* 1 point to Assassin. You didn't get the connect. You were close though.

8. Angry Birds is the connect. First pic is the Influenza Virus and the guy is Jaakko Iisalo, designer of Angry Birds. It is said that the pigs were chosen to be the bad guys in the game because of the "Swine Flu" outbreak!

Druidry Season 2, Episode 1 Questions

Hola everyone!

Druidry Season 2 kicks off with Episode 1. I tried to increase the number of questions to 15 but had severe time constraints!

Rules remain as before. An important change is that now anonymous posts are allowed so you no longer need to give your Email ID and password to comment. Comments will of course remain hidden till the Episode's running time!

So here we go!

1. The core principle of X is respect and veneration of nature, and as such it often involves participation in the environmental movement. X is also known for a ceremony called Eisteddfod which is dedicated to the recitation of poetry and musical performances. What is X?

2. Which Rembrandt painting should more properly be called The Company of Captain Frans Banning Cocq and Lieutenant Willem van Ruytenburch?

3. He did a notable job at the 2007 Japanese Grand Prix, when he led the race for almost 20 laps in heavy rain. At the 2011 Canadian Grand Prix he led 28 laps, while race winner Jenson Button led only half a lap, the last half of the last lap! Who am I talking about?

4. Identify her!
