6. Q.2
X is a convex 3D homogeneous body which, when resting on a flat surface, has
just one stable and one unstable point of equilibrium. Its existence was
conjectured by Russian mathematician Vladimir Arnold in 1995 and proven in
2006 by Hungarian scientists Gábor Domokos and Péter Várkonyi.X is the end
result of a mathematical theory, which stated that a “mono-monostatic” object
was possible, and that this object must have one stable and one unstable point
of balance.X is world’s first self righting object. It rights itself up every time, no
matter how you move it or where on its surface you will place it. Copies of X
have been donated to institutions and museums, and the biggest one was
presented at the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai, China.Id X

11. Q.4
A small start-up in Grenoble, France came
out with these new vending machines. The
machines were conceived by co-founder
Christophe Sibieude who questioned if there
can be any other better way to pass time
other than snacking. So far, eight of the
minimalistic vending machines have been
installed around the city, each of which has
three buttons that correlate with how much
time one has to spare: 1, 3, or 5 min.So How
these machines actually help people to pass
their time?
13. Q.5
Hooters bar in South Africa came out with this
idea to help their customers by putting this
poster in washrooms. The poster advises the
customer to ask for an “angel shot” at the bar.If
they order the shot neat, the bartender will
accompany the person to their vehicle, with ice,
the bartender will call for a taxi, and if they ask
for an angel shot with lime the staff will call the
police. Many other restaurants are using other
secret codenames like Rachelle or Jennifer.
Whom are they helping and in what situation?

from Queen’s University in
Belfast, analyzed 27 out of the

28. Q.12
Ashutosh Sharma, a senior computer scientist at Adobe created an app called
Monument Mode that automatically detects and removes X. Ashutosh
demonstrated Monument Mode as part of the sneaks presentations at Adobe
MAX 2015, and proved that getting a postcard-perfect shot can be as easy as
point and shoot. Monument Mode works by looking through frames captured
during the live preview of camera phone — those moments before people
clicked the button to take the shot. By analyzing pixel changes in the scene
over time, the app can detect what parts of the scene are dominant, and which
parts are transient, then removes X from view. Monument Mode is currently a
concept technology and not yet available as a commercial app. X are really the
most irritating things in pictures. Id X

38. Q.17
X’s Law is an internet adage that states “The best way to get the right answer
on the Internet is not to ask a question, but to post the wrong answer.”This
refers to the observation that people are quicker to correct a wrong answer
than to answer a question. The term “X’s Law” first appeared online in 2010 in
an issue of the New York Times as a comment left by Steven McGeady, who
was a former executive at Intel. X never tried to patent his idea of Y. He once
said, “I was a small company and I figured, well, if I got a patent then I’d have
to go out and sell people on the idea that anyone could edit. That just
sounded like something that no one would want to pay money for.” Y was a
revolutionary idea and is very popular today among knowledge enthusiasts.

40. Q.18
A Bishop of Carlisle was supposed to have once won the competition with
the shortest-ever speech; he simply said, "I have never in my life."
Comedian Sue Perkins won the competition in 2006, marking the first time in
the event's history that a woman won the competition.Paul Burrows’ story of
how the lakes and mountains of the Cumbrian countryside had been stolen
from the county of Essex, leaving it as flat as it is today made him win the
competition in 2010.In 2013, Mike Naylor won for the third time of his this
career. Naylor, a 57-year-old man from Wasdale told story about Wassie, the
monster that lives in Wastwater, the local lake. Politicians and lawyers aren’t
allowed to take part in this competition as they are considered to be too
skilled at this. Which competition am I talking about?
42. Q.19
X is a brand-new company out of San Francisco. It's a brilliant concept and is
so because it drafts off of three different marketing trends: people resent
marketing, people don't have time to shop and less choice is better choice.X
is attempting to eliminate all the things we do in marketing (the expense of
building a brand and brand preference) in order to deliver at least parity
products at lower prices.X brags on their site, "...there aren’t 100 pasta sauces
to compare, there are three." And that's the case with all of their product
categories. Assuming people buy into the X concept and believe their claims
about carefully vetting all the products they carry, then making purchase
decisions will be easy and will be made with no regret.And the fact that
every product costs $3 helps make the decision even easier to make since
price is not a factor anymore.What is the concept?
