His first name is actually a surname for an ancient trade- that of Candle-makers
His last name, according to him, in Gaelic means that your Turkey has been prepared
His middle name is the same as the name of a lady who felt that Hermione Granger had a bad posture and skinny ankles.

X is a rating site that allows users to rate the attractiveness of photos submitted by people voluntarily. Y, a Harvard University version of X, was concocted by Z while blogging about a girl and trying to think of something to do to get her off the mind. Y was considered illegal and was shutdown many times by the Harvard administration. Finally, K was founded as a spin off of Y, by Z himself. Initially housed under the domain of 'theK.com', the company finally dropped the 'the' and bought the domain for a whopping $200,000. Find X, Y, Z and K.

Can you crack this code?

5. Connect. Exhaustive. In order. Most Welcome to use Tineye, google and Wiki.

Connect the following nine pictures. Do try not to Back-Image Search...

• First pic is not a fort (and not the Great Wall). It is synonymous to 'fort' though. A stronghold into which people could go for shelter during a battle.
• For the sixth pic, think "strategic"ally.
• There are no more clues (People may find it pretty simple actually).
• Not in order. Not exhaustive.

Dela gets it right. Followed by Jetty, but should I mention that? But, jetty got more military Ops right. Brilli-aunto...

All military ops of the Second World War:

Barbarossa (a giveaway) - Nazi invasion of Russia,

Citadel - Tank battle of Kursk,

Felix - Taking of Gibraltar,

Dragoon - Allied invasion of South France

Eagle - Battle of Britain,

Operation Summernight's Dream

Overlord - Normandy,

Uranus - Russian counteroffensive,

Torch - Allied African landings (vs Rommel)

And since DeLa gets it right, he will be given the opportunity to give a chapo to everyone else.

Faccha's Spot Kick!

An easy one to begin with. Connect the 2 images. Bonus points for naming the 2 persons in the pic...


Ans. Connect cracked by dhawal and abhinav. But, no one gave the complete answer. The 1st pic was a pic of SIS(MI6) for which bond worked for. The 2nd pic is a picture of Ian Fleming and James Bond. James Bond was an American Ornithologist widely believed to be the inspiration behind the character of James Bond.So, the connect was James Bond.
