Question 1280
Today's question is contributed by Suyash Thite.
X and Y are football players who represent/represented the same national team. X currently plays in the Barclays Premiere League. In 2003 X became the youngest player to debut for his country thus breaking the record which was previously held by Y(since 1976), probably the most famous player for his country. Due to X's diminutive figure and stocky build, he is often compared with players like Romario and Y.
The lady is also another connection between the two players X and Y.
Identify the 2 players X and Y(0.5 points eacj) and their connection to the lady(1 point). Total 2 points are up for grabs.

Question 1279: They need somebody, not just anybody
Keith Emerson and Greg Lake met in San Francisco and on working together, found their styles to be compatible and complementary. Seeking a drummer to complete the band, they approached the drummer of X's eponymous band but they changed their minds when he turned up for a jamming session with rude bodyguards armed with weapons. They instead got Carl Palmer, who at that time was a member of Atomic Rooster. Thus formed the trio"Emerson Lake and Palmer".
X, tired of his band and wanting to deviate from his usual style, showed an interest in playing with the trio. This led the British media to speculate about a supergroup called HELP. Because of scheduling conflicts, such plans were difficult to realize. The trio planned a jam session with X but X died 26 days later, and the three pressed on as Emerson, Lake and Palmer.
Identify X.
Answer: Jimi Hendrix. The band would have been called HELP i.e. Hendrix, Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

Question 1277: Elephants, always trust them to....
Connect the following images to an event which happened on this very day. And explain every element , no points for just the overall connect. 3 points up for grabs. One for each element.
Answer:
1st pic: Ancient Chinese rockets which probably were the first applications of gunpowder
2nd pic: Albus Dumbledore, who has a pet phoenix named "Fawkes". JK Rowling named the character after Guy Fawkes.
3rd pic: Hugo Weaving, who played the protagonist named "V" in the film "V for Vendetta" based on the comic book of the same name. The character "V" wears a Guy Fawkes mask and follows Fawkesian principles.
Connect: The Gunpowder Plot of 1605, was carried out by Guy Fawkes who attempted and failed to blow up the British Parliament on 5th November(today). He was hanged, and thus in his memory, Guy Fawkes Night/Bonfire Night is celebrated on 5th November every year.

P.S. Do watch the movie V for Vendetta.
