Quizzing is not just about competition, it is more about sharing the enormous amount of knowledge spread across the living and non living world around us. It is more about putting your knowledge to practical use through calculative guesses and innovative co-relations. It is my humble attempt to share with all of you my passion for quizzing and instantiate the dream of a world where knowledge knows no boundaries and knowledge is free.

So charge up your batteries and get your grey cells to work because we are ready to blast off this series of connections that can be decrypted by only those who have a proper synchronisation between their cerebral and occular armory. The goal is to decrypt the images in each of the questions and to find out how each of them is related to the invisible answer. You have seven days to search for the truth and if you succeed your name will be glorified by finding a place among the greatest truth seekers for the whole world to see.

So what are we waiting for ? Let the questions roll and here we go !!!
