March 2nd week

Here is the quiz for the first week of this series … and though there is no strict topic for the quiz …. I am a footballer .. so … Anyways here are the questions

1. Lazio stands tall with 3/3. AC Milan, Palermo and Perugia come second with 2/3. There are 12 other clubs in italy ,that have done this at least once. Inter is the only club to have won the seria A, stay in seria A for over 50 years and not be included in this list. Not that Lazio should actually be standing tall for being in this league. what dubious list are we talking about here ??

2. After that sitter this is a hard nut or is it?? Born on May 28, 1973, he is a businessman and a professional football player. The clubs he has played for Include Udinese where he played for ten minutes of a match. In 2003-04 he had played a match for Perugia after which he was tested positive for banned drug. After Udinese he moved on to Sampdoria where he played no matches at all. Hah but if you think what a waste of a football player, maybe….. he has given much to the game outside the pitch. He was a board member in Juventus. He is captain and president of his national football team. And for his business career, He along with the Libyan govt is planning a semi-autonomous city like Hong-Kong inside country. And if you guys can still not come to decide if he is a footballer or a businessman maybe you should ask Mr. Muammar al-Gaddafi. But that will be at your own risk.

3. This is easy …. Connect . Kristin Richards, Sheryl Crow, Tory Burch, Ashley Olsen, Kate Hudson and Anna Hansen.

4. He started the firm on September 16, 1908 as a holding company for a popular car manufacturer, and later on bought in many small companies including then famous Oakland. But due to a credit crisis in 1910 he lost the company to a group of bankers. After a few years he started another company which is still in business and through one of the most dramatic proxy wars in business took over his older company only to lose it again due to debt. Then DuPont business group took over and later on put Mr. Sloan as its president who brought in a system called Price pyramid and the slogan “ For every purse and purpose”. Which is the company and Who is the person ?? He was thought to be too much a genius to run a business !!!

5. Mr.X, one of the most influential persons in the modern history, asked another very influential person Mr. Y (though not as big as Mr.X) for a vehicle to carry 2 adults and three children at 100 Kmph. And the product ‘Z’ was voted the fourth most influential of its kind in the history of man. And what more, Mr.Y’s grandson inherited the small company which Mr.Y started later on in his career. He said his ambition is to take-over the bigger company since it was his grandfather who gave the bigger company, it’s big break. And he now owns 74% of the bigger company (it is 14 times bigger than his own small company) which made Z . What is X , Y and Z ?? It will be same as asking Which are the bigger and small companies ??

6. The name was proposed by Mr.X, a freelance copywriter, who was called by the company to figure out how to introduce its new product to the public. After he saw a prototype, he thought of the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey and the phrase “Open the pod-bay door, Hal!” which refers to the white EVA Pods of the Discovery One spaceship. And as with all the famous trademark names, this one, was also already registered, for internet kiosks by Joseph.N.Grasso of New Jersey. But the company in question was able to get the license transferred to their name as the internet kiosks had stopped by 2001. Which is the company in question and what is the name??

Okay now the whole lot is up … guys get cracking ….
