Hey nice quiz... first of all in your mail to quizkrieg, you have given the wrong url to your blog.:)
Anyways I would like a clarification... isnt Yamakasi, a group of people of who practice parkour and similar sports? I think Yamkasi isn't a sport in itself.

hey achyuth a commendable effort once again but hav a small complaint...the connect was quite misleading in the sense that u had asked for a sequence of words and there was no reference that u were looking for the name of a person....please take care of theat in future..

@ champ: thanx for the correction. i will take care abt URLs in the future, atleast to my blog.
I checked up Yamakasi on Wikipedia, and i guess you are right. i had seen this show on AXN(or discovery) in which people kept on saying that they had been practising yamakasi for this long and so on... so i guess i got a little confused. thank you!!

@prince: i will take care of that in the future!!
