Scavenger Hunt for Facts: Miss Nepal Universe's measurements?

Often I find myself looking for a simple fact, but am unable to induce Google Search to present the fact to me. To encourage Geebers to help me, I'd like to present my queries in game form: Get Brownie points for success and/or pick the next item in the scavenger hunt.

For example, I could hum the notes to the very famous Japanese song "Ue o Muite Arukou" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbTsG9jrJsU) but I didn't know the title or anything else. Someone at SDMB identified the song almost immediately. (There were 'Net sites that claimed to be able to identify songs from notes but they didn't seem to work here.)

When I watched Miss Universe long ago, the announcers mentioned each contestant's measurements (e.g. 36-25-38). I am mildly curious about the measurements of the recent Miss Nepal Universe. (She probes the boundary between voluptuous and overweight.) My Googling didn't produce the answer; does anyone here have better Googling skill?

(I remember half-listening to a Miss Universe show decades ago, and when a 39-inch hip measurement was announced I raced into the TV room hoping to glimpse such magnificent hips. The "punchline" is that 39-inch is SMALLER than the average American female hip size.)

Second result of a search on "nepal miss universe measurements."

38-32-40, 5'7", 80 kg.

Whew, that was arduous.

WINNER! Thank you. (Your hit shows up as 7th result for me now; didnt notice it yesterday.)

SmartAleq's turn to propose next item in Scavenger Hunt. Please make it more challenging than mine.

Jinx can't even spell 'Google'. That's his problem.

To play the game you have to think of something to search for that google doesn't know about. I might be able to do that once in a row if I'm lucky.

Coincidentally, today I was telling the grandkid about "Google whacking," which is coming up with a set of search terms that returns only one result. Wonder if he's tried it yet?

I didn't know I was going to be expected to come up with another scavenger hunt item after being an annoying know it all--but if anyone can find a file of the movie "Get Crazy" that ISN'T a VHS rip I'd sure like to know about it.

thepiratebay10.info shows "Get.Crazy.1983.DSR.x264-REGRET" I'm much too ignorant to guess what kind of Rip this is, but in any event it's a single seeder from 2017 so download chances may be poor.

Most of the top hits at Pirate Bay for "Get Crazy" are for porn clips.

That's the one I got that's a VHS rip--it's potato quality but better than nothing. And on PB you really need to use the filters or you'll cotch a truckload o'pr0n for sure.
