the world at the same time when a significant incidents happens in the life of the person under consideration.

I lived on the opposite side of the AMES center and had also met a person who had worked with Kalpana. So MV is dear to me. Also, my bday happens to be 7th Nov.

    It is indeed a great achievement to pool of ambitious and bumbling kindergartens who claimed to take over the world one day.
