    Summer Bonanza #10

    QUESTION 1.


    The map above suggests something. What? (I am not looking for a very specific answer!! )

    QUESTION 2

    Well they say.. ‘looks are deceptive’ and this happens to be no exception.


    This cute little kid isn’t so cute after all. He is X. Identify X.

    QUESTION 3

    "Y,
    Don't worry about me. I'm fine though perhaps a little tired. I hope to come home soon and then
    I can rest in your arms. I have a great longing for rest, but my duty to the people comes before
    everything else. I thank you for the proof of your affection and ask you also to thank your
    esteemed father and your most gracious mother for their greetings and good wishes. I am very
    proud of the honor - please tell them that - to possess the love of girl who comes from such a
    distinguished family.
    From my whole heart, your X."

    "X,
    I am beside myself. I am dying of anxiety now that I know you are in danger. Come back as soon
    as possible. I feel as if I am going insane.
    The weather is beautiful here and everything seems so peaceful that I am ashamed of myself ...
    You know I have always told you that I would die if anything happened to you. From our first
    meeting on, I have promised myself to follow you wherever you go, even to death. You know that I live only for your love.
    Yours Y"

    X and Y are very specially related. Who is Y?

    QUESTION 4.

    The name derives from a speech made on 18 June, 1940 in the House of Commons. He said, "The Battle of A is over. I expect the Z is about to begin..."
    Well if you are utterly confused, let me help you out. A is the name of a country shown in the
    1st picture and it happens to be a rival of Z. The battle of Z is actually what I am looking for!

    QUESTION 5.

    If you get the question above, this should be a piece of cake!!


    Now, finally tell me how this date is connected to this entire thing.

At school, X is a brilliant student, appointed as Head Boy without being a prefect, and said to have been a talented player of Quidditch.In the film version, X's name is listed on a plaque as a Seeker on his Quidditch team; however, he was intended in the book to be a Chaser. Y is the connect.

The company's founders found the name in a dictionary won in a race by one of them as a boy; the dictionary was a South African edition, hence the spelling. X is the connect.
