Imperial Russia, revolving around the life and
assassination of Rasputin. The movie’s inaccurate
portrayal of Princess Irina and her husband Prince
Felix Yusupov (One of Rasputin’s actual murderers)
led to them suing MGM, and eventually managing to

set a precedent which can still be seen in today's film
industry. What was this lasting mark?

43. Q* - Odet Cascadec Bolloré, a paper mill, was created near
the Odet river in France. The second factory was
established in 1893 in Cascadec, France. By 1918 the
brand was truly created by René Bolloré and given its
current name on the basis of its origins. By 1930, over 86
million packets of it were being sold, with USA being the
major consumer. Since then the brand has become a
generic name for its most famous product X. Id X which is a
very common sight in engineering and undergraduate
colleges worldwide, but can land you in serious trouble.
47. Q* - It is believed that X were first made in 1300s by Aztecs
using animal intestines, bladders and stomachs which
would be flipped inside-out and then sewn vegetable fiber
threads. This would create an airtight seal and would then
be left to dry out and would be blown with air while
twisting it simultaneously—to trap the air inside in each
“pocket” and offered to deities. However, this practice has
been continued to this day after replacing the intestines
with a much more safer alternative and today X is very
popular with children and is present in
fairs/carnivals/magic shows and finds itself depicted in a
lot of cartoons. What is X?

rather have his sister than his shirt."

iconic moments. ID X or Y(1 extra point for both).

66. Q* - In picture is a Slot Machine, often found in casinos.
Traditional slot machines are coin-operated machines with
three or more reels, which spin when a lever on the side of the
machine is pulled and if you’re lucky it gives you a massive
payout for your nickel if all your reels match. This gives the user
a (dopamine) rush, which is why you keep spinning, making SMs
very addictive and is banned in certain countries/states.
However, Almost all major Social Networking Platforms take
inspiration from these Slot Machines and have a very identical
system in place to keep users addicted. What design of Social
Network Platforms is being talked about?
