a) If the gentleman on the left (1) holds a unique distinction, say "A" and the one on the right(2) holds another unique distinction "B" ; and if (2) is also capable of achieving the same feat "A" then identify all the unknowns. :) Hint -this is a current affairs question no doubt!
(1) *********************************(2)
Answer: The first picture is that of Vittorio Pozzo(and not Mourinho Sandy) who is the only national coach of a football team to win World Cup titles back to back(1934 and 1938). Marcello Lippi(pic. 2) on the other hand is the only coach in the world to have won a World Cup and the Champions League. Marcello Lippi is still touted as a favourite to reenact Pozzo's incredible feat this year. Answer cracked by Vinay and Anand. Well done.
b) While the creator drew inspiration for his character from the movie "X" he watched, Y and Z were the personalities from which the character's first and last names were framed. Who is the creator, and id X,Y and Z. Should be a fairly simple one. Y was a Scottish patriot and Z was a US Army general.
Answer: In a surprise turn of events, Vinay actually gets this wrong! Bob Kane, inspired by Douglas Fairbanks' movie " The Mark of Zorro" (X) created Batman. Bruce Wayne on the other hand takes his name from the Scot patriot Robert Bruce (Y) who is portrayed in Mel Gibson's Braveheart and Mad Anthony Wayne (Z). Well spotted by Sandheep and Anand.
