QUESTION 1.
X is a nursery rhyme and lullaby published in 1765. The melody is a variant of the English
satirical ballad Lilliburlero (is a march that seems to have been known at the time of the
English Civil War).
Various theories exist to explain the origins of the rhyme.
One of the theories has it that the lyrics, like the tune "Lilliburlero" it is sung to,
refer to events immediately preceding the Glorious Revolution.
The baby is supposed to be the son of James VII and II, who was widely believed to be
someone else's child smuggled into the birthing room in order to provide a Roman Catholic
heir for James.
The "wind" may be that Protestant "wind" or force "blowing" or coming from the
Netherlands bringing James' nephew and son-in-law William of Orange, who would eventually
depose King James II in the revolution.
The "cradle" is the royal House of Stuart.
What popular nursery rhyme are we talking about?

ANSWER 1.
ROCK-A-BYE BABY.
Rock-a-bye, baby, in the tree top
When the wind blows the cradle will rock
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall
Down will come baby, cradle and all
Baby is drowsing, cosy and fair
Mother sits near in her rocking chair
Forward and back, the cradle she swings
Though baby sleeps, he hears what she
sings
Rock-a-bye baby, do not you fear
Never mind, baby, mother is near

QUESTION 3.
In 2006, screenwriters D.B. Weiss and David Benioff approached George R.R.
Martin, the author of the acclaimed A Song of Ice and Fire series, to see if
he was open to a television adaption.
That meeting spawned the creation of HBO's "Game of Thrones" series; now the
most popular series in the network's history .
In a Q&A back in 2013 , the story of how the showrunners gained the trust of
the author was told of how the three of them sat down for a lunch that was
eventually dragged into a five hour meeting. Martin recounted, "I did ask them
a few pointed question to determine whether they had actually read the books,
and they gave me the right answers."
When asked to specify what they were grilled on, Weiss elaborated:
“He asked us, _______________? We had discussed it before, and we gave a
shocking answer. At that point, George didn't actually say whether or not we
were right or wrong, but his smile was his tell. We knew we had passed the
Wonka test, at that point”.
What did he ask them?

ANSWER 3.
He asked them
“WHO IS JON SNOW’S MOTHER?”

QUESTION 4
_____________ was born in Cody, Wyoming, in 1912, the fifth and youngest son of a family of Irish-
Scottish extraction.
His work brought together elements of Cubism, Surrealism, and Impressionism, and transcended them
all.
The catalog introducing his first exhibition described his talent as "...volcanic. It has fire. It
is unpredictable. It is undisciplined. It spills out of itself in a mineral prodigality, not yet
crystallized."
There is also another quite interesting description of his work style in the movie “Deus Ex
Machina”:-
Nathan: He let his mind go blank and his hand go where it wanted.
Not deliberate. Not random. Some place in between.
They called it automatic art.…………
What if he had reversed the flow?
If _________ had said that” I will not paint anything unless I know exactly what I am
doing.”
Caleb: He never would have made a single mark”

QUESTION 5.
The X Award is the national film award of France.
It was first awarded in 1976. The nominations are selected by the members of twelve
categories of filmmaking professionals and supported by the French Ministry of Culture.
The nationally televised award ceremony is held in the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris each
year in February.
It is considered the highest film honor in France, the French film industry's equivalent
to the Molière Award for theatre, and the Victoires de la Musique for music.
In cinema, it is the French equivalent of the Academy Award in the United States and the
BAFTA Awards in the United Kingdom.
In 2015, Y won the X award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the critically
acclaimed movie Clouds of Sils Maria , making her the first American actress to win a
X award.
Id X and Y.

ANSWER 5.
X= César Award
Y= Kristen Stewart.

QUESTION 6.
Y is a bronze sculpture by X, usually placed on a stone pedestal.
X originally called this figure The Poet.
This name supports the theory that the statue was meant as a depiction of Dante.
But because Y doesn’t fit with the 19th century view of a tall, slim Dante, some have
seen a more allegorical nature: They theorize that it might be X himself regarding
his creation, or perhaps the biblical Adam considering the sins of his descendants.
The depiction of Y was originally part of X’s The Gates of Hell. Standing nearly 20
feet tall, the work was meant to capture the first section of Dante Alighieri's epic
poem Divine Comedy. Ycan be seen perched above the door.

ANSWER 6.
X= The Thinker
Y= Auguste Rodin

QUESTION 2.
That was in fact an upside down goalie mask cage purchased in Gerry Cosby's Sporting Goods in Manhattan, NY.
According to Ed Cubberly (creator of the mask) this is how the creation of the mask went about:
“The buyers were designers from the prop department at Strong Heart Productions, a subsidiary of Orion Pictures.
Coleen told me they were making a movie and needed a mask made. I said, tell me about the scene. She replied,
"Well, he's a psychitzophrenic who goes around biting people" I said, "So, you want me to make you a muzzle? ".
Colleen asked that I put on my thinking cap and get back to them. Having years of experience making old time
fiberglass goalie masks that fit exactly to the face, this was a no brainer. I dug up some photos of full fiberglass
masks that I made then drew an outline where I planned on cutting the mask. So in a matter of about 5 minutes, the
concept was born and sketches of the X mask were in the mail. Basically the X mask is nothing more than the lower
half of an old time goalie mask. Then I added bars over the mouth to make it look mean. I suggested to the props
department to leave the fiberglass in it's raw color of greenish- brown to make it look like it was made in the jail
housing X.
