Chemistry lesson plus French Airlines

In sort of addition to Sharat's post , the 'wonderful' quiz at MLNC (Moti Lal Nehru College) had a few controversial answers :

1. The Quiz master claimed at MLNC that Aeroflot(Russian Carrier) was a French airlines (or was it Aerofort) Anyway, seeing the French civil aviation site, i have been unable to see that Airline operating in France, infact i have been unable to find the airlines by that name anywhere, except a site which mentions the name but it also calls Cathay Pacific Cathey Pacitic so i assume thats a typo. The only French airlines which can operate in France are

Air France
Aircalin
Air Austral
Brit Air
Corsair
Icare Franche Comté
Europe Airpost
Twin Jet

Corsair and Air France are the only international ones.
Refrence : French DGCA (Direction Générale de l'Aviation civile)

2. Plus we got a question on the origin of "Satyameva Jayate" (satyam eva jayate सत्यमेव जयते) , the correct answer is Mundaka Upanishad (3.1.6), but they claim the answer is Rigveda. You may check the rough english text here , read the 3.1.6

Truth alone prevails, not falsehood. By truth the path is laid out, the Way of the Gods, on which the seers, whose every desire is satisfied, proceed to the Highest Abode of the True.
3. MLNC quiz conductors also claimed that RDX is actually cyclohexane, guess what ?

its not !

Cyclohexane ::






RDX (IUPAC name : 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane) ::

In addition to all this, there were several other factual anomalies, such as:

1. "Play hard, stay cool" is NOT the tagline of reebok.
2. Microsoft was NOT formed in 1982. Compaq was and Infosys was formed in 1981.
3. "What you dream" is NOT the tagline of sony.
