Thanks for the patience, ladies. With no further delay, here is your set of 10 questions. I've lifted them hook,line and sinker from the quiznet groups. So if you're a member there don't spoil the fun for the rest of the junta.



The theme for this quiz is that all the answers are in alphabetical order. By which i mean that the answer to the first question starts with an A, the second with a B etc. Obviously the tenth qs starts with a J.



Answers in three days or any amount of time i deem fit.



Q1) One of my personal fav qs. After a period of serious trouble following the death of the founder’s son, this famous company was bought in 1990 by Bernard Tapie, for $320 million, which Tapie borrowed. In 1992, Tapie was unable to pay interest of his loan. He asked the Crédit Lyonnais bank to sell the company, and the bank bought it for itself, which is normally forbidden under French law. In February 1993, Crédit Lyonnais sold the company to Robert Louis-Dreyfus, a friend of Bernard Tapie. In 2004, A Vertical Football Hoarding in Japan which won a Gold at Cannes. TBWA Tokyo painted a billboard like a football ground and mounted it on a high rise building. They then secured two men on top of the billboard with ropes and suspended them. They also suspended a football in the same manner. To the people from down below, it looked as though these 2 men are playing football in the sky!! Name the company and if possible the campaign too...



Q2) History of this drug dates as early as 3,000 B.C. much before recorded history. Long before it illegally became a drug the leaves were chewed by the Indians of Peru and other South American countries. Then considered as a gift of gods was used during religious rituals, burials and for other special purposes. The Spanish church authorities initially banned it because they were convinced the effects of the leaf resulted from a pact between the devil and the Indians. Smart me has put this second 'cos i'm sure everyone knows the street name but just to make this tougher i'd rather have the chemical name instead. So the answer is B________ ??



Q3) Easy one for the NRI junta or anyone else with a sharp GK. Which NBA team was named after the following quote by the British General Cornwallis, who when meeting resistance in North Carolina remarked, "There's a rebel behind every bush, it's a veritable nest of _______."



Q4) It is a parody of stereotypical American mass-produced beer: poor-quality, cheap, and advertised everywhere. Its chief competitor is Fudd Beer, which is considered very popular in Shelbyville. Identify the brand of beer. Sitter foks!



Q5) Scotland Yard's crime database is called home office large major enquiry system. As well, the training program is called "_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _" in honor of this great character. Fill in.



Q6) I am not really sure how true this is 'cos i've never bothered to notice but Net rumour has it that newscasters in CNN are fined $100 if they use this particular word on-air ! Which word ? (Ted Turner does have his say in such matters. In fact this particular rule is because of a direct order from the man himself.) Naughty.. Naughty question!!



q7)in 1894,sir dudley marjoribanks developed this and called it"the most excellent and pleasant companion for a gentleman's family".what?



q8)Which was the first company to file a patent for the "Sound" its product made? Workable now that the answer is H_________



q9) Another easy one for the beginners. This company was incorporated in 1911 as C – T – R company. What is its present name?



q10) To end with simple Pink Floyd trivia. Which song's final lines are: 'And what exactly is a dream? And what exactly is a joke?'





Since the qs are quite workable, do you really need to spoil the fun for yourself by googling??
