Hello namaste. It is finally time! Time to check how proverbial you are. I throw a quiz at you today. It is a picture quiz. There are 12 pics in this post. These aren't lovely pics as such... but just a hand-drawn assemblage. Each of them is the literal representation of a proverb (English). You need to find out which proverb.
oo
The difficulty level (which obviously gets increased because of my naivety in MSPAINT) for each pic ranges from 1-5... 5 is is the toughest and 1 is the easiest. Let's start.

2. Level 1
3. Level 2
4. Level 4
5. Level 5 (actually the toughest in here)

A good job Maddy. However, you got 3 & 6 incorrect. Rest are correct. :)
ReplyDeleteO man..that's really difficult..not my cup of tea...i couldn't guess even a single one..and the reason is obv. not the quality of the pics..but my skills..am not gud at this..at all..

No clue about the 7th one...
Ah! Dats ok Jamu. I still like you :)
ReplyDeleteShweta... Good jaab... You got three of them correct... number 5 is wrong.
ReplyDeleteSo, in all:
3, 5, 7 are left!
No. 3 is "Beggers can't be choosers"
ReplyDeletewow... that's called making it public... lol.. dat's correct.
ReplyDeleteLeaves us with 5 and 7.
Give us some clues, Kshitij!
ReplyDeleteAlright! Clue Time!
ReplyDelete5 - Clue a - Concentrate only on the boy. He looks ____ but he is actually _____ .
clue b - This proverb has got something in common with a common brand of something you apply on your hair.
7 - only clue - It has got something to do with the color of their clothes. Notice their mouth expressions please.
ok. Let's end this post. The answers are:
ReplyDelete5 - Have an old head on young shoulders. This refers to youngsters who possess qualities of wisdom one would only expect to find in experienced older people.
7 - Speech is silver, silence is golden. This means talk may be beneficial, but sometimes acquiescence may be the best option to take.
Thanks. I hope you enjoyed the post.
Oh, wow. Those are obscure ones, though I had heard of them. Well done, Kshitij!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I enjoyed this a lot. May we have some more interesting quizzes? ;-)
Thank you Maddy. I will surely put more quizzes... if that makes my readers happy :)
