3. BAPUJI RULE
• “Bapuji: (noun) An honorific given to the late Mohandas Karamchand
Gandhi by (mostly) people of Indian origin. Literally translates to Dear
Father “
• Bapuji Rule: A quizzing rule (twice in whole quiz) which works as
follows:
• Direct Question to Team X who have no chance of answering it (a la no
chance of fighting the British).
• Bapuji rule (satyagraha) = alternative to "pass" (i.e. violence).
• Passing would cost them that chance of answering on the bounce,
without risk of negative.
• Invoke the Bapuji Rule. Question continues as it should (because non
violence works slowly) but the next question will, no matter where the
previous one was answered, be direct to Team X (like one of the RTCs).
• Therefore, non-violence will only give you opportunities, you must
make the most of them yourself

4. SISTER RULE
• 1 bonus question (direct to nobody) in each QM‟s
round
• Those teams that choose to go for it answer it in written
for a +10/0.
• Only those that correctly answer it get a chance to
answer a related question for +20/-20. (again written
style)
• Lowest Scoring team in the previous round selects when
to ask for this question (except 1st round in which it is at
the end)

• Monty Python‟s Flying Circus

43. SISTER QUESTION
• One famous Monty Python sketch inverts the usual
crime methodology to show gangs of old women
attacking “defenceless, fit, young men”. It mirrors the
bike gang violence with the victim youth actually
wearing leather jackets and chains like typical bikers
although it is the old women that drive the bikes. There
are references to “used to be a nice neighbourhood
until… Don‟t even dare going to the shops… they
shove you off the pavement… 4 or 5 of them” and
loafing, teasing women, vandalism, driving their bike‟s
to loot stores etc. What name, reflecting the real world
crime they parody was given to this old women‟s
gangs. Or, what was the real world inspiration for the
name?

49. Q11. YOU THINK HE‟D HAVE KNOWN
BETTER THAN TO FALL IN LOVE
• X is chanting (rather flatly) the Bohemian Rhapsody for
an American idol audition, yet the judges are praising
him. His sad back story is maybe what moved them. He
tells a tall tale where he got famous and subsequently
became popular with the ladies, found his “the one”,
before she ditched him, leaving him in charge of the
baby. He wants to prove himself with this audition. Who
is this audacious famous “singer”? (AUDIO REMOVED)

73. Q17.THEY ARE CRAZY
• This “literary” practice seems to have its origin in the
string /riks/ which consists of two morphemes /rik/ or
“king” and /s/ which was used as “nominative singular
case”.
• The literary practice honours historical precedence.
Indeed, it may be called as the Celtic variant of the
Latin rex, whose stem is /reg/
• However, as is obvious from the obfuscating discourse
above, this string was used only for royalty and nobility,
such as chieftains and warlords, something that the
aforementioned “literary” practice violates. What
practice?

• X literally means “revelation / lifting of the veil” from its
original Greek.
• Its general sense in Middle English was "insight, vision,
hallucination”
• In Biblical accounts of revelations the manner of the
revelation and its reception is generally described.
According to the Book of Daniel, after a long period of
fasting, Daniel is standing by a river when a heavenly
being appears to him, and the revelation follows. The
association of revelations with God‟s Kingdom lead to
the modern sense of the word.
