Q 42) What is the cartoon trying to mock?
ANSWER: Tom Webster in The Daily Express with a view of Body-line Series, Australia v England, 4th Test, Brisbane, February 6, 1933.
The English captain Douglas Jardine and fast bowler Harold Larwood combined to counter Don Bradman’s batting skills with an unsportsmanlike tactic. He bowled fast balls directed at the batsman’s body. The batsman trying to defend getting hurt would get out.
This prompted a change in the laws of cricket!

Q 40) Another one: Identify X, Y and Z:
When the lead singer of this girl rock band decided to spray paint a sentence on X's room, she just meant to say X was totally smitten by his girlfriend who performed in her band. But X felt it was a sign of revolution and used it to compose Y, which became a huge hit and helped his band Z propel to greater success:
ANSWER: X is Kurt Cobain, Y is Smells Like Teen Spirit and Z is Nirvana
Cobain came up with the song's title when his friend Kathleen Hanna, lead singer of the punk band Bikini Kill, spray-painted "Kurt Smells Like Teen Spirit" on his wall. What Hanna actually meant, was that Cobain smelled like the deodorant Teen Spirit, which his then-girlfriend Tobi Vail wore. But,since they had been discussing anarchism, punk rock, and similar topics, Cobain interpreted the slogan as having a revolutionary meaning and went on to compose Smells Like Teen Spirit.
Sarath was spot on with answers.
