To all my fellow Quizzicists,
As always another new quiz post in another brand new day. How the times have changed since the last post. Man United are the champions of Europe, Hillary is out of presidential contention and BJP form their 1st Government in the South (finally, the time has come!). Enough of me chattering on, go ahead and let your gray cells do their work!
Happy Quizzing
Sudar
