8 Mile Foodtruck Questions and Answers

Rules
• 36 questions. “+10” for each correct answer. No negative
marks. Go for any guesses.
• If you are sure about your answer then you can put a star infront
of the answer which will fetch you twice the marks. But if after
putting the star, you got the answer wrong then “-10” will be on
its way to your answer sheet. And one more thing is that some
questions carry more than one part with “+5” for each. So if you
put a star in such questions, you have to give me all the answers
correctly. Otherwise “-10” will be another gift from my side.
• Don’t shout like monkeys. Discuss among your partners not
with your fellow teams.
• Keep your phones on silent mode. I’m not gonna tell you to
switch it off. Its 21st century guys. Quizzes aren’t superior than
your girlfriend/s. XD XD.

The quiz master has researched all the
questions, and has tried to cross-check almost
every info. Any resemblance to questions in other
blogs/pages/quizzes are purely coincidental. For
Rotten Tomatoes you can meet me after the
quiz. I will be more than happy to throw it back
to you (-_-)
“All the best guys. Hope you will have a good
time.”

3. In the painting a traditionally dressed person
has settled on the threshold between the front
and middle ground. Richard Field suggests the
white tiare flower behind the left ear indicates seeking
for a spouse. The second figure in a high-necked
Western-style dress sits erectly. Field thought the
gesture derives from Buddhist art. The second figure is
flush with the yellow-blue area. The face is painted
with individual features and represents the centre of
the image. The pink colour of the dress is clearly
distinct from the other colours. At the bottom right of
the painting there is an inscription as "NAFEA Faa

4. This flag is used by the government of “X”
since March 15, 1973. The flag contains an
Islamic creed called shahada along with their symbol for the
strictness in applying justice. Because the shahada is
considered holy, the flag is not normally used on T-shirts or
other items. “X” protested against its inclusion on a
planned football to be issued by FIFA, bearing all the flags
of the participants of the 2002 FIFA World Cup. The officials
said that kicking the creed with the foot was completely
unacceptable.
The flag is never lowered to half-mast as a sign of mourning,
because lowering it would be considered blasphemous.
Similarly, the flags of Somaliland and Iran are also never at
half-mast.
Which flag am I talking about?

reason for “__" is unclear. He said he chose the
first digit because it was lucky for him, while the
latter was his wife’s lucky digit. However he also
said that the second digit was selected
specifically because of the "psychological
influence of that figure and of its enduring
significance to people of all ages".
Gimme the name of the COMPANY and FITB.

8. The photo on the next slide features a hoodoo
at Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah. It is
sometimes referred to as a tent rock or fairy chimney.
They form because of erosion processes and may be
found in badland areas whenever relatively hard rock
overlays softer more erodible rock, such as sandstone.
Here the sandstone is from the Claron Formation. The
harder more resistant caprock protects the softer
underlying layers from frost, wind, rain, freezing and
thawing so that the rate of erosion is slower than
elsewhere.
The name of this hoodoo is inspired from the field of
mythology because of its similar phenotype. What is
the famous name of this hoodoo?

9. Sitter
Just identify
the painter.

10. Havana, Cuba, is the birthplace of this famous drink,
although the exact origin of this classic cocktail is the subject
of debate. One story traces it to be similar as the 16th century
drink known as "El Draque", after Richard Drake. In 1586, after his
successful raid at Cartagena de Indias, Drake's ships sailed
towards Havana but there was an epidemic
of dysentery and scurvy on board. It was known that the local South
American Indians had remedies for various tropical illnesses, so a
small boarding party went ashore on Cuba and came back with
ingredients for an effective medicine. The ingredients were fire
water, a crude form of rum made from sugar cane mixed with local
tropical ingredients: lime, sugarcane juice, and ____. Lime juice on its
own would have significantly prevented scurvy and
dysentery, and tafia/rum was soon added as it became widely
available to the British. ____, lime and sugar were also helpful in
hiding the harsh taste of this spirit.

11. This place is locally known as "Sairandhrivanam",

exile. The Pandavas, deprived of their kingdom, set out on
a 13-year exile. They wandered south, until one day they
came upon a magical place where rolling grasslands met
wooded ravines, a deep green river bubbled its course
through impenetrable forest, where at dawn and twilight
the tiger and elephant would drink together at the water's
edge, where all was harmonious and man unknown. Beside
that river, in a cave on a hill slope, the Pandavas halted.

*This famous dish “T” was said to have been first introduced here when
a VIP guest asked for a chicken dish late night after the restaurant was
shut. The chef looked into his supplies and discovered that he only had
half of a Tandoori chicken to cook with. So, hastily, he improvised it with

chef was known to dabble around with his ingredients and loved the
roaster. So one day, as an experiment, he skewered some chicken, applied
the spices, and left it in the roaster. The result was so marvelous that it
even impressed the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru. He

30. ________ is the style of “the wild beasts”, a loose group of
early twentieth-century modern artists whose works
emphasized painterly qualities and strong colour over
the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism. While
________as a style began around 1900 and continued beyond 1910,
the movement as such lasted only a few years, 1904–1908, and had three
exhibitions. The founder of the movement was “X” and André Derain was
the co founder.The paintings of this movement were characterized by
seemingly wild brush work and strident colors, while their subject matter
had a high degree of simplification and abstraction. It can be classified as
an extreme development of Van Gogh's Post-Impressionism fused with
the pointillism of Seurat and other Neo-Impressionist painters, in
particular Paul Signac. Other key influences were Paul Cézanne and Paul
Gauguin.
Gimme the name of this movement and its founder who is commonly
regarded, along with Pablo Picasso and Marcel Duchamp, as one of the

32. The Maillard reaction or Maillard ________ is a
chemical reaction between an amino acid and a
reducing sugar, usually requiring the addition of heat.
It is a form of non-enzymatic reaction. The reactive carbonyl
group of the sugar interacts with the nucleophilic amino group
of the amino acid, and interesting but poorly characterized odor
and flavor molecules result. This process accelerates in an
alkaline environment because the amino groups do not
neutralize. This reaction is the basis of the flavoring industry,
since the type of amino acid determines the resulting flavor. The
reaction occurs at a temperature of 140 to 165 °C (284 to 329 °F)
above which caramelization and subsequently pyrolysis become
more pronounced.
This reaction results in “what” phenotypic change in the food
that is easily observable in a daily consumed product?
Or simply FITB.

33. ______ ________ is a 1963 silkscreen
painting which was sold for $100 million to a
private buyer, making the painting the most valuable work
by the artist at the time. The painting was originally a
portion of a 37-foot long (11 m) piece, containing sixteen
copies of the character, that was showcased in a 1963
exhibition at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles . The images
of the character were taken from a publicity still from the
movie Flaming Star. When the gallery was dismantled, the
section with eight images became a distinct piece,
measuring 6 1⁄2 by 12 feet (200 by 370 cm). While the
painter created 22 versions of the painting only one piece
titled ______ ________ was created.

34. The _______ _________Theorem (or Postage Stamp
Problem or Frobenius Coin Problem) states that for
any two relatively prime positive integers ,the greatest
integer that cannot be written in the
form for nonnegative integers is
A consequence of the theorem is that there are
exactly positive integers
which cannot be expressed in the form . The proof is
based on the fact that in each pair of the
form , exactly one element is
expressible.
(contd.)

The story goes that the Theorem got its
name because people usually bought the item
in 9 and 20 piece packages. Somebody
wondered what the largest amount you could
never buy was, assuming that you did not eat
or take away any of the food. They found the
answer to be 151 , thus creating the Theorem.
Gimme the name of the theorem.

35. The painting has two inscriptions. The first,
within a rectangular cartouche in the top
left corner is the title: “冨嶽三十六景/神奈川冲/浪
裏” Fugaku Sanjūrokkei / ________ oki / nami ura. The
second inscription, to the left, is the painter‘s
signature: 北斎改爲一筆 “X” aratame Iitsu hitsu. Over
his career, “X” used more than 30 different names,
always beginning a new cycle of works by changing it,
and letting his students use the previous name.
Who is the painter? Which painting am I talking
about?
