S12D15: Sayanora Carribboys!

"Thanks for all the entertainment, guys!"

As their campaign petered out to another whimper, one could not but yearn for those great Windies teams that set the grounds ablaze with their fearless brand of cricket. Two of the great stalwarts of white-ball cricket (despite Gayle's Test triple centuries) retired from T20Is last night. They entertained us with the bat, ball, their jigs, their antics, their immense self-confidence. Thanks guys! Wish to see you around in those garish colours in the leagues around the world! #BravoGayle

South Africa left its so-near-yet-so-far stamp on this World Cup too. Looking back, their close loss to Australia and the sleep-walking chase against Bangladesh were the two main reasons for them to meet expectations ("Thou shall choke at appropriate moments!") in this edition as well. #YouMakeYourLuck

The answer to the last question is quite topical though the audio is 12 years old.

It is President Nasheed of Maldives pleading the world community in Sep 2009 at the Summit on Climate Change convened by United Nations. Later, he held a cabinet meeting underwater, to convey the seriousness of the nation facing the threat of extincition by a rising Indian ocean.' The next line in his speech was, 'Our country will not exist!'

Sivamani and Rambo garner 3 points for this important climate change question. #COP26

The next question is also contributed by Raghav. For some more geometry and trigonometry, here it goes.

What is a? The centres of all four objects are points along the diagonal of the blue square. [4 points]
