Bollywood actors jigsaw quiz

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 12:00:00 +0000

I've jumbled up pictures of 10 Bollywood actors. You can move the jumbled blocks around, like a jigsaw. Can you guess the actors?

S Anand 23 Aug 2008 4:15 am: @Sathya: Jigsaw 5 is not Aamir Khan, Sathya. He is on the list, though.
Saurabh 23 Aug 2008 5:20 am: Nice one, and was able to solve it as well within 5 mins :)
kay 24 Aug 2008 8:46 am: Any idea why the clues don’t open up for me? I’d be interested in knowing.
sathya 25 Aug 2008 2:30 am: I dint mean Aamir khan … but Ak Kh (son of an actor) … in case u r planning to post the answers, i’ll wait.
S Anand 27 Aug 2008 7:13 am: @Sathya: I used his name without the “e” after the first name. That seemed to have more results on a Google search that with. But you’re right – Wikipedia spells his name with the “e”.

Of course, all of this wouldn’t be a problem if I implemented a decent fuzzy search like my other quizzes. Will do that.
sathya 28 Aug 2008 3:26 am: yeah. fuzzy search is a good idea. Another approach could be to use the “did u mean” like functionality that search engines offer. Peter Norvig’s approach could be used for this (which you had also linked in one of your posts).

I would be curios to know which approach and how, you are going to implement the fuzzy search.
Kalpesh 14 Sep 2008 6:05 am: Hi Anand,

I dont know how I stubled upon your blo & since then has become a fan ;)

Solved this one in 5 mins.

The feed shows multiple posts for same title in bloglines. Is it because of you updating the same post?
S Anand 15 Sep 2008 12:43 am: @Kalpesh: That’s right. Every time I make a minor tweak to the post, it’s shown again, I’m afraid.
smrithy 1 Dec 2011 1:18 pm: hii, i found all actors except the 2nd ones.. can i get some clues for him???

sathya 14 Aug 2008 6:52 am: the score says 10/5 for all correct answers. pls check :-)
ectp 14 Aug 2008 11:14 am: 10/10 :)
Had problems with the spelling in q.8.
Can’t complain, as the standard “Don’t worry about the spelling. Just spell it like it sounds, and the box will turn green.” was not there. :)
S Anand 15 Aug 2008 12:47 am: Yeah, this quiz is a bit finicky on the names. Sorry about that!

The songs were moving enough. The lyrics turn out to be beautiful too. The beauty of the language really comes out with songs like these.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

sudhir 11 Mar 2010 4:41 am: Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge & Pyaar to Hona Hi Tha should be removed….instead Dil Chahta Hai and Swades should be included
Sachin 16 Aug 2010 5:39 pm: I agree with Sudhir…instead Pyassa (Guru Dutt) and Guide should be included.
