Idea Brand Equity Pune Review & Questions

Its been a long time since i posted anything, i guess corporate life keeps one busy with little time left for quizzing. Newayz Idea Brand Equity Pune round was a grand affair and possibly the best venue so far. Questions were good and ambience great. Audience prizes were really cool and there was something for everyone present. I also attended the Mumbai round on sunday but din't note down the questions as Derek made it clear beforehand that he doesn't appreciate questions circulating online...but i am sure someone else will definitely put them online. I even missed out on a cool audience prize as Derek din't like me jotting down the questions (he said so when i answered the audience question and so no regular audience prize for me) The Pune questions are given below:
