Nice to see you back SJS. :) Looking forward to participating in the trivia topic if we are to reactivate it, so to speak.

Thanks mate but one of the pre-requisites to 'reactivating' this thread is for 'winners' to accept their 'obligation' to pose the next trivia question. Unfortunately, while we have some amazing 'beavers' (or is it gophers) to dig out information from the most vague and oblique hints, not many are as keen to look for new queries to post. That is the main reason for this to start petering out.

That and the fact that as the queries started becoming more and more difficult some of us who had the time and inclination to dig started 'hogging' the thread and the number of participants got reduced to an absolute handful.

We need both a wider participation across the forum and a greater sense of 'responsibility (for want of a better term) by the seniors of this thread to keep it going during times of low activity by posting fresh queries.

I thought of this format so that one could ask almost anything (not 'googlable') and yet with smart questioning, which would narrow down the options, an answer could invariably be found. The trick to this format is not to try and guess the answer in the first ten questions but to narrow the query so much that the guessing becomes easier thereafter. Unfortunately, new comers to the thread do not understand that and finding the queries too difficult to start with, give up and not return.
