Quiz 2: Simple 5










Another set of 5 simple questions…get cracking and refrain from googling…

  1. The current incarnation of A is the result of a merger between Confinity and X.com. Both companies were located on University Avenue in Palo Alto.

Identify A.

  1. What is the term for the largest ships capable of transiting the Suez Canal fully loaded, and is almost exclusively used in reference to tankers?

  1. Identify the picture of the geographic entity taken from space shown above (I am looking at the specific water body nearest to the two land masses which is the focus of attention)


  1. This person exploiting several loopholes in the banking system siphoned of funds from inter-bank transactions and bought shares heavily at a premium across many segments, triggering a rise in the Sensex in early nineties.
