Balaji - The visual questions would be added later.

Thanks to ashwin & co ( PEC). Most of these questions were from the prelims of anuual lit day of PEC Lit club.

1. This animal has a mediocre top speed (its fastest specimens can
achieve about
27 MPH), but it has terrific stamina -- indeed, given enough time, a
healthy adult of this species can run down members of all but a few
other species. This stamina is largely due to its effective heat-
disposal system, made possible by its efficient sweat glands and
relative dearth of hair (as compared with other mammals). It is
thought that this heat-disposal system evolved in conjunction with
the animal's abnormally large brain, which produces a great deal of
heat. Name this animal, which probably hunted in packs on the
African savannah before spreading.
Humans


2. "It was found in the banks of the Amoy River in southern
China...and has a sinister history. There have been two murders, a
vitriol-throwing, a suicide, and several robberies brought about for
the sake of this forty-grain weight of crystallized charcoal." Name
this precious stone.
Blue Carbuncle

Whats listed here is essentially a sports quiz. We did have some visuals from Sangeet too.
