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.

Summer Bonanza #9

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.

3) X is a subsidiary of Y, both of which manufactures similar commodities. X was originally named after its founders in 1895 but was renamed in 1958. 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.
