Q1.
• In the summer of 2004, slow left arm bowler Ashley Giles gained the
nickname "King of X ", after a set of mugs ordered in 2000 (for his
testimonial year) were erroneously printed with that slogan, instead of the
original quote.
• They were originally only two of these mugs produced, one of which Giles
used for his coffee in the dressing room (this mug was subsequently
stolen), and another on display in the club shop.
• However, after the error was publicised, a further two hundred mugs were
produced with the image of actual king of X on the other side and were
snapped up by Warwickshire fans. Later, English fans would sing in the
native language of X in the honour of Giles.
• X is the erroneous version of Y which was Giles’ skill set.
• Give X and Y.

Answer
• X- Spain
• Y- Spin

Q2.
• X is the main character of a popular folk tale in India and Pakistan. As all folk
tales go, this tale too has a moral, a moral which seems almost forced and
contrived. As told, the protagonist of the story has been portrayed as a loser,
a character living in a world of his self-created illusions. A person who dreams
of becoming rich and famous, while all that he possesses is an egg.
• If we talk of Mughal history, X was a saint and was the spiritual master of
Dara Shikoh, the eldest son of Shah Jahan and his name meant as the one
who practiced spirituality for 40 days.
• In 2018, Indian rapper Raftaar released a song named X in reply to Emiway’s
“Samajh Mein Aaya Kya” in then on-going feud. X was also aptly named
because of Emiway’s original name.
• Give X (a two-word name).

Q3.
• The film in the question, follows the story of a teenage girl who is an
aspiring dancer but is diagnosed with alopecia, a condition where she
starts losing hair rapidly.
• This film stars Shweta Tripathi as the patient with Jeetendra aka Jeetu of
TVF fame paired opposite her and it released on March 29, 2019.
• The title is a word play on a catchphrase used in daily lives to express a
hopeless situation where things have gone out of one’s hands and no one
could save themselves from doom.
• Give the title of this Bollywood movie which is a corrupted version of the
catchphrase and aptly titled with respect to the medical condition.

Q4.
• “Times-Roman was the font of choice for the web at that time, while sans-serif
fonts were the darling of the printed world. I wanted the readability of a serifed
font, but looked for a typeface that had the same qualities we were looking for
– subtly sophisticated, but with some humor and irreverence “.
• The chosen typeface is a based on Catull, an old style serif typeface. Catull
borrows elements from traditional writing instruments such as the quill and the
chisel with a modern twist. Search, by nature, is an activity that requires we
look into the past. Therefore Catull’s historical ties seemed appropriate, as did
the bridging between the old analog world and the new emerging digital era.”
• This was the reply of Ruth Kedar, a Brazilian artist about her design of which
logo?

Q5.
• In 2012, the band members of X auditioned as 5 solo contestants on the second
season of the American televised singing competition The X Factor and later
formed an all-girl band on the show.
• Initially, the group's name was "Lylas" (an acronym for Love You Like a Sister), but
another group called "The Lylas" (which consists of four of Bruno Mars' sisters)
claimed that the show (X-Factor USA ) stole their name. So, they changed it to
1432.
• However, a section of judges including Simon Cowell were critical of the new
name, and Cowell suggested that the group be renamed again. Cowell decided to
send 1432 through to the Top 12 and announced that they would be renamed via
the viewers online. The name chosen by the public was announced: “X“ .
• X would go on to produce hits like “Work From Home” and “Por Favor”. Later,
“Havana” hit maker Camila Cabello would quit the band to pursue her solo career.
• Give X

Q6.
• The X cars were built in Canterbury, Kent and stored
at Higham Park, Zborowski's country house at
Bridge near Canterbury.
• The cars were so loud that Canterbury reportedly
passed a by-law prohibiting them from entering
within the city walls. The origin of the phrase is
disputed, but may have been inspired by
aeronautical engineer Letitia X, the sound of an
idling aeroplane engine or from a salacious World
War I song.
• The phrase would go on to be popular among the
masses as Ian Fleming would use the phrase for his
1964 children novel involving X cars before he died.
• In modern-day world, the phrase has been used as
a cheat-code for flying cars in GTA San Andreas.
• Give the phrase.

Answer

Q7.
• In the season 4 of Arrow, Oliver Queen invites John Constantine reprised by

• In the episode, Constantine asks for a list of materials for the mentioned
process which included a dead peacock feather and it was used by him to
scratch an itch on his back.
• Many would rub it off as a comic relief but the fans pointed out that Ryan
was merely taking a dig at an entity synonymous with the peacock due to
his short association with the “entity” caused by the latter.

Answer
• Matt Ryan was taking a dig at NBC as they cancelled his show based
on the DC comics character.

yakuza boss O-Ren-Ishii, meet up at a local
pub in Tokyo for a get-together. One of Ishii’s
henchmen addresses the manager as X, a
famous comic-art character due to his
striking resemblance to X.
• As Tarantino never fails to amuse the
viewers with his pop-culture references in
his movies, who is X which was created in
the late 1940s and made its debut in 1950 as
the protagonist of the comic strip.

Q9.
• The X Generation is the generation that came of age during World War I,
which took the lives of 40 million people.
• “X” in this context also means “disoriented, wandering, directionless”—a
recognition that there was great confusion and aimlessness among the war's
survivors in the early post-war years.“
• The term is particularly used to refer to a group of artists, and particularly
American expatriate writers, living in Paris during the 1920s.

inconsistency and hurt.
• Although the team could not go on to win the Cup, the fans
applauded the person and called him for the knighthood.
• Who is the person in the context?

Q6.
• The word “X" perhaps came from the o-grade of the Proto-Indo-European
root *men- ("to think") or from root *men- ("to tower, mountain") since all
the most important cult-centres of the X were on mountains or hills. R. S. P.
Beekes rejects both etymologies and suggests a Pre-Greek origin.
• In Greek mythology, X are the inspirational goddesses of literature, science,
and the arts. They are considered the source of the knowledge embodied
in the poetry, lyric songs, and myths that were related orally for centuries
in these ancient cultures.

Answer: Am I a joke to you ? meme

Q8.
• The X effect is the phenomenon that poets are more susceptible to mental illness
than other creative writers. The term was coined in 2001 by psychologist James C.
Kaufman. Although many studies (e.g., Andreasen, 1987; Jamison, 1989; Ludwig,
1995) have demonstrated that creative writers are prone to mental illness, this
relationship has not been examined in depth.
• This early finding has been dubbed "the X effect", and implications and
possibilities for future research are discussed. Kaufman's work further
demonstrated that female poets were more likely to experience mental illness
than any other class of writers.
• X is credited with advancing the genre of confessional poetry and is best known
for two of her published collections, The Colossus and Other Poems and Ariel, and
The Bell Jar, a semi-autobiographical novel published shortly before her death. In
1982, she won a posthumous Pulitzer Prize for The Collected Poems.
• Who is X?

Q9.
• Born in Keri, X was an Indian classical vocalist of the Jaipur-
Atrauli gharana. A protege of Ustad Alladiya Khan (1855–1946),
the founder of the gharana, from age sixteen, she went on to
become one of the most noted khayal singers of the second half
of the 20th century
• X has the further distinction of having one of her recordings,
"Jaat Kahan Ho", duration 3:30 (an interpretation of raga
Bhairavi) included on the Voyager Golden Record, a gold-plated
copper disc containing music selections from around the world,
which was sent into space aboard the Voyager 1 and 2
spacecraft in 1977.
• The recording was recommended for inclusion on the Voyager
disc by the ethnomusicologist Robert E. Brown, who believed it
to be the finest recorded example of Indian classical music.

Q10.
• One of the most common suggestions, Wilson says, is that the
progression is related to minutes on a clock. “It’s been suggested that
the monks would look at the clock, the 4 points and somehow felt
that was a good way of scoring,” she says, “and then 45 became 40,
though nobody knows why.” Clocks were rapidly developing in the
Middle Ages and division into a rough quarter hour was imaginable.
This theory’s detractors point out that minute hands on clocks were
only introduced in the late 1500s and became common even later.
Which scoring aspect of the game ?

Answer
• Tennis and its point scoring system.
• 15, 30, and 40 points
