QUESTION 4
Y is a device used for these particular types of games.
A Y primarily just consists of a button and a photodiode. When you press the
button, this causes the TV screen to go completely black for one frame. At this
point, Y uses the photodiode to sample the black color it is reading from your TV
to give it a reference point. In the next frame, the game causes the target area to
turn white, with the rest remaining black. If the game detects a shift from black to
white from the Y’s photodiode in that split second, you’ll get the points.

QUESTION 7
This American company P which we may remember from our childhood had its humble
origins way back at the start of the 20th century. It wasn't a proper company in its
initial form, instead it was literally what its name stood for.
The founder utilized small wooden objects to help in the understanding of their
'clients'. As time passed the wooden materials were replaced with a cheaper material:
plastic. These plastic objects had found immense business potential and so there was
a chain of buying, selling and renaming of the company. However it's original name
survived throughout the years and today it is a leading manufacturer in its domain.
The current parent company of P also owns an Indian counterpart having the same
suffix as that of P.

X is an American show that started off as a comedy web series on YouTube and
was later bought by Cartoon Network.
X instantly became extremely popular with children and preteens due to its short

QUESTION 10
The X effect occurs when people devote so much time and attention to a
particular activity that it begins to appear in their thoughts, mental images and
dreams. Mental visualization of Rubik’s cube algorithms or illusion of the ground
shaking for sailors who come from sea, are some examples.
The first known mention of the X effect comes from an article in 1994, where it said
that “The X effect is a biochemical, reductionistic metaphor, if you will, for curiosity,
invention, the creative urge. To fit shapes together is to organize, to build, to
make deals, to fix, to understand, to fold sheets.”

The creative team of the company realized that a Y was a very effective way of
knowing whether your network works. While working on the project, they came up
with the words A (a sweet substance) and B (an animal).
From there, the rest of the Y got written by itself and earned name and fame as "A

QUESTION 17
This is one of the most accepted theories behind the term X used for this event.
X is derived from the Old English bēn meaning “a prayer, a favor.” By the late
eighteenth century, X had become commonly associated with the British dialect form,
been or bean, referring to the joining of neighbors to work on a single activity to help a
neighbor in need: sewing X, quilting X, etc. This derivation counters a long held belief
that X refers to a living organism which is known for its social structure and
interactions.
This also ties with the fact that the event X was originally developed in America where
neighbours would come together and thus help each other advance in a “particular
linguistic trait”. What are we talking about?

QUESTION 1
Amar Chitra Katha series of comics enthralled many in the current generation to
understand the cultural ethos of India, but it wasn’t a smooth run during the early issues
of the comics.
One such problem arose with an issue of ‘Valmiki’. It retold the story of the Hindu saint
before composing Ramayan wherein his lifestyle as a thief was depicted. Certain
groups didn’t take this depiction lightly and claimed their religious sentiments were
hurt. Effigies of Anant Pai (founder of ACK) were burnt at a few places.
To avoid any scope for such controversy in the future and to give a bold statement that
ACK respected all religious leaders, an artistic change was undertaken and the
design of cover pages of such issues started including a motif.
What change did ACK implement?

QUESTION 2
The introduction of this character Y was perhaps the ﬁrst time this practice was done
on a large scale. On the debut of the character, the critics remarked that it was a clever
plot device which intrigued the audience. Some preview screenings yielded results like
‘My curiosity is killing me’ with the audience pleading to end this hidden secret or they
would go mad.
Though this character Y stayed for less than 20 episodes, this practice was continued
with future characters belonging to the category of Y during the original run.
There are several fan theories about this practice with some claiming that this was
done to show the perspective of the main characters and to keep focus on the main
characters.

appearance heavily inspired by the main character of X - just take a look at his
shirt.
The main difference between the two is, while X is a story about the rise and
eventual fall of gangsters in the 1980s, our hero’s tale is about him rising to power,
eventually ending with a big shootout at a mansion, which much resembles the
mansion in X.

QUESTION 4
When we use XY in a common hindi phrase, this is what we refer to: Ys are taken
from the Monetaria moneta snails and were ﬁrst used in our land during the Indus
Valley Civilisation. The name X was because it is split on one side.
As the production of such shells was limited by nature, its scarcity meant that it
had value. The very ﬁrst mention of the Rupee can be found in the ‘Ashtadhyayi’
by Panini, in 4th century BC which noted the value of a rupaya to be nearly 5,275
XYs.
How we remember Ys in our childhood is different though. We used them to try

Since the purchase of X by Y, X continued to grow, becoming part of a larger

forged an ever-growing mythology of characters and plot elements.
With the development of an online merchandise shop an alternate revenue stream
came through before Y acquired X. This online merchandise of X sold stuffed
_______, T-shirts, key chains and gift cards.

QUESTION 5 contd.
Later in the future this merchandise was available in retail stores as well. Unlike

The real reason is that when Hasbro bought the licence for X from ______ toys,
they found that the current line-up of toys wouldn’t sell well in the American
market. To solve this problem Hasbro decided that the best way to create demand
was to give them a backstory.

QUESTION 6 contd.
They changed the original Japanese name to X, and then decided that they had to

QUESTION 9
In a paper published in the University of Colorado, Sociologists claim that using X may
convey unintentional negative emotions.
To ﬁnd out if X any measurable impact on students, they were given four versions of a
graded essay by an unknown instructor. In analysing their results, the researchers
found that when students disagreed with their evaluation, they judged the instructor
more harshly when X was used and as a result, rated them lower.
The paper theorizes that X is akin to using all caps when writing text messages – it's like
shouting at a person and those on the other end up feeling a little bit abused. It doesn't
really promote the learning process.

Question 10
X is said to be a thousand-year-old game. In the indian landscape there is strong
evidence of X existing right from the time of great empires. Variations of the game
have been found in ancient temples across South India. Nepali tradition says that the
game was created by Mandodari. The game was also found etched in a Portuguese
fort.
X is more of a mind puzzle game, which needs sharp memory power and keen
observation. It is an asymmetric game (advantages and disadvantages of players are
different) and is also used for gambling as it needs tactics and smartness to win the
game. Through this game, the players are taught the importance of teamwork: how
united and well guided 'A' can pause the movement of powerful 'B'.

QUESTION 3
X is something that all of us have used as kids, especially while we were in school.
A few years ago, a designer named McMillan created an online tool perfect for a
nostalgia trip, since most of us don't still have the 20-year-old version of this
software which we originally used for X.
To revive these cheesy designs, McMillan tracked down images of X on Google and
recreated them on his computer.

QUESTION 4
According to a survey by a school organization way back in 1990s, an effort was made
to understand the effects of X on behavior of students. The results were as follows:
● Decreased crime and vandalism
● Fewer suspensions and expulsions
● Better grades
However there were critics who found this study inaccurate and came to a conclusion
that if X were to continue, students would ﬁnd themselves shamed since X represented
an association with lower employment prospects and jobs of that nature usually
require X. Moreover students’ creativity would be affected since X results in a
monotonous environment. ID X.

QUESTION 8
In his book, Trigger Happy, Steven Poole makes the argument that X as a
