machan quiz weight o weight da..i loved the virudhunagar thing..I am trying to guess the theme though now.
well, the only question I completeyly got is the one on KKK but I think I have figured out the theme, though not sure how it applies completely. Here is my explanation. The theme is Sherlock Holmes/Arthur Conan Doyle. Explanation:
30. Holmes uses frequency analysis in "adventure of the dancing men"
31. Not sure
32. "The Adventure of the Six Napoleons" (got that from wikipedia)
33. Not sure
34. Not sure
35. Doyle was a member of the RSC before writing or something
36. No idea
37. Doyle's only wicket!

i just read the kkk trivia in freakonomics. (was that ur source?)
