Question #1
X consists of multiple people carrying out an act descriptive of their name.
Although it is common knowledge that one person is enough to carry out the
act, it is carried out by multiple people in order to not attribute its success to a
single person.
Sometimes, one of the same tools used to carry out the act has some
modifications made to it. This is done to reduce the probability of success of
the act through that one instance of the tool. It has proven to make carrying
out the act easier. However, this technique is usually of no use, since that
person can usually differentiate between the modified and the actual items,
due to various Newtonian reasons.
ID X.

Question #2
Taylor Swift released her album Folklore in 2020, which caught the attention of
many literature fanatics. On her track Invisible String she says, “And isn't it just so
pretty to think all along there was some invisible string tying you to me?”.
The fans were quick to point out that it was a subtle reference to the novel X of
victorian literature where the character also named X expresses love by saying:
“It is as if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly and inextricably
knotted to a similar string situated in the corresponding quarter of your little
frame...”
In a literary criticism, this novel was said to be of Bildungsroman genre, meaning
that it focuses on the psychological and moral growth of the protagonist from
youth to adulthood.
ID X.

Question #3
Hay usually contains bacteria within it; this leads to (counter-
intuitively) moist hay being at a higher temperature than dry
hay. Thus, it is more likely to spontaneously combust.
Put funda as to how.

Question #4
This museum serves to "educate" visitors on a particular early
1950s event. In 2015, this museum was shifted from its original
place, where the event took place, to a new location in the same
country. The museum contains graphic images and models to
illustrate the goings-on during the event. At the end of the tour,
visitors are forced to shout slogans against the offending party.

ANSWER #5
Fast bowlers

Question #6
It is generally accepted that the first person who plays the ______ card
during an argument has lost that argument as well as as any trace of
respect, as having to resort to comparing your adversary to this person
generally means you have run out of better arguments. This principle has
also spawned a corollary, which states that as the amount of time
travelling increases, the chances of a particular goal of ______
becoming successful approaches 1.
Prior to the birth of ______, this was used in an umpteen number of
ways, and the references were mostly Biblical, such as Pontius Pilate and
Judas from The Four Gospels.
FITB.

The blanked out item in the article was set up out of necessity, to
save people working on the other side of the building the
disappointment of finding the coffee machine empty after making
the trip to the coffee room. Using a huge, world-altering
technological breakthrough from the late 1980s, this item was
“connected”, thus gaining the status of being the first of its kind. It
was finally retired in 2001.
What item?
Question #7

This long standing debate on this terminology began in the 19th century. The earliest
known proposal for the revival of this term A was published in The Republican of
Springfield, Massachusetts on November 10, 1901, which contained the following
statement:
"Now, clearly, what is needed is a more comprehensive term which does homage to
the sex without expressing any views as to their domestic situation, and what could
be simpler or more logical than the retention of what the two doubtful terms have
in common."
In 1961, an activist attempted to put this term in use, because she knew about the
separation of the then-common terms ____ and ___, derived from a word with
current negative connotations associated with it.
ID A, and FITB.
Question #8

A - Ms

Blanks - Mrs. and Miss

Question #1
There exists a popular superstition connected to the history of this
genre of music. The legend goes back to the 19th century, and several
eminent personalities in this field had "seemingly" fallen prey to this. To
avoid the curse, many others started their “Tenth” before releasing
their “Ninth”, thus trying to circumvent the curse.
ID a sensational personality, by whose name you would call any
person today who shows promise in this genre and on the basis of
whom the curse originally began.

Question #2
This object X (an abbreviation of the word XY) had its origins in an earlier
version of itself called YX, around the year 1700. The clavicembalo was an
inspiration for X but lacked a few qualities, which are aptly described by
the words X and Y themselves. In fact, the word Y has been adopted as-is
into the English language, and has the same meaning - "strength".
X also holds a distinction in the realm of its use, being the only object
falling into 2 of 4 categories in the most common classification of such
objects.
ID X and Y.

compositions below
have a certain
elements common

which was based on this Latin hymn that possessed the property being taught.
The word “Solfege” is derived from vocalizations of two of the syllables being
taught through this technique.
Another related technique to denote
solfege was developed by Isaac Newton
on the basis of one of his most popular
theories, where he associated each
syllable with an X and surmised that every
X vibrated accordingly.
What does Solfege attempt to teach?

Question #5
A harmonic cadence is a sequence of 2 or more chords that
conclude a phrase, section or piece of music.
A kind of harmonic cadence called the plagal cadence is also
termed as the X cadence, due to the setting of this cadence
to a common word X in a certain kind of song related to X.

songs, and derives its name from a most popular video game.

A study claims that someone is likely to be lucky if their name sounds like luck and has the
same number of letters. Hence As are supposed to be luckier than most men and Bs are
luckier than most women. This phenomenon is known to be the psychological effect of
“associative magic”, sort of like a placebo for luck. A was also a very popular name and thus
began to be used to refer to any generic man on the street.
B is the name of a space mission that is to be launched in October 2021 by NASA and is
named after an entity that has been very significant in understanding human evolution. This
entity was itself named after a song C by the Beatles because it was playing all day in the
expedition that led to its discovery.
There was speculation that this song had connections with LSD because of the first letter of
the nouns in the song’s title. It was thus rumoured to be banned by the BBC which was
engaging in banning songs with “dangerous” references. However, the BBC did confirm that
despite their doubts on the subject matter of the song, they did not ban it.

The BBC was also involved in having to meddle with the UK music charts following D’s
death in 2013. Anti-D people were campaigning to have “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead” to
top the charts. But the BBC refused to play the song even after it reached number two and
instead played an excerpt in a news report explaining why the song had topped the charts.
D was good friends with I, both being strong political leaders. I sent a personal message to
D after D survived an assassination attempt in 1984. Unfortunately, I was assassinated in the
same year.
“A-__-___-___" is a popular toy for children but it has also been used by cartoonists to
poke fun at politicians because like the toy, “election campaigns and politicians spin and
wait for a story to pop up to grab people’s attention”.
Speaking of poking fun, F’s satirical novel, whose title E comes from the English translation
of the name of an epic war, tells its story in the context of the Indian Independence
movement. Here, people from Indian history are transformed into characters from Indian
mythology.

One such example is that of the character G
who is supposed to represent H because H
was often called a blind idealist. In the novel,
G has only one daughter called Priya
__________ (unlike in Indian Mythology) who
is said to be equivalent to not 100 but 1000
sons and is said to represent I.
F also shared a photo of H and I’s visit to the
US on Twitter trying to draw comparisons with
the J event of 2019, but it backfired on him
with people calling him out for wrong facts to
which he responded with the tweet in the
picture.

ANSWERs
A - Jack
B - Lucy
C - Lucy in the sky with diamonds
D - Margaret Thatcher
E- The Great Indian Novel (Maha-bharata)
F - Shashi Tharoor
G - Dhritharashtra
H - Nehru
I - Indira Gandhi
J- Howdy Modi

Question #1
Many academics have compared X to Jesus Christ; surprisingly, not due to
their philosophical similarities but their effects on people around them.
Both were sentenced to death by the society they lived in. They both were
also considered as huge threats to the society they were living in, but were
posthumously regarded by their disciples who carried on their work only to
be wide spread. They were also well known for not writing down their
teachings or philosophies.
One of the poems of Percy Bysshe Shelley directly calls X as Jesus Christ of
his region.
ID X.

Question #2
This form of Roman military discipline was intended to be a pragmatic
approach to balance the need to punish serious offences with the realities
of managing a large group of offenders. A cohort (approximately 480
soldiers) were divided into groups of ten, each group then drawing straws.
The man drawing the shortest straw was then executed by his fellow group
mates, often by stoning, clubbing or stabbing.
Its origin is often incorrectly attributed to the Roman equivalent of
Lachesis, one of the 3 Fates of Greek Mythology, who measured the thread
of life with her rod.
What is the good word?

Question #4
X-Y was a radio navigation system used by the British RAF in the
early part of WWII. This used the aircraft’s radio to send out a “tiny”
periodic 1kHz tone which was picked up by ground receivers and
triangulated to find the exact location. X-Y received its name from
a contemporary comic “X, Y and Z” by Bertram Lamb, whose main
characters X, Y and Z have their names immortalized in British
Military history in the form of medals, weapons and a Churchill-
coined name for a famous military operation Z.
ID X-Y.

Question #5
A plausible explanation for the usage of this colour in the term is
the usage of lanterns of the same colour by women in order to hide
their boils, zits and other bodily imperfections. The women would
go out to sailors for business. The lanterns evolved over time, giving
rise to the term known today.
Another etymological source suggests that the usage of lanterns of
these coloured railroad workers gives rise to the same term.
What term?

Question #6
This phrase has been used as the name for an early 2000s album by a
90s rock band. The phrase was used to refer to the alleged
perpetrator of certain issues during the year 2000, which inspired the
songwriters to adopt a strategy of "distilling" political themes into
"childlike simplicity". The album art (on the next slide) was also
influenced by these incidents, and deviated from their previous art, by
having a much brighter tone and containing words that were picked
off of street signs and posters around the country at that time.
ID album name and the incident that inspired it.

ANSWER #6
Album name - Hail to the Thief
Incident - Vote tampering during
Bush elections

Question #7
Goldman Sachs recently revealed their custom typeface. However
it comes with a clause to be followed while using it. In response,
The Verge released a couple of slides using the font as shown.
What is the clause?

ANSWER #7
The font cannot be used to
criticize Goldman Sachs.

Question #8
Around 1996, when email was still new, the folks at the statistics
department of North Carolina University realised that an update to
SunOS came with a downgrade to SendMail (wonder what that does).
This defaulted the timeout for the mail to be 0. Now the emails could
only be sent to places that were closer than 500 miles.
Two parts:
Why did they even reach 500 miles?
Why did they not reach beyond 500?

Practically, there is a delay due to
electrical signals.
Distance travelled by light in time of delay
