Day 15 - Varuna Defeats Undefeated

3 out of 4 games this week have been washed out.
Reminds me of the Tamil movie Eeram (moisture) in which every frame will have something wet/moist/watery in it! This #CWC19 seems to have taken after that movie!

India did not have to stretch and see how they will perform without Shikhar. New Zealand will be thinking that they probably missed a chance to put one up on India. Something tells me that they will meet in the semis. Let's see!

The imperfect diamond (Heera Hera) is Zeus' sister. Like Adarsh pointed out Hera is a flawed character/personality apparently. Greek Mythology is full of such personas anyway!


Anyway, while men were fighting naked to win the crown of olive wreath in the ancient Olympic games, the women were not far behind. They had their own games. Dressed in half-tunic, they did pretty much the same as men - albeit for shorter distances and the games were called Heraean Games held once in 4 years in honour of Hera.

They ran around the stadium for varied number of times - Diaulos, Hippios, Dolichos. Google further.

AngelAsh came back quite early and gets 3 points.
Manikandan Ponnusamy came back after a few attempts and decided to accept only 2 points :)
Adarsh and ArunJayaraman used yesterday's clue to get the right answer & 1 point.

Good job, folks!

Now for Question #9.

Watch the video and answer the question that appears in the end. [2 points]

    Two questions on the cricket pool.

    In the Pakistan vs. Australia match both teams took ten wickets yet Australia was the correct answer to question #4 Maximum Wickets. When is an "Equal" answer to question #4 correct?

    What are the points awarded for a correct answer to each question (I'm sure you explained this at the start but I am in house cleaning mode)?

    All the best.
