Summary
In these 61 pages of Q&A by Vikas Swarup, Ram Mohammad Thomas answers the question about who created the revolver. His answer was Samuel Colt, which was correct, and for getting the right answer, he won 2 lahk Rupees. 2 Lahk rupees would be 200,000 rupees. In the next chapter, the question is about the highest award for gallantry given to Indian armed forces. His choice was Param Vir Chakra. After having to answer these questions, he is asked if he was guessing, or just wants to quit. But in the end, he didn't need to because he answered the question correctly.
Quote
"we stare opaquely at the dead man's body and nod, in fear and sorrow and guilt, as a liquid understanding spreads slowly through our numbed minds" (Swarup 190).
Reaction
For this passage, i expected no less of Ram to answer the questions he was given, correctly. i also think that Ram is lucky that he was able to learn about the subjects of the questions. Otherwise he would've lost all the money he earned and the book probably would've never started. But anyways, I'm glad that he was able to answer the questions correctly, thanks to his past experiences.
