   Like some other reviewers I probably wouldn't recommend going
    out of your way to visit this museum, but if you happen to be
    passing by, it's worth the reasonable entry fee to spend 30
    minutes or so in the bowels of Paris. I was worried about walking
    on the open grating, but I got over it and found it quite
    interesting. It will certainly be a talking point when we get home
    and I am currently reading ‘Les Miserables’ although I haven't got
    to the bit where they go down into the __________ yet. However,
    it will be much easier to picture now that I have seen them.

   Visitor review on tripadvisor.com. FITB OR What is the museum
    dedicated to? Image in the next 2 slides.

   It is a traditional gesture of greeting, in which a girl or
    woman bends her knees while bowing her head. In more
    formal variants, the girl/woman bends the knees outward

    her. She may also use her hands to hold her skirt out from
    her body.

   Dancing mania was a phenomenon that occurred primarily in
    mainland Europe between the 14th-17th centuries. Thousands of
    people danced hysterically, sometimes for weeks.

   One of the proposed etiologies for the same is envenomation
    from the bite of a X. This is also believed to have lead to the
    name and development of Y, one of the most famous and
    recognized European dances. The Y is commonly accompanied
    by a mandolin, a guitar, an accordion and tambourines. The
    dancer and the instrumentalist constantly try to upstage each
    other by dancing longer or playing faster than the other.

   Identify X and Y. Image of a Pieter Brueghel painting featuring
    the phenomenon in the next slide.

   X is a small peninsula (within the larger Jutland peninsula) in
    Southern Schleswig in the northern Schleswig-Holstein,
    Germany, protruding into the Bay of Kiel. One of the
    common theories behind the origin of the name X is that the
    landform resembles the shape of a hook on the map. Natives
    of X migrated to another region between the 4th and 6th
    centuries. This new region, its people and their language all
    came to be named after these migrants.

   Name X/the natives/new region/language.

   In 1990, a US physician named Frank Meshberger noted that the background
    figures and shapes in X appeared to be an anatomically accurate picture of
    the human brain.

   The borders correlate with major sulci of the cerebrum in the inner and outer
    surface of the brain, the brain stem, the frontal lobe, the basilar artery, the
    pituitary gland and the optic chiasm. There appears to be communication
    present, just as neurons transmit biochemical information across synaptic
    clefts. One of the major characters is superimposed over the limbic system,
    the emotional center of the brain and possibly the anatomical counterpart of
    the human soul. The active part of this character extends to the prefrontal
    cortex, the most creative and most uniquely human region of the brain.

   Just identify X.

    Herded into rows forced to march,
    Welcome to the Kingdom of the Accursed.

   This 1933 national bestseller by F. J. Schlink and Arthur Kallet
    spearheaded the growth of the consumer protection
    movement in USA ultimately leading to the passage (in 1938)
    of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The authors alleged that
    many of the best-known U.S. consumer products of the day
    were either useless or actually dangerous, released with little
    regard or knowledge of their adverse impact.

   Previous attempts at branding the city like “Capital of Sports”
    and “Small City, Big Business” were either too vague or focused
    on just one aspect of the city to the detriment of others.

   So, a new attempt was made in 2004, which went on to strike
    gold. The colors of the slogan were drawn from the flag and coat
    of arms, which depicts three white St. Andrew’s Crosses on a
    black stripe over a field of red. There are 3 two-meter tall red and
    white sets of letters that spell out the slogan/brand, one outside
    the city museum, one at the airport and a third set letters that
    travel around the city, appearing at major cultural events.

   As a connoisseur of X, Anthony built a bass guitar in the shape of a
    X at the urging of friends. It debuted in the video of Van Halen hit

    house, we would have done it on 18th night itself. He was selfish,

Echoes 2013 - General Open Quiz at IIM-Kozhikode - Prelims

  • 1. Life, the Universe and Everything The General Open Quiz Ze Prelims
  • 2. 30 questions  Questions 11-20 are starred and will be used to break ties  8 teams in the finals
  • 4. This is a disorienting 1964 snap by Philippe Halsman, featuring someone projecting pieces of dirty paper “to stimulate his inspiration.”  Who?  Image in the next slide.
  • 7. Uranus has 27 known moons.  24 of these are named after characters from William Shakespeare’s works.  The remaining three – Ariel (also a spirit in The Tempest), Umbriel and Belinda are named after characters from which 1712 mock-heroic narrative poem?
  • 9. Scene from a 1969 Broadway musical, which at that time was the most expensive production to ever grace the NYC stages. Who as whom?
  • 11. In 2010, it was discovered that male mouse urine contains a specific pheromone that invokes inherent sexual attraction by stimulating memory of the female mice thereby conditioning them to the airborne odors of an individual scent owner.  The protein itself was named after the archetypal cold and seemingly arrogant romantic hero, the protagonist of a 1813 novel.  Name the protein/character.
  • 13. “In 1912, it had over 600 pages, 62 of which concerned tires. By 1927, however, the first section devoted to changing tires included only 5 pages, out of 990 total.”  Excerpt from a 2001 book by historian Stephen Harp.  What were the remaining 985 pages about?
  • 15. This ad has covered this railway station's western facade for several decades. Just identify the city.
  • 17.

He died, while on duty, in 1965 and had a commemorative stamp issued in his memory in 1966 by this nation.
  • 19. Like some other reviewers I probably wouldn't recommend going out of your way to visit this museum, but if you happen to be passing by, it's worth the reasonable entry fee to spend 30 minutes or so in the bowels of Paris. I was worried about walking on the open grating, but I got over it and found it quite interesting. It will certainly be a talking point when we get home and I am currently reading ‘Les Miserables’ although I haven't got to the bit where they go down into the __________ yet. However, it will be much easier to picture now that I have seen them.  Visitor review on tripadvisor.com. FITB OR What is the museum dedicated to? Image in the next 2 slides.
  • 23. It is a traditional gesture of greeting, in which a girl or woman bends her knees while bowing her head. In more formal variants, the girl/woman bends the knees outward (rather than straight ahead), often sweeping one foot behind her. She may also use her hands to hold her skirt out from her body.  It is a shortening of another term that, once again, refers to polite behavior.  What is the gesture called? Image in the next slide.
  • 26. What is the subject of this 2012 novel featuring a very appropriate cover design?  Additional image in the next slide.
  • 29. Dancing mania was a phenomenon that occurred primarily in mainland Europe between the 14th-17th centuries. Thousands of people danced hysterically, sometimes for weeks.  One of the proposed etiologies for the same is envenomation from the bite of a X. This is also believed to have lead to the name and development of Y, one of the most famous and recognized European dances. The Y is commonly accompanied by a mandolin, a guitar, an accordion and tambourines. The dancer and the instrumentalist constantly try to upstage each other by dancing longer or playing faster than the other.  Identify X and Y. Image of a Pieter Brueghel painting featuring the phenomenon in the next slide.
  • 32. X is a small peninsula (within the larger Jutland peninsula) in Southern Schleswig in the northern Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, protruding into the Bay of Kiel. One of the common theories behind the origin of the name X is that the landform resembles the shape of a hook on the map. Natives of X migrated to another region between the 4th and 6th centuries. This new region, its people and their language all came to be named after these migrants.  Name X/the natives/new region/language.
  • 34. In 1990, a US physician named Frank Meshberger noted that the background figures and shapes in X appeared to be an anatomically accurate picture of the human brain.  The borders correlate with major sulci of the cerebrum in the inner and outer surface of the brain, the brain stem, the frontal lobe, the basilar artery, the pituitary gland and the optic chiasm. There appears to be communication present, just as neurons transmit biochemical information across synaptic clefts. One of the major characters is superimposed over the limbic system, the emotional center of the brain and possibly the anatomical counterpart of the human soul. The active part of this character extends to the prefrontal cortex, the most creative and most uniquely human region of the brain.  Just identify X.
  • 36. Featured is the opening lines from the song ‘Carbonised’ by the Singapore Black Metal band Impiety from their 2004 album Paramount Evil.  Open wide the gates of Eden, Trains of the flock have arrived, Herded into rows forced to march, Welcome to the Kingdom of the Accursed. Stripped of all clothes and disgraced, Angel of Death gives the command, Those who shall work and will die Those biologically blessed!  What are a.) Eden and b.) Angel of Death symbolic of? What sub- genre of black metal was the band accused of supporting because of this song?
  • 38. This 1933 national bestseller by F. J. Schlink and Arthur Kallet spearheaded the growth of the consumer protection movement in USA ultimately leading to the passage (in 1938) of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The authors alleged that many of the best-known U.S. consumer products of the day were either useless or actually dangerous, released with little regard or knowledge of their adverse impact.  The book was also significant in that its title popularized a metaphor and extended its use to include the consumer society.  Name the book/metaphor.
  • 40.
