🤣. Oh come on yaar. It's a challenging puzzle set with well thought idea. I would have taken the challenge to ponder over the last clue given. You have google and so many hints now. The numbers are very very well known measurements of something. So it's not the inside knowledge of school subject that is required. For that google is there. It's just a general knowledge logic. Ok think about what other things we have asked in the past as options instead of name of persons. This might help you to know about the subject of school study apart from the point I mentioned that it's GK.

P.S. Ok. The numbers on the right are the reason why we are asked to set something in our IF profiles.

Find the odd one out? Just about everything in the list looks odd to me. 😆

Also remember the subjects we study in school.


In school, I studied English, Hindi, Maths, the Science subjects, History, Geography. I cannot relate the above list to any subject. Seriously.

But I haven't given you the only hint. Haven't you thought about any other hint I have given? And that subject is mentioned by you in the above list very specifically.

If I try google with these numbers let's say the first one with the names Shiv or Ram or Krishna or Hindu mythology, then I am getting the desired search results without knowing about the logic or putting any other word.

e.g.
29.97 & 78.17 Shiv
29.97 & 78.17 Ram

Ok both of you are online right now. Shall I give the answer?

Okk. The answer is virtually there in the above link. Both of you are online. So whosoever is going to actually understand and spell it first will set the next question.

23.03 & 72.62, Ahmedabad
22.24 & 68.97. Dwarka


Okay, Ahmedabad - 23.03 & 72.62 - ain't a holy city in Hinduism the way the others on the list are.

Oh dear, this was way too circuitous - next, you'll give us the IP addresses of websites that have the Ramayan, Mahabharata & other scriptures and ask us to give you the odd one out? 😆

Perfect.👏 Ahmedabad is my birth place and home city.😆 Other 6 are Mokshadayini puri out of 7. Latitude decides the skin colour - white or black and Longitude decides the time zones - day or night. Geography.

No dear. It was not TOO circuitous. It was just one degree away from the names of places and it was the unique identity of places. I thought the thread is meant to set challenging and intelligent questions to be cracked. And I had made every sure of it being locatable through google search with reasonable prima facie possible search attempts (which I myself had tried and actually gave clue too before giving the link). And once the name of the places were known, the answer was way too easy as you can admit now. So I would say I expected you two to crack this after my initial couple of clues at least and I probably would have taken help of google without any clue also (like I did in the previous question of 5 arrows).

Vidarbha

All others participated in the war either from Pandava side or Kaurava side or both sides split.

Other possible answer:

Kekaya

All others are still there within present Indian map.



And one more thing. I just tried to find today and found that Shonitpur and Pragjyotish both were modern day Asam. Shonitpur was today's Guwahati and Pragjyotish was today's Tezpur. I was knowing about both individually but today it just clicked in my mind together that how could both be Asam??!!!

One more interesting thing I found was that Banasur's friend Bhamasur was the other name of Narakasur. And he was shown fighting with Krishna in those Jarasandh wars in the serial SK. Bhamasur is the variation of Bhaumasur - Bhauma - Bhoomidevi's son. Can you tell me whether in SK, his killing by Krishna is shown during Banasur battle track separately (because I know that portrayal of open chested giant flying Narakasur and actor is different from Bhaumasur well dressed on chariot and with crown and bows & arrows in the serial)?
