Hrrmmmppphhh looks like the last two were hard got no one answering. This one is easy but kinda 6bit, but hey!! thats how stage2's are supposed to be:

1. This car company was created to market cars to women and produced cars that were intended be a family's second car or the wife's car. Since they assumed that men returning from the war would resume their responsibility of driving in a family, thus leaving women with no fun (of driving). (Remember all this was in 1947). The company didnt last long (only four years from 1947 to 1951) and only produced 97 cars. But it left behind a lasting legacy,what?


2. Connect (yeah go ahead and use help from the omnipresent one if you need to on this one, unless you are plane mad) :

  • NC18603
  • June 24, 1939 and  February 22, 1943
  • First Scheduled transatlantic mail service

3. In the mid-1930s, radio-controlled model airplanes became the basis for the U.S. Army Air Corps' development of the aerial targets for antiaircraft gunnery training. Starting in 1935, X in California developed several variations of an original design by former movie star and modeler Reginald Denny. Identify X.

Answers for #11:

1. That is the lady of justice the symbol for justice or Dharma. Dharma also = Yudishtra

2. The brand is Airavat. Airavat was also the vehicle of Lord Indra the father of Arjuna

3. The plant is nutmeg(seed) or mace(skin). The mace was Bhima's Weapon of Choice.

4. The Ashwini Kumara's were the twin gods of medicine and the Gods of Ayurveda they also represent sunrise and sunset. Also according to some legends they are known to have horse's heads in place of their normal human heads. In other legends  they are very learned in Ayurveda, and all forms of medical practice. Once they used this talent to receive knowledge from the sage Dadhici , who was learned in material and spiritual knowledge. Indra warned Dadhici not to teach the Kumars Brahma-Vidya since their occupation placed them outside that realm. He promised to cut off Dadhici's head should he not heed the warning. Dadhici relayed this to the Kumar's. With their great medical abilities however they removed Dadhici's head and replaced it with a horse head. Dadhici then spoke to them through the horses mouth. They were then able to replace the original human head of Dadhici after Indra cut off the horse head. In this way they received Brahma-Vidya, or spiritual knowledge.

Also the Ashvini Kumara's were the fathers of the Twin's Nakula and Sahadeva.

Stage 2. The Pandavas

P.S. the Dolby Prologic II was actually meant to be a subtle hint. Dolby Prologic II was the first system/codec to introduce 5.1 surround sound. So 5.1 and Pandavas need i say more...

So there ye go...
