In the Gallery: A Fine Coal Miner
Did you know that Indian Ink was actually invented in China? Did you know that the man who discovered oxygen also made the first carbonated drink? Did you know that coal is the biggest freight earner for the Indian Railways? Do you know what your nail polish is made of? These were some of the questions asked in previous quizzes. The first in-house quiz at the Science Gallery Bengaluru, and the third at CARBON, drew from the sciences, the arts, the coal mines and other walks of life, very much like the Dire Straits song referenced in the title.
