S12D9: Where is the spine, O India?

 

"My spine is everywhere and nowhere!"

(c) Disco Amoeba by Jimi Bush

Somewhere in the afternoon yesterday, Namibia all of 5 games in a #T20WorldCup were spirited in at least two of the two departments of cricket. However as the evening petered out, the only thing that the Indians did with courage and intent was promoting Ishan Kishan up. Thereafter it was as if they were sulking after the headmaster gave them a dressing down. Perhaps VK got it from the powers-that-be for his press conference outburst while defending Shami? #ShellShocked

Guess Section

While there were many hopefuls of an Indian revival ('it was just a bad day!'), the truth was anything but. Results showed. KP seem to be having a direct line ;-)

Today's game

ENG vs SL @ Sharjah

Will it be another 'The Hundred' finish by England? Let us see.

The question did stump quite a few. But there were others who got back with nice explanations.

Which was the word that the teacher gave to the students in the previous post? GOD

Here is a colourful explanation by Sivamani.

Others who came up with some good cogent explanations are: ES🏆N, Shankar Tugga.

All three get 13 points.

ArunJ, SivaJ, Rambo and Adarsh gave the right answer; but I would have preferred more clearer explanations. 10 points each. [Pls don't fight with me? 😇 QMDF.

Someone asked for a geometry question and here it is.

There is a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 12 cm. The perpendicular to the hypotenuse is 7 cm. What is the area of the triangle? [3 points]

One small thing. For each wrong answer, I will deduct one point. But I will give you a point for the correct answer anyways. Multiple attempts possible. So, if you get the right answer in your second attempt (first time wrong; second time right), you get two points. From the third attempt onwards only one point.

Have a great time!
