Cheers Priyanka. I'm guessing you answered just 3 because of Adivasi's other correct replies. Anyway, you got 2/3 right. Which one was wrong? Guess you'll have to wait till the 22nd. But the way things move so slowly here, I might have to spill the beans a bit earlier itself. Thanks anyway, Hope to have more such quizzes in the near future. - Shanty

[Prasoon]

No. 10 is Effie. The rest are difficlut. Hi Shanty, how you know all these????

[Krish]

I guess everyone answered the easy ones....god the rest are difficlut...and i would not know about the mid east awards....shanty can't wait for the rest of the answers....

[shantyarow]

Dear Prasoon and Krish...naw, it wasn't so difficult. Some guys in my office cracked almost 9/10. Ad awards aren't a dime dozen, so a little thinking will go a long way. Try again. Or wait for me to tell all later. Cheers, Shanty

4. Creatively horny fests caused an entry into the awards book?

Damn....i think i know but can't crack it....shanty hats off dude....these few ones are just on the tip of my tongue but can't crack them....you gotta give some hints yaar.....

[Sonya]

5. Under the arch, i've seen many famous ads?

Is this London International????? I can only think of CLIO as the other award that i know....or Andy awards

[shantyarow]

No Not London International. Nope, it ain't Clios either.

A hint for you Sonya and Anurag, the answers are within the statements itself. So read between the lines (or rather letters!)

Keep trying till the 22nd.

Cheers, Shanty
