adMad Trivia #8
Here is the question for the day...

Alex Pacheco, conducted an undercover investigation inside a primate research laboratory at the Institute of Behavioral Research in Silver Spring, Maryland. The lead researcher, Dr. Edward Taub, was studying regeneration of severed nerves by cutting nerves in the limbs of 17 monkeys, then applying electric shocks, physical restraint of intact limbs, and withholding food to see what, if anything, would force them to use the damaged limbs. Pacheco visited the institute at night and took photographs that showed the monkeys were living in filthy conditions. He turned his evidence over to the police, who raided the lab and arrested Taub. Which organization came into the limelight via this incident?

Fedex Express



The ad indicates the speed with which FedeX deliver mails.

adMad Trivia Fortnight
The name of the brand is Fedex. May be bcoz, the question wasn't that simple or the clues weren't enough, we don't have a correct answer this time.

adMad Trivia #7
Dandekar & Co. started operations with Horse Brand Ink Powders and Tablets. Later, for their flagship product, they chose another animal known for its capacity to endure long periods of difficulty as their logo. It was also easy to write and pronounce in all the Indian languages and was acceptable to all the religions of the land. They changed the company name itself based on the product name later on. Which brand are we talking about?

Duracell



adMad Trivia Fortnight
The answer to last trivia was Duracell. Please note that we had asked which was the "rival brand", not the brand; many identified Energizer bunny from the pic, but they had to mention that this was introduced as a rival to Duracell bunnies. The lucky winner for the trivia is Saptarshi. Congrats man and to all those who got their answers correct.

adMad Trivia #6
A simple question this time. This company is one of the current sponsors of F1 team Mc Laren. They have previously sponsored Ferrari, Benetton (now Renault) and Williams F1. Name this company, also synonymous with speed in a rather different way.

Pilot Marker



adMad Trivia Fortnight
Well, well, well! ;-) Was a slightly different question wasnt it? Pilot was the answer we were looking for. The pics were of Rajesh "Pilot" and the Wright Brothers who were incidently the first "pilots" ever. So its pretty straightforward I thought, but only one right answer this time. Abdul Quadir, congrats!! Good one there!!

adMad Trivia #5
Here is in the next one, another non-googlable question ;-). The below bunny mascot was introduced as a rival to another one belonging to the rival brand. Which was this rival brand. Very guessable. Please leave your answers in the "Enter Trivia Answer" link below..
