- The update promises to make networks more responsive and reliable for the eventual development of new industrial automation, medical monitoring and driverless cars.

I found this one very confusing.I just could decipher that there are 2 mandatory pairs-3&1 and 4&2 .But I couldn’t understand where 5 would be placed.
It was a tough one, Shubhra. If you look more closely, you’ll see that 54 is also a pair, since 5 brings in the aspect of the ‘upgrade’ and 4 continues the narrative with what the update promises.

10 correct answers out of 15. This was a lengthy and somewhat difficult parajumble. I’d have to pull something special out of my parajumble-making repertoire to come up with a harder, yet doable one. Everyone, who got it right- excellent! 🙂
