This massive, state-of-the-art meth lab was hidden
underneath an industrial laundry facility called Lavandería
Brillante. It had cameras, ventilation systems, and even a
specialized filtration setup to hide the smell. Only a small
crew, including Gale and later Jesse, ever cooked here under
Gus Fring’s orders. Its destruction marked a major turning
point in the series.
What is the name of this underground lab?1

Who choreographed Wednesday’s popular Rave'N dance?2

This cold, concrete shelter feels like a place frozen outside of time.
Over the years, it has been everything - a hiding spot, a crime scene,
and even a secret lab for experiments with a machine that can twist
time itself. Its walls have seen murders, kidnappings, and countless
desperate attempts to stop Winden’s endless cycle. People from
different timelines have crossed paths here, sometimes without
even realizing they were meeting their past or future selves.
Name this shelter/bunker. 3

A Japanese Manga series created by Osamu Tezuka in 1952 tells the
story of an android boy with human emotions, built by a scientist
named Umataro Tenma after losing his son, Tobio. This series has left
a significant legacy worldwide, influencing many writers. One such
writer, Naoki Urasawa, was inspired by Tezuka's work and adapted his
The Greatest Robot on Earth storyline arc into a dark murder mystery,
which featured characters from the above mentioned series. This
new adaptation was published from 2003 to 2009 and recently had
an anime adaptation on Netflix.
What is the name of this latter series?4

This actor began his career with the short film Multi-Facial and gained
widespread recognition with a supporting role in the Academy Award-
winning film Saving Private Ryan. Known for his deep and grumpy
voice, he has since become one of Hollywood's most bankable stars
and the lead protagonist in one of the biggest movie franchises of all
time. Over the years, he has also become a massive meme sensation
on the internet, largely due to a recurring theme in many of his
movies. He’s also a part of Marvel Cinematic Universe and his
character played a big role against Thanos.
What is his real name?5

During the Cold War, a test pilot pushing a supersonic jet to its limits
was struck by lightning mid-flight—and emerged with super speed. As
he explored his powers, obsession took root, and he formed a cult-like
following devoted to speed. In a clash with golden-age hero Max
Mercury, he was hurled into the Speed Force, vanishing for decades.
When he finally returned, the world had moved on—and so had its
speedsters. Fueled by resentment, he turned against the Flash family.
Identify this villain whose name was borrowed from an obscure Vedic
deity associated with Surya, the Sun God.6

When Eken Babu first took shape, it wasn’t the high-production detective
drama audiences know today. The show started small, with limited
resources, relying on creativity over scale. Instead of elaborate sets, the
team turned to Kolkata’s expanding suburbs, where the glass towers and
sprawling courtyards provided the perfect backdrop.
In this landscape, this area became central. Its modern high-rises, gated
layouts, and everyday community spaces doubled as Bapi’s home and
other city locations, grounding the story in a believable, urban setting
doubling down for showing the location as a complex of Bengaluru.
Which location/landscape is being talked about here? (Image in next slide)7

So in the interview which was aired shortly after the 2nd anniversary of the show,
the executive producer of the show revealed that he challenged creator Jean-
Yves Raimbaud to imagine Tom and Jerry for the year 2000. The result was a
chaotic, modern take on the classic cat-versus-mouse formula, but with a twist .
The series amplifies slapstick to extreme levels, turning everyday objects into
outrageous punchlines, while drawing visual inspiration from animation legends
like Chuck Jones and Tex Avery. Character names nod to punk music with the
main harbingers of chaos named after members of The Ramones and the minimal
dialogue and expressive gags give the show wide international appeal.
Identify the Show and the executive producer. 9

Stephanie Beatriz who plays the hardboiled Detective Rosa
Diaz in Brooklyn 99 has also played a side character in another

Born into celestial privilege, X once lived among the gods untouched by
war, poverty, or consequence. But when his father chose to abandon their
divine lineage and live among commoners, the boy's paradise turned to
torment. Stripped of status and mercy, he witnessed humanity at its
ugliest and something inside him shattered. Clinging to the remnants of his
lost royalty, he forged a new path: building a criminal empire, manipulating
nations like chess pieces, and pulling strings literally and politically from
the shadows. At one point, he held the world hostage with a single
classified secret, forcing even the highest powers to bend to his will. A
warlord, a tyrant, a fallen god in pink feathers.

The idea of a player racing to complete Minecraft objectives while being hunted has been
around since at least 2014. Early grassroots experiments, such as a video uploaded by a
creator named Dastro, laid the foundation for what would later become “______ ______.” Back
then, the concept existed in scrappy, community-driven form — one runner versus a team
of pursuers — circulating among servers and small YouTube channels long before the
format achieved mainstream attention.
Over the following years, the format evolved as skilled PvP creators like Technoblade,
Skeppy, and Wilbur Soot experimented with chase mechanics, combat strategies, and
highlightable stunts. Boat clutches, nether portal plays, and one-life stakes became
signature elements, giving the challenge its intensity and cinematic flair. By late 2019, ______
took the concept and polished it into a repeatable, globally recognized series,
standardizing the format while maintaining the thrill of elite speedrunning against a team of
hunters.

X was created by the greatest scientist of his universe after witnessing
glowing planets forming a straight line in the sky. But when it was stolen,
chaos followed—leading to the destruction of an entire planet. Ridden
with guilt, the scientist hid X and created Y as an apology, which was
although more powerful than X, but a lot less destructive. Later, an
immortal Earth-born knight was entrusted with X to slay a multi-
dimensional demonic entity and seal away its heart. In the present day,
the same demon’s followers succeed in reviving him—but a 16-year-old
boy, armed with X and an upgraded version of Y, rises to stop him and
restore peace across the universe.

The idea of a masked vigilante has been a prominent theme in popular
culture for a long time. Icons like Zorro, The Phantom, Doctor Syn, and
Batman are some of the most notable masked heroes from the early to
mid-20th century. However, it's often said that these characters were
inspired by the original masked hero, Sir Percy Blakeney, who first
appeared in a 1905 story by Baroness Emmuska Orczy. This character
led a double life as a wealthy, seemingly foolish Englishman in public and
a masked swordsman in private, rescuing people from the guillotine
during the French Reign of Terror.
What is the name of the story, which is also the name of the character's
vigilante alter-ego?4

Although “SpongeBob’s Last Stand” (2010) was released as an Earth Day
special with a clear environmental message, its most striking element is the
parody of the "_____". In the episode, SpongeBob stands in front of bulldozers
meant to destroy Jellyfish Fields for Plankton’s Shelly Superhighway
mirroring the event.
Surrounding this central image, the story follows SpongeBob and Patrick as
they campaign through protests, flyers, and the protest song “Give Jellyfish
Fields a Chance.” While the town initially ignores them, Bikini Bottom
eventually suffers from pollution, hostile jellyfish, and the collapse of the
Krusty Krab, forcing everyone to join SpongeBob in tearing down the highway
and restoring the fields.

mirroring his own childhood when his Catholic grandmother twice attempted to exorcise him
for obsessively drawing monsters.
He fought for seven years to cast an actor who is now iconic as the character, having written
the dialogues with the actor’s delivery in mind, despite the studio wanting a bigger star.
Abe Sapien was performed by Doug Jones but voiced by David Hyde Pierce, who refused
credit to honor Jones’ work.
The director returned half his salary on the first film to improve the creature effects budget.
Some theaters refused to screen this movie, and in parts of the American South, it was
renamed to avoid religious backlash near Easter.
The Sammael creatures were designed with a Lovecraftian influence, resembling multi-eyed,
tentacled gods.
The labyrinth motif appears subtly throughout—BPRD’s gate, Rasputin’s mausoleum, and the
opening credits—as a symbol of choice and identity.
Guess the Director and the Movie. 6

This is an iconic scene from the original 2011 rendition of Dragon Ball Z
Kai, where Future Trunks kills a revived Frieza and his father King Cold.
However, if you stream DBZ Kai right now, there would be something
entirely different about this scene. You would notice the same change
for not just this scene, but most of the scenes from the original 98
episodes which aired in 2011. Put Funda.
Hint: Something happened during the production of the original
episodes, so the production was halted after 98 episodes. Then major
changes happened and the series would broadcast the remaining 69
episodes along with the revamped 98 episodes from earlier in 2014.
So tell me what exactly happened that led to this change?

finding the rumoured Pokemon, the player finds an item.
Name the rumoured Pokemon and the item that the player gets in the

In 2021, when Natasha Romanoff finally received her solo story with

of real-world espionage. Her childhood alongside Yelena is upended
when their “parents” reveal hidden identities, thrusting them into a life
of secrecy and brutal training.
The opening sequence quietly draws from historical spy operations and
propaganda, nodding to Russian training films like The Crimson Score
and echoing infamous espionage cases from the atomic age which are
directly referenced in both the movies.
