Connect the 3 images above. The first depicts a scene from the old testament. You may google this one, but say so if you do.

Happy 4th of July!

The 1st pic is David with a slingshot which he used to kill Golaith. The 3rd pic is the slingshot technique of using the gravity of a planet to propel spacecraft through far distances. So the connect is slingshot?

2nd pic is of the Yahoo "Y". This connect is kinda far-fetched but Yahoo "slingshot"ed itself as a major search engine by using Google as the backend for a few years :).

Did not use Bing/Google/Yahoo for this one :).

Slings?
1: David & Goliath
2: represents a sling
3: Gravitational fly-by (slingshot effect), exploited by satellites to gain speed

Congrats Nikhil & Anonymous!

The first picture shows David wielding the sling against Goliath, the second picture is representative of the Y-arm of a slingshot and the final shows the manoeuvre they call "gravitational slingshot" that uses a planet's gravity field to accelerate a satellite.
