Q1
An acclaimed poet’s 1920 work is believed to be inspired by a legendary work
from over five centuries before it, in which the worst offenders are punished in a
way that is diametrically opposite to the environment they are in. The number
of lines in the 1920 work, as well as the structure, meter and rhyme scheme,
mimic the older work. Its compactness, as well as the casual tone masking
serious underlying themes, have been appreciated by critics.
However, astronomer Harlow Shapley claims an encounter he had with the
poet in 1919, where they discussed the sun’s eventual explosion, either
incinerating the solar system or causing temperatures to drastically drop, was
the actual inspo behind the poem. Regardless, the two works have gone on to
become iconic in their own right, being referenced in various other books, films
etc. Name the 1920 poem as well as the older work.

Fire and Ice, by Robert Frost
Dante’s Inferno / Divine Comedy
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Q2
In February 2019, multilingual hip-hop band Swadesi released The _____ Revolt
(image follows), which was a collaborative piece with Adivasi tribal chieftain
Prakash Bhoir, and became an anthem for a social movement taking place at
the same time. The name of the song (the blank) is the name of a tribe that was
being threatened by an ongoing government project, and the song’s lyrics warn
the public about the dangers of unsustainable development, deforestation, loss
of natural resources and displacement of indigenous people and tribes. This
project got national attention, became a major voting issue for the state and
was eventually reversed by the subsequent government.
Fill in the blank with the name of the tribe, whom we mostly know through
their world-famous eponymous art form.
What government project were they protesting against?

The book X used the song Landslide by Fleetwood Mac as the backdrop of a couple of
iconic scenes. When the song initially plays on the radio, the characters do not recognize it
but instantly connect with it. By the time of the climactic scene, the protagonist is finally
able to express his love and recreates their earlier experience by playing this song in a
moment of exhilaration.
When the book was being adapted to a movie, it was decided to replace Landslide with a
“punchier” song, accurately depicting the euphoria of the climactic scene. Though it is a
little hard to believe that rock-loving teenagers from the early 90s would not recognize
one of the most famous songs by one of rock’s biggest icons, the song itself also fits the
theme, talking about lovers who are separated by a barrier but are finally able to meet,
even if just for one day.
Which book/movie, and which song?
Q3

The Perks of Being a
Wallflower
“Heroes” by David Bowie
(the tunnel song)

Q4
The first spinoff to a critically and commercially acclaimed franchise was
released in 2016, and was slightly experimental as it was set in a different time
and had a different cast than the franchise itself. The spinoff was a success and
became a series of its own, with a sequel releasing in 2018 and more in the
works. Faced with the challenge of both communicating the connection to the
original story and establishing that it was a different series entirely, the
producers hired a design time to create a branding style, which included color
schemes, graphics and a font style. This font evoked the parent franchise’s
design style, as well as the themes of the films themselves.
Punnily, the design team named the font by replacing a few letters in the name
of an iconic typeface, which turned one word in the font name into a callback to
the second sequel’s title. What was the font named? What film?

Crimes New Roman,
FBAWTFT: Crimes
of Grindelwald

The work X originally released in 1990 has often drawn comparison to another work,
Y, from the same genre from the early 19th century. The older work was a pioneer in
the genre, featuring themes like man’s hubris, and the consequent horror and lack of
understanding of his own creation. The newer work also features similar motifs, with
the “creator” Henry Wu not even knowing the names of some of his creations, which
have been spliced together from diﬀerent forms of life. Name the 2 works X and Y.
Though the central treatise of X is a demonstration of chaos theory (how complex
systems have instabilities built in), the eventual downfall of the central project in the
work is triggered by just one person. The chief programmer for the project had
programmed in a backdoor entry to to access the mainframe and make undetected
changes. This backdoor command was named after a character from a book from
155 years ago from now, who the protagonist follows through a similar secret “door”
to a world of wonder and mystery beyond. Name the command/ character.

Q6
___A__ the X Meets ___B___ the X is a 1936 animated short that features two
characters who share the same suffix/title. ‘A’ is an early 1900s creation, while ‘B’
is much older (the exact date is hard to trace but believed to be approx 17th
century) but we know B through a very different 2008 context 🌚 Naturally, they
decide to engage in a fight to see who the more superior one is. The fight is even
until A applies his trusted, very iconic, energy-boosting technique and wins.
Considered one of the most influential animations of all time, it was a nominee
for the 1936 Academy Award for Animated Short Film, has been deemed
"culturally significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for
preservation in the National Film Registry.
Give A and B.

A paper published in 2018 analyzed the content of
movie trailers using machine learning. Machine
vision systems examined trailer footage frame by
frame, labeling objects and events, and then
compared this to data generated for other trailers.
The idea was that movies with similar sets of labels
would attract similar sets of people.
Applied to a trailer for a movie from a year ago
from then, the following labels were generated.
Use these and a list of related movies determined
by this system (next page) to identify the movie.

Q8
The Long-Legged Fly, or dolichopodidae, are a family of ﬂies that use cohesive
forces between liquid molecules and the resultant surface tension for their
movement. They are a symbol of calm resistance against the greatest of
opposing forces, such as in W. B. Yeats’ Long-Legged Fly, which is about the role
silence plays in the fostering of great minds. Each of the poem’s three stanzas
focuses on a person from history/myth: Julius Caesar (military tactics), Helen of
Troy (beauty), and Michelangelo (artistic creation). The poem’s refrain is:
‘Like a long-legged ﬂy upon the stream
His/her mind moves upon silence.’
The second stanza of this poem is used as the epigraph
of which 1983 bildungsroman American novel, which
recently returned to popular consciousness?
(Full poem given in next slide if needed)

That civilisation may not sink,
Its great battle lost,
Quiet the dog, tether the pony

stream
His mind moves upon silence.
That girls at puberty may find

Q9
YSL’s signature heart motif eyewear came back
into popularity in 2017ish with the rise of ‘90s
chic’ fashion and oversized accessories. These
glasses (in picture) are named after and inspired
from the poster of a 1962 movie, which in turn
was an adaptation of a slightly older novel. These
glasses have become synonymous with the film
and novel, and iconic in their own right, being
replicated in art, film, music and fashion.
Which film?

Q10
This is Elsa Schiaparelli’s iconic 1937 dress now
placed in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. She
created this unusual dress with the help of one
of her friends from a different field, whose
flamboyant endeavors and interest in dress led
him to become hugely influential in fashion. The
motif on the dress is seen in this friend’s other
works, and has been linked to sexuality and
Freudian concepts. The dress became a smash
hit, even worn by Wallis Simpson for a Vogue
pre-wedding shoot, and the two friends later
made a Shoe Hat and a Skeleton Dress.
Who is this famous friend?

Alongside is a set of lines from a 1671 tragic drama about a
biblical ﬁgure titled ______ Agonistes (or ______ the
Champion). The character is sometimes believed to be the
Near Eastern folk hero equivalent of the Sumerian Enkidu
and the Greek Herakles. Which character?
The drama was written by a giant of the literary scene, who
had also turned blind like his hero. It was published as part
of a volume containing ________ Regained, a spiritual sequel
of sorts to his most famous work, progressing through
Christian history like in the earlier work but dealing
primarily with the temptation of Christ. Who was the
author?

_______ ___ ____ was a 1984 R&B song, sampled nearly 2 decades later for an
iconic debut single, though it was pitch-shifted and sped up.
The newer song changed 1 letter in the title of the original to reﬂect the
fact that it's artist had gone through a car accident and needed to have his
jaw sealed shut with a piece of metal going through his mouth. He
recorded the song despite this and the song was a breakout hit and was
even nominated for a Grammy.
Which artist, for whom sampling would almost become a signature
technique in later years? And what was the name of the newer song?
Q12

Through the Wire

Q13
A concept named _____-________ was invented by
Sir Patrick Stewart in 1997. As a classically trained
actor, Stewart had wanted to play a key role in a
production, but by the time he felt he was skilled
enough to do it, it was socially unacceptable and
would have been controversial.
He came up with this concept to ensure his participation but also not downplay
the issue at hand, which in fact is a plot point in the production itself. Thus, the
original lines and oﬀensive language in the source material were not changed.
What production was he participating in? FITB with the name this concept
was given to capture the change made to the production - the name is the
same as a mid 1830s development which revolutionized MELA ﬁelds.

Q15
Peter Martins, artistic director of the the New York City Ballet, was given the
responsibility for a particular work (the ﬁrst of a series) in 2001. He chose two of
his best performers for the role. "He chose me, I guess because I'm tall and have
long legs," says fair-haired Maria Kowroski. "I'm 5 foot 9, but I have big feet (size
10), so when I go en pointe I'm up there." At 6 feet 4 inches, the blonde Charles
Askegard, was also described as “boyishly handsome with a picture-perfect,
muscular build.” Advanced motion capture imaging was used with heavy editing
to add more expressions and emotions to the production. The work became the
ﬁrst in a franchise that went on for years, becoming a cultural icon, and Maria
and Charles went on to reprise the role multiple times.
What work?
(if we wanna make it easier then just name the franchise)

Alongside is a reading exercise for second-graders
designed by Siegfried Engelmann. They were created to
teach kids about words and pronunciations. “The Pet
Goat” is a story in the book designed to teach students
about words ending in the letter E.
The exercise tells a story about a girl's pet goat, which her
parents want to get rid of because it eats everything; the
parents relent after it foils a robbery by butting the
intruder, who is now "sore" (i.e., a word ending in e).
This story came into the spotlight when someone
continued and ﬁnished the story despite receiving some
big news, in the early 21st century. Where was it seen?

Q17
In December 2020, Microsoft unveiled a fake commercial,
pretending that the company was releasing a holiday/
Christmas music CD set, and reimagined classic songs by
giving them a Microsoft-twist. One classic that they
remade replaced one single letter in the song’s title to
reference a Microsoft product that tries its best, but
simply cannot match up to its competitors.
What was the name of this parody song?

Q18
FITB with the names of a duo from a 1904 play:
1. The __________ Effect is used to describe a phenomenon where things are
thought to exist only because people believe in them or focus more on
them. The effect is named after a character who needs constant audience
applause, encouragement and attention to survive. The effect is seen in
investing (people believing that prices will continue to appreciate) and has
resulted in various booms which invariably lead to crashes, 2008 crash in
home prices, 2000 dot com crash etc. Other use cases are placebos, public
policy, trend analysis etc.
2. Operation _____ ____ refers to the Cold War-era covert program where
14,000 unaccompanied minors were brought to the US from Cuba, as their
parents were being targeted by Fidel Castro’s new regime, and to shield
them from the ‘Communist ideologies’ feared by the US.

Q19
In 2012, employees at a company wanted to make a very straightforward and
serious feature/service of theirs more fun. They decided to replace the
randomized numbers that were being used with a list of cuter and more
friendly options. They came up with an alliterative name and the visual design
team got involved to build icons.
While using the service, you can’t choose what you get from the list, and only
another can user tell you which one you got. That’s part of the fun! There are
around 70 options, which the designers say is enough to meet the demand
they anticipate in one use case simultaneously. The initial list was expanded to
include more playful variations, including memes and myths. In 2019, the
company partnered with a new landmark Netﬂix documentary series to “raise
awareness” and added 13 new items to the list. What is being described?

__ ____ ___ ___ was a 4-part 2019 documentary commemorating the 25th
anniversary of the formation of the Wu-Tang Clan. The title is a play on a novel
set during the Great Depression, changing just one letter in the 2nd word. The
changed title reﬂects the tool that most members of the group use.
2 of the members of the group have similar sounding (and short) stage names,
separated by one letter. A more contemporary, critically acclaimed neo-soul
artist has a similar stage name, changing the same letter. Though this name is
an acronym derived from the “Supreme Alphabet” — part of the religious belief
system of the Nation of Gods and Earths, she admits to having been inﬂuenced
by the Clan while young. Who? Also FITB.
Q20

First released in 1974, this work is notorious for having highly dedicated and
obsessed fans who stereotypically stay glued to it for hours in dimly lit
basements. Further editions have been released bringing new features, and it

Q22
The 1998 Versace Home signature collection by

Q23
______day is observed annually in a specific European city, and also across the
world, on 16 June - the specific date and the specific city making a reference to
an iconic work. "It is quite impossible to imagine any other masterpiece of
modernism having quite such an effect on the life of a city," it is said. The first
celebration is believed to have been in 1924, and nowadays enthusiasts dress
up in the style of the work, hold performances and enactments, and people in
the city are treated to a free breakfast consisting of sausages, rashers, toast,
beans, and black and white puddings.
A very acclaimed director, who is an admirer of the work in question, paid
homage to the date itself, using his critically acclaimed 1995 work.
FITB, and name the work in question.

_______ is an indie adventure video game released in 2012. The structure of the game
was modeled on a common archetype which has been seen in all sorts of narrative
media, from Dickens to Star Wars and beyond. This is reflected in the title of the
game as well as some elements of the soundtrack: pieces titled “The Call”,
“Threshold”, “Trials”, “Temptations”, “Atonement” and “Apotheosis” which occur in a
specific order. Name the game.
The game can be played solo or with a randomly assigned online companion. The
final scene of the game (see video in next slide) was inspired by a scene in another
work from about half a decade ago (from 2012). That scene similarly focuses on the
beauty of 2 silent protagonists floating and “dancing”. Which work?
Q24

Journey (from
Hero’s Journey)
Wall-E

X and Y are 2 works released 11 years apart. X deals with the contradictions between
the rural conﬁnes of the protagonist’s hometown and the urban glitz and glamor
which he only gets to experience as a second-class citizen due to his position in
society. Y deals with similar themes of class disparity and the contrasts between the
lives of the rich and poor.
Both works feature their protagonists using cunning and illegal methods to climb
higher in society, often at the expense of other people in their social spectra, and
ultimately of their masters’. The protagonist in X is forced to live in the basement of
his master’s high-rise building in a city as a servant, while certain characters in Y are
revealed to be literally living below a rich household.
What are the 2 works?
Q25

Alongside is an illustration of a supernatural character
from Slavic folklore called ____ ____. She is usually
described as living in a hut standing on chicken legs,
and acts as both a villain and a guide for the hero in
diﬀerent stories.
In a 2014 action movie, the Russian antagonists tell of
the tale of the eponymous protagonist being as scary
as a boogeyman, or a ____ ____. This comparison is not
exactly correct, since a babayka would be a more
accurate analogue of the boogeyman in Slavic culture,
but it gets the point across.
Which movie/ character? Also FITB.

Q27
A certain type of ceremony that dates back to the 1700s saw
two portrayals in the pop culture world in 2020:
● The first is named after the lady in the first photo, and
was founded in 1780 as a birthday celebration for her.
Originally serving as a fundraiser for a hospital, it was
suspended in the 20th century, but revived in the 21st,
with a focus on teaching business skills, networking,
and etiquette, and fundraising for charities.
● The second was started in 1992 by the second lady, and
is held in a different country than the first. Though
charity and networking is a focus, it has faced flak for
nepotism and fetishization of inherited wealth & fame.
Name the two and where we saw them.

1. Queen Charlotte’s ball in Bridgerton
2. Les Bal des Debutantes in Fabulous Lives of
Bollywood Wives

Q28
House of _____ is an upcoming American biographical crime film, based on a
2001 book “House of _____: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour,
and Greed” by Sara Gay Forden. It stars Adam Driver as the head of a famous
fashion house (blank) who is murdered by his wife, played by Lady Gaga. Fill in
the blank with the name of the brand.
The promotional photos of the film led to renewed interest in a certain Irish
handicraft, which has previously also received boosts in sales when famous
celebrities such as Steve McQueen, Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly were
pictured with it. In the last two years, it has annually had a moment of fame:
● In 2019, it became an online sensation in association with a film.
● The second, was a 2020 surprise drop by an artist that became a super hit.
Name the two instances.

Q29
The book Unbearable Lightness of Being has characters classiﬁed as living with
“lightness” or “heaviness”. Accepting lightness of being means accepting a certain lack of
ultimate meaning in life, and living for momentary beauty. Living with heaviness means
attaching a meaning and weight to what one considers important in life.
Sabina, a character who lives her life with utmost lightness and never stays attached to
one person or place, nevertheless possesses a/an X, a hand-me-down from her
grandfather. X takes on multiple roles throughout the book as a relic of the past which
she cannot let go of, and as a contrast to the very feminine image of Sabina we are
presented with. It is a/an X and is also not a/an X at the same time.
The same item, X, is used frequently by a certain artist in his works. His fascination with
the object was because it “poses no surprises. The man with a/an X is just a middle-class
man in his anonymity”, though his works are often shrouded in mystery. Which artist,
and which item?

Bowler Hats
René Magritte

Q30
A 2017 Taiwanese film, “## __, _ ____ ___” (Number, unit, three words) has a plot
featuring many love stories set in modern Taipei City on Valentine's Day. The
musical film has been called ‘Taiwan’s answer to La La Land’, and is about how
lonely voices can be answered, even in a busy city where people face alienation.
Sometimes, you just need to find someone who understands your song.
The title of the film references an individual, which has become a world-famous
metaphor for loneliness and wanting to find love. Since 1989, this individual’s
unique and lonesome existence has gripped the attention of people in various
fields. BTS's 2015 song "_______ ##", explicitly uses the individual as a metaphor
for the alienation often felt by adolescents who think nobody understands them.
Who is the individual? (if you can’t give the ##, the three-word moniker this
individual has been given is also an acceptable answer)

The ‘world’s loneliest whale’
which calls at the unusual
frequency of 52 Hz, making its
song incomprehensible to any
other whale
Film: 52 Hz, I love You

The word X began being used in the 19th century to describe works like Dracula, Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and others. It gained popularity due to Sigmund Freud’s 1919 book,
The X, where he called it “the class of the terrifying which leads us back to long known to
us, once very familiar”. He called E.T.A. Hoﬀman the master of the genre, with his work
The Sandman being mentioned in particular.
The tell-tale signs of the genre were supernatural elements juxtaposed with real-life
settings, a sense of deja vu in a new & exotic setting and a blurring of lines between
humans and their doppelgangers.
This concept has seen a revival in the past half century in the form of XY, referring to the
eeriness experienced by humans when faced with objects resembling themselves. This
concept has been studied in the ﬁelds of AR, VR, animation, video games, etc.
Just give me XY. (clue on next page)

Q33
The artist used an alter ego X, because of a particular sartorial choice of his
inspired by a pop culture villain and the titular character in the Phantom of the
Opera. He rarely made any public appearances without this prop, and the 2
alphabets in X also refer to it. He played up the villain persona by antics such
sending random impostors to his concerts and pranking the audience. Which
artist?
He went by the name “King Geedorah” for a 2003 album, sticking to the theme.
The album also had features from artists such as Gigan, Jet Jaguar, Biollante,
and Rodan. Which universe are these names taken from?

MF Doom
Godzilla

Aubrey Beardsley was a 19th century English illustrator. His black ink drawings
were influenced by Japanese woodcuts, and emphasized the grotesque and
the erotic. He contributed to the development of the Art Nouveau and poster
styles, and is considered one of the important Modern Style (British Art
Nouveau style) figures.
His works (see next slide) inspired a part of another work, X, from the 1960s.
The artists of that work were so enamored with Beardsley that they even
included him in a part of their iconic follow-up work, Y, along with many other
such influences.
Give me the work X.
Q34

The cover of the
Beatles’ Revolver

Dr. Anil Battoo, a linguist at the SOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies),
University of London reconstructed this language for a 2012 sci-fi movie.
Though it is not a completely accurate reconstruction as it was modified to
sound more familiar to viewers, the fact that it is used to communicate with
an ancient race references other works such as Chariots of the Gods and At the
Mountains of Madness which deal with similar themes.
Identify the reconstructed language.
While working on the movie, the director, a notorious stickler for details, asked
Dr. Battoo to translate the lines of the primary antagonist from a ~30 year old
(from then) sci-fi movie made by him (see next slide).
Name the older movie.

On the next slide is a painting from the mid-20th century, depicting a scene
from a contemporary conﬂict. This is one of the few explicitly political pieces
by this artist, though perhaps his most popular work would also fall under the
same genre. What real life event was this work based on?
This work was inﬂuenced by and has often been compared to a nearly
century-and-a-half older piece, similarly depicting the horrors of war and the
resistance to occupation.
Name both the artists.

This item is named after a species of first mentioned in Pliny's Naturalis
Historia. Ostrich, marabou, chandelle, and turkey are the most common
types of this item, although with change in time and general thought, there
has been a conscious effort to move away from these types. Popular
amongst women in the 1888s upto the roaring 20s, and even immortalized in
a work by Klimt, the stock market crash of 1929 led to a decline in popularity
of this extravagant item. It was relegated to performance culture, eroticism
and certain marginalized sections of society.
Recently, with a rise of flamboyance chic and gender-bending, as well as a
return to fashions of old, this item is back in vogue. Very very recently, as per
global shopping search platform Lyst, page views for this spiked a whopping
1,500% in the first 48 hours after being used by a performer. What item?
