
 In 2010, it was discovered that male mouse urine
contains a specific pheromone that invokes inherent
sexual attraction by stimulating memory of the
female mice thereby conditioning them to the
airborne odors of an individual scent owner. The
protein itself was named after the archetypal cold
and seemingly arrogant romantic hero, the
protagonist of a Regency era novel. What
protein/character?


 Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice
Darcin/Mr. Darcy


 Nilambur is a town in the Malappuram district of Kerala
which is home to Conolly’s Plot, the oldest teak plantation
in the world and the Teak Museum, the only one of its
kind in the entire world. Nilambur’s teak wood has
traditionally been used by a 108 year-old company that
manufactures most of its products on special orders.
Wood from a single tree is used exclusively in a single
product so as to maintain uniformity of grain, colour and
age. Each item is said to feature up to 41 different wooden
panels and teak from a single tree pushes the price tag up
by at least 2 lakh. What company?


 Each car’s wooden interior would use the Nilambur
teakwood.
Rolls-Royce


 In 1941 Jake LaMotta was rejected for military
service because of mastoid operations on one of his
ears. He started professional boxing and rose to fame
after defeating Sugar Ray Robinson in 1943 and went
on to win the World Middleweight Championship in
1949 successfully defending it twice in the following
year before finally losing it to Robinson in 1951. His
autobiography Y (1970), was made into a famous
Oscar winning 1980 Martin Scorsese film. In 1990 he
was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of
Fame. Y?


 When he was called up to replace the Gujarat captain
who was injured on the morning of the match he
scored hundreds in both innings of his
debut, becoming the second man after Arthur Morris
to do so. He led India to a series win against England
in 1961-62 and captained the side to West Indies the
same season. However, this Indian Captain never
played a test for India after being hit on the skull by
a delivery from the West Indies fast bowler Charlie
Griffith. Who are we talking about?


What is this ritual?
Funda


 Satanic ritual to convert deceased person (in grave)
homosexual. Was done to protest Westboro Baptist
Church activities – convert the founder’s deceased
mother into a lesbian.


 In 1956, Al Fieldstein took over Y magazine. He recalls ;
 ―This kid was the perfect example of what I wanted. So I put an
ad in the New York Times that said, "National magazine wants
portrait artist for special project." In walked this little old guy in
his sixties named Norman Mingo, and he said, ―What national
magazine is this?‖ I said ―Y,‖ and he said, ―Goodbye.‖ I told
him to wait, and I dragged out all these examples and postcards
of this idiot kid, and I said, ―I want a definitive portrait of this
kid. I don't want him to look like an idiot—I want him to be
loveable and have an intelligence behind his eyes. But I want
him to have this devil-may-care attitude, someone who can
maintain a sense of humor while the world is collapsing
around him.” I adapted and used that portrait, and that was the
beginning.‖ Which kid is being talked about?


 ALFRED E NEUMAN
 MAD MAGAZINE


Who’s in this
picture? put Fundae.


 That was the real Lorraine Warren and Anabelle
doll.
 The Conjuring is based on it.
The Conjuring


 X, debuting in 1991, was one of very few shows that
pictured observant, identifiably Jewish families.
Jewish and Christian religion groups gave the show
high praises for their special holiday episodes.
Nonetheless, at one point the Anti-Defamation
League and The Washington Post editorial page
castigated the series for its depiction of Tommy
Pickles' maternal grandparents, who purportedly
looked like Nazi-era depictions of Jews. Steven
Spielberg described X as "sort of a TV Peanuts of our
time."


 X has been noted to cause the brain to involuntarily
picture combinations even when the player is not
playing (called the X effect). According to research
from Dr. Richard Haier, prolonged X activity can
also lead to more efficient brain activity during play.
Players lose a typical game of X when they can no
longer keep up with the increasing speed and
eventually Top Out. What’s X?


 FFC Frankfurt is the most successful club in the
competitions history, winning the title 3 times. The
reigning champions of the competition are VfL
Wolfsburg, after beating Olympique Lyon 1-0 in the
2013 Final. And so far, Germany is the only country,
which has clubs who have won this version and its
counterpart in the same year. What?


 He has become a cult comic character in Indian
cinema and has gathered a large fan following.
Aniruddha Guha of DNA called it the best character
portrayed by X. "Y, aapka ghagra," the lead
character, tells him at one point, referring to his black
cape. "Uthhata hoon", is his straigthforward reply.
His attire is a mix of a superhero and a pirate. X and
Y?


X: Shakti Kapoor, Y: Crime
Master Gogo


 John Nettleship was X’s chemistry teacher in school. So it
makes a bit of sense that X would use her former
chemistry teacher as the inspiration. Nettleship did not
know he was the inspiration for the character until the
films came out and his students, along with his wife,
pieced things together. X’s mother actually worked as an
assistant in the chemistry department under Nettleship,
so we can’t help but wonder what the real life professor,
who died in 2011, thought about the revelation that his
character was in love with the protagonist’s mother. This
was an inspiration for which character?


X: JK Rowling; Severus Snape


 Like the thylacine, Xs were once extremely abundant (a
single flock could number in the millions) and they were
found all across the Eastern and Central United States in
the 1800s. But through the unfortunate combination of
being both delicious and easy to kill, they were also
hunted by the millions, and despite conservation efforts
in the early 1900s, there soon weren’t enough to maintain
a sustainable population.
 Right now, Xs are the most likely candidate for de-
extinction. They have two important things going for
them: We have relatively well-preserved DNA samples,
and there are other closely-related species that can serve
as a surrogate.


 This is the star of India Insignia , a variant of it is still
used by the BCCI as its logo as well as the royal
yacht club Bombay. What was it originally used for ?


India’s Emblem during the
British rule.


 While we may attribute X cooking to the Japanese, it
was actually a Portuguese innovation. Evidence lies
in old Moorish cookbooks from the 13th century that
feature X recipes. The word ―X‖ is actually thought
to have derived from the Portuguese word ―Y‖
which means ―Lent.‖ This makes sense, as the
Catholic population would eat fish on Fridays and
eventually decided to fry it (possibly because
everything tastes better when it’s fried).
Give X.


 The X is from Irish mythology and are usually seen
as female spirits. They were considered to be omens
of death and were believed to have come from the
―otherworld‖. They are generally thought to be
remnants of an ancient Celtic pagan religion in
which they were minor gods, spirits, or ancestors. In
English they are often referred to as fairies.
According to legend, Xs will wander around the
outside of a house wailing when someone inside is
about to die.


 X is a small town in Canada named after the Roman god
of fire, not pointy-eared aliens. And then Y arrived. After
the show became a global phenomenon, X decided to get
itself some of that sweet nerd money. Since then, the town
has developed Y fever, building a giant Enterprise and a
Y walk of fame. Even people from the show took note. Z
wanted one of the earlier Y films to be screened in X, and
when it was discovered that the town didn’t have a
theatre, they flew hundreds of residents to the premiere.
The town even holds an annual day commemorating Y’s
protagonist.


X: Vulcan
Y: Star Trek
Z: Leonard Nimoy
Annual Spock Day celebrated.


 In the Middle Ages and late 1700s, being sent to work in
Spanish mines containing X formations was widely
considered a death sentence because X was the one of the
most toxic minerals to handle on Earth.
 The name of the crystal means dragons blood, and it is
the main ore of Y. Forming near volcanos and sulfur
deposits, the bright red crystals signal danger of the worst
kind. X may release pure Y if disturbed or heated, causing
tremors, loss of sensation and death.
 Give me X and Y.


This is a painting by Henri Matisse called
La Danse. How can we associate it to
sports?


 The US Army, instead of spending millions developing
controls for their devices, use Xs to control their drones.
Since they’re so well designed and intuitive, there’s
virtually no point in using anything else. In a British
Army recruitment video, an eagle-eyed viewer noticed a
split-second shot in which a soldier uses what appears to
be an X to control a drone. When he wrote to the Army
asking why, they claimed that it wasn’t an X. They just so
happened to invent/use something that was exactly the
same because it was better than whatever alternative they
happened to have at hand.


 The word Y had started being used in the sense we use it
today because of its origin.
 Before the invention of guttering roofs were made with
wide ______, overhangs, so that rain water would fall
away from the house to stop the walls and foundations
being damaged. This area was known as the Y. The large
overhang gave good cover for those who wished to lurk
in shadows and listen to others’ conversations. Since the
area under the ______ was considered part of the
householder’s property you could be fined under Anglo-
Saxon law for being under them with the intention of
spying. Y?


 This perpetuates the name of the eighteenth-century
physician Franz X of Vienna. He believed that a magnetic
force flowed from the stars to act on us all and that
diseases were caused by blockages stopping the
magnetic fluid flowing through the body. He called the
force ―animal magnetism‖, a term we still sometimes use
for people with strong personalities.
 In essence, X was, without realising it, putting his
patients into a trance and giving them post-hypnotic
suggestions to clear up psychosomatic ailments. His
name thus entered language and became an alternative
term for Hypnotism. What term?


 Back in the 14th century though, Xs were the
backbone of agriculture. That is to say, they were the
guys who worked on farms. The word X is actually
an old French word that pulls its roots from Latin for
―country house‖.
 Over time, the meaning of the word gradually
changed: Farm workers were poor, practically
peasants. Peasants, being poor, are untrustworthy.
Untrustworthy people commit crimes. And
eventually we ended up with the modern day
definition of X.


 Ironically the word is derived from the name of one
of the great scholars of the middle ages, John X
Scotus a philosopher and theologian whose thinking
was so profound he was given the nickname Doctor
Subtillis, the Subtle Doctor. His teaching remained
influential from the 14th century until the
Renaissance when more modern theories gained
prominence. Those who clung desperately to his
teaching were mocked for their seeming inability to
modernize, or learn at all. They became Y and a new
word was born. Y?


 Though, one example of the use of the phrase would
be in the 1994 cult classic X where it meant to convey
something entirely different, what common phrase
usually when used by someone, conveys their desire
to be excused from an uncomfortable or awkward
conversation or situation?


 The hero Theseus was given a ball of thread to help
him find his way out of the labyrinth of Minos. By
following the trail of thread he left behind him he
was able to navigate his way to the exit. The word X
then became associated with anything which might
hint at the solution. X?


 The Blanks were called Eaves
EAVESDROPPING


 This perpetuates the name of the eighteenth-century
physician Franz X of Vienna. He believed that a
magnetic force flowed from the stars to act on us all and
that diseases were caused by blockages stopping the
magnetic fluid flowing through the body. He called the
force ―animal magnetism‖, a term we still sometimes use
for people with strong personalities.
 In essence, X was, without realising it, putting his

 X, known as Gryzor in Europe and Oceania, is a run and gun
action game developed originally released as a coin-operated
arcade game on February 20, 1987. A home version was
released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988, along
with ports for various computer formats, including the MSX2.
In X, the player controls one of two armed military commandos
named Bill "Mad Dog" Rizer and Lance "Scorpion" Bean, who
are sent on a mission to neutralize a terrorist group called the
Red Falcon Organization that is planning to take over the Earth.
 The Japanese versions sets the game in the year 2633 on the
fictional "Galuga archipelago" near New Zealand, whereas the
manual for the American NES version sets the game during the
present in an unnamed South American island.
X?


 This is one of those myths that have become incredibly
ingrained, due mainly to the popular saying that causes
us to basically accept it as fact without question. We have
all heard that when someone doesn’t want to deal with an
issue, that they are ―_____________________‖, which is
supposedly something the birds do when danger is near.
While ostriches do tend to run off if they feel that danger
is approaching, they have a powerful kick to defend
themselves. It turns out that while ostriches may hold
their heads low in an attempt to be harder to see, they
certainly do not ______________________.

Ostriches bury their heads in


 X is a Sanskrit term – used to describe the invading
tribes and horse tamers of 1700BC, who believed
themselves superior to those that they defeated .
After a few generations, people started applying it to
the social or ethical condition of being superior.
 In the 19th century, Max Muller modernized the
term when he tried to describe the Indo-Germanic
race, though later ironically he claimed that such a
race never existed. This term popularized in the first
half of the 20th century. Give term and put funda.


 Hitler and the Nazis claimed that they belonged to
the Aryan master-race. Blonde, blue-eyed and fair
skinned; congenitally a cut above the rest –
especially those with darker skins.
X: Aryan


 X and Bill Laswell founded the World Music
Supergroup: Tabla Beat Science.
 X’s was born to a legendary musician Y who was a
maestro in the same field as him and who usually
accompanied yet another legend who died last yeat
in December.
 X has composed, performed and acted as music
advisor for the Malayalam film Vanaprastham and
also features on the soundtracks of Francis Coppola's
Apocalypse Now, Bernardo Bertolucci's Little
Buddha, and other films.
Give X and Y.

 In the U.S. state of Nebraska, State Senator Ernie
Chambers filed a suit in 2008 against X, seeking a
permanent injunction against X's harmful activities, as an
effort to publicize the issue of public access to the court
system. On July 30, 2008, local media sources reported the
Douglas County District Court was going to deny
Chambers' lawsuit because Chambers had failed to notify
the defendant. However, on August 1, Chambers was
granted a court date of August 5 in order to proceed with
his lawsuit. However, a judge finally did throw out the
case, saying X was not properly served due to his unlisted
home address.


 X were German academics, linguists, cultural
researchers, lexicographers and authors who
together collected and published folklore. They are
among the most well-known storytellers of folk tales,
popularizing stories such as "Cinderella"
(Aschenputtel), "The Frog Prince" (Der Froschkönig),
"Hansel and Gretel" (Hänsel und Gretel), "Rapunzel",
"Rumpelstiltskin" (Rumpelstilzchen), and "Snow
White" (Schneewittchen). Their first collection of folk
tales, Children's and Household Tales (Kinder- und
Hausmärchen), was published in 1812. X?.


 In the 1980s, a grave of X was "discovered" in the
graveyard of St. Peter's Parish Church in Woolton,
Liverpool, and a few yards away from that, another
tombstone with the last name "McKenzie" scrawled
across it. During their teenage years, two band
members spent time sunbathing there, within
earshot of where the two had met for the first time
during a fete in 1957. Many years later, one stated
that the strange coincidence between reality and the
lyrics could be a product of his subconscious, rather
than being a meaningless fluke. Who’s X?


 A living legend on his own terms, he has received the
'Officier des Arts et Metiers', the highest award for arts
given by the French government, and a Lifetime
Achievement Award from Italy. He turned down the
honorary Padma Shri award from the Indian government
in the 1970s; in 2004, he accepted the prestigious Padma
Bhushan award from the President of India. On 3 May
2012, he was selected to be honoured with the Dadasaheb
Phalke Award, India's highest award in cinema given
annually by the Indian Govt. He was one of the favorites
of Satyajit Ray and holds the record for the number of
appearances by a leading actor in the film of an
internationally acclaimed director. Who are we talking
about?


 X’s trademark instrument was a
rectangular electric guitar that
he developed himself and
played in thousands of concerts.
It turns out he was jumping
around on stage one night, and
his massive Gibson L5 shifted
and hit him right in the nuts.
The next day, he designed the
smaller (safer) guitar we’ll
forever associate with him. His
name was re-popularized a few
years back and again this year in
August. X? Funda?

 Obama’s dog was

Bo Diddley.


 X, whose name appears in every strip in Morse code, and
who fled from Cuba just before Castro took over the free
press, considered himself a spy of sorts, and drew the
cartoon as a satire of the Cold War and a criticism of its
pointlessness. By 1990, health complications impeded his
work on the strip, and other editors of MAD took over the
task. He passed away on February 24, 1998. Y is possibly
the longest running feature in MAD magazine, and the
hilarious battles of wit between the
―protagonists/antagonists‖ are still ongoing in the pages
of the satirical magazine.


 In the old theatres a mixture of Calcium Carbonate
and Phosphorous was burnt used to produce effects
on stage. Which phrase originates from this?


 In the 18th century, wealthy visitors used to enjoy
the mineral springs and baths in a village in South
East Belgium near the German Border. Its become a
common practice amongst individuals of the 20th and
21st century. Which village gave its name to this?


 X(Procedure of preparation involved first boiling
and then baking) was first made in Krakow, Poland
in the 1600s and was later popularized in North
America and Canada. The hole could be used to
thread string or dowels through groups of X,
allowing for easier handling and transportation and
more appealing seller displays. Canadian astronaut
Gregory Chamitoff is first to have taken a batch of 18
Xs to space during his 2008 mission to the
International Space Station.


 In computer networks, a X is a computer system or
an application that acts as an intermediary for
requests from clients seeking resources from other
such systems. A client connects to the X
server, requesting some service, such as a
file, connection, web page, or other resource
available from a different server and the X server
evaluates the request as a way to simplify and
control its complexity. In Delhi university we use the
word in a slightly different context. What ?


 If you have been following the progress of X in this
year’s edition of the IPL, you may have noticed a
similarity between Y, the 2003 book by Michael
Lewis that inspired the Academy Award-nominated
film of the same name, and the way the franchise
have gone about their work. In a nutshell, X achieved
much success - especially at their fortress of the
_______ Stadium where they won five out of five - by
putting faith in a number of low-cost but highly
effective players.
X and Y?


 While it is illegal to take rocks out of the country,
some tourists bring a piece of X home with them
anyway. Perhaps because it is a sacred tribal ground,
people who bring a piece of X away from the site are
said to experience the curse of misfortune. As a
result, people regularly mail their rocks back to Y
with letters of apology.


 ―At first I could see nothing, the hot air escaping
from the chamber causing the candle flame to flicker,
but presently, as my eyes grew accustomed to the
light, details of the room within emerged slowly
from the mist, strange animals, statues, and gold –
everywhere the glint of gold. For the moment – an
eternity it must have seemed to the others standing
by – I was struck dumb with amazement.‖ What
breakthrough discovery is being talked about?


 Some Jewish and non-Jewish fans of this football club X
adopted "Yiddo, Yiddo!" as a battle cry and often identify
themselves as "Yid Army". While such usage remains
controversial, for the overwhelming majority of X's
supporters, it is used with pride. Some Jewish supporters
of X use it with a political consciousness of the club as a
bastion against racism and anti-semitism. For visiting
teams' supporters the Jewish connection continues to be
bolstered by the large numbers of - easily identifiable -
Hassidic Orthodox Jews living near X's stadium; but in
practice there is no evidence of Hassidic Jews attending
football matches. There is also a theory that a this club has
the financial backing of the Jew mafia.
