12 Dec, 2015: Day 2

Question 1:
What award was won by the actor who played the title role of the musical that premiered in 1986 at the theater located at 57 Haymarket, London SW1Y? Answer: Oliver Award.


Start with the address, 57 Haymarket London SW1Y. That will get you Her Majesty's Theatre in the West End. Replace with award 1986 Her Majesty's Theatre in the search field and you will find the answer. The actor who won the award was Michael Crawford for The Phantom of the Opera.

Question 2:
What two northernmost territories of India lie 1,100 km southeast of Calcutta? (In alphabetical order)  Answer: Andaman and Nicobar Islands.


This was tricky and I only solved it by plugging in every territory south of  Kolkata before I realized I was going the wrong direction. Once you get a good idea how far from Kolkata is 1100 km, look for a territories map instead. I was looking southwest, on the subcontinent. Southeast was in the Indian Ocean. And there is only one territory out that far in that direction.

Question 3:
What 2011 updated book on the NHL includes 30 interactive facsimiles of memorabilia creatively inserted into the pages? Answer: The Official NHL Hockey Treasures.


Search for book NHL 2011 memorabilia. There are a few items that pop up, but this is the first.
