Q5. To end it with a sitter:
This giant prison complex was built in 1864 and was given the name Schaellemaetteli, meaning 'the little field of bells' in Swiss German, because prisoners who were sent to work in nearby fields had to wear bells around their necks in order to prevent them from escaping. But the prison, which is located in the heart of Basel, was closed down in 2004 because the conditions in the 114 cells breached the standards required by the European Convention on Human Rights. The building then became a location for artists, being used as a theatre and a film set. Now the Swiss authorities have decided to reopen it. Just tell me why?






Answers:
1. These are the mascots of Mohan Bagan, Manchester United and Barcelona FC resp.
and the connection is that these are the only three clubs in world to have launched a co-branded credit card
in their name.

2. These are the pics of Daphne Ackhurst and Norman Brookes resp.
The Australian Open trophies are named as
Daphne Ackhurst Memorial Cup (women) and
Norman Brooks Challenge Cup (men) in their honour.
So the connection was Australian Open.

3. These are the pics of Gerhard Rach and Stephan Constantine resp.
and the connection is Gerhard Rach was the first foreign coach of Indian National Hockey team during the same time as Constantine was managing the Indian National Football Team, and it was for the first time ever that two foreigners were at the helm. ...bit weird Q!!!

4. These are the logos of Chicago Bulls, Chicago White Sox and Miami Heat resp.

Don't know the first 4, but am guessing they're opening the prison to hold football hooligans at the Euro's.
