Connection Fundaez

1. Connect. Put Fundaez.

Ans.: Oscar Awards.

Levis 501 is the reference to the numbering of Oscar statuettes. They were first numbered in 1949 with Serial No. 501. Second pic features Matilda Rose Ledger, daughter of Heath Ledger who is the legal heir to the Oscar presented to the deceased for the role of the Joker. Because she is only 3, Matilda is legally unable to crayon an X on the winner's agreement not to resell his or her Oscar without first offering it back to the academy for $1, or a handful of Gummi Bears. The agreement is the academy's way of limiting what might otherwise be a lively secondary market in Oscars.

7. Identify, Connect, Put Fundaez

Ans.: Clockwise: Prof. Sugata Mitra (Chief Scientist, Emeritus, at NIIT), The opening day of the Learning Station at Shivpuri, The very first Learning Station at Kalkaji - rear view, Danny Boyle.

Funda: Prof. Sugata Mitra is credited with the discovery of Hole-in-the-Wall. Mitra's team carved a "hole in the wall" that separated the NIIT premises from the adjoining slum in Kalkaji, New Delhi. Through this hole, a freely accessible computer was put up for use. This computer proved to be an instant hit among the slum dwellers, especially the children. With no prior experience, the children learnt to use the computer on their own. Encouraged by the success of the Kalkaji experiment, freely accessible computers were set up in Shivpuri (a town in Madhya Pradesh) and in Madantusi (a village in Uttar Pradesh). These experiments came to be known as Hole-in-the-Wall experiments.

The Hole in the Wall experiment has left a mark on popular culture. Indian diplomat Vikas Swarup read about Mitra's experiment and was inspired to write his debut novel Q and A - this subsequently went on to become the movie Slumdog Millionaire.
