Wired Differently: Quizbot # 4





Quizbot
is a weekly quiz initiated by yours truly in an attempt to reach far out in everyone's quest for Curiosity. Besides, Quizzing is one of my hobbies and thanks to SEQC, now one of my passions.


Quizbot # 3 saw a relatively weaker response, but nevertheless, here's the fourth set. I missed posting this yesterday because of a tight string of events, so here goes:


Set # 4

1. Connect the three images below to a song by an entertainer. Also name the entertainer.




2. One of the holy abodes of God Vishnu, this temple is currently in the news. Name it.


3. Also in the news, how the name of this district came about is as follows. The first element of this word contains this letter (see image, the letter is written in upper and lower case) of the Old English Alphabet. The second part means 'hill' in Old English. Name Please.




4. Today (4th July) is the Independence Day in America. But, on this day, about a 1000 years earlier, Chinese astronomers spotted an 'unseen star', a 'second sun' so to say. This today is known to be a supernova that created what spectacular astronomical treat?

5. The sitter (as usual). Name this aircraft (pictured below), the name of this aircraft refers to any type of agreement on a matter.



As usual, Please post your answers in the comments section below.
