Central Coast Mariners is an Australian professional football team that
plays in the A-League. In 2018, during a pre season friendly with an
amateur team, they saw more than normal audience footfall.
This was due to a certain “superstar” making his football debut. He is
known to be a longtime supporter of Manchester United, and is
optimistic of their bright future despite the club not doing so well.
Which superstar am I talking about?

The FIFA World Cup in the year X didn't have a traditional final.
Instead, the winner was decided in the last group-stage game
between Y and Brazil, where Y emerged victorious. This match still
holds the record for the highest attended football match ever with
the official crowd of 173 thousand.
Which year X and which team Y is this?
8. *Q5*
X had many references from the movie The Matrix. Like Neo
downloading skills in The Matrix, the protagonist can learn skills by
swapping between personalities across multiverse. The protagonist
was also given 2 options at the start that she can turn right to go into
the Janitor's Closet or she can turn left to attend her IRS Meeting
which was a nod to the Matrix Red Pill or Blue Pill concept. Also
some other instances being stopping bullets mid air, being guided
through cubicles from a threat by someone over the phone.

The show's triangle symbolism comes from Alchemy. The four upright, inverted
and crossed-thru variations of the equilateral triangle represent the four basic
elements of Fire, Air, Earth, and Water.
The shipping company's logo features the inverted-cross triangle,
representing Earth. The four symbols are used extensively throughout the show's
production design, appearing on: Clothes (particularly Ling Yi's geisha robe),
jewelry, doors, wall and floor panels, the radio room's Morse code ticker,
tattoos, and of course the mysterious tetrahedron and Solace's "puzzle box".
Which show am I talking about?

15. *Q10*
Tottenham Hotspur’s new billion pound stadium hosts a large
variety of food and beverage services for match going fans. The
Goal Line Bar is, for good reason, well-covered in the news, by
virtue of it being Europe’s longest bar.
The stadium also has multiple smaller pubs for fans to grab drinks
from; the name is a play on an action that might be performed on
the pitch, to applause from either section of fans.

Originally this football club wore pink shirts with black ties as their
uniforms. However the pink shirts often faded away after washing. So the

18. Q13
The sound effect was developed by sound designer Ben Burtt as a combination
of the hum of idling interlock motors in aged movie projectors and interference
caused by a television set on an unshielded microphone. Burtt discovered the
latter accidentally as he was looking for a buzzing, sparkling sound to add to
the projector motor hum.
The pitch changes of movement were produced by playing the basic tone on a
loudspeaker and recording it on a moving microphone, generating Doppler shift
to mimic a moving sound source.
What sound effect?
20. *Q15*
Green Revolution: The start of a new relationship, freshness and new

describe a fluke shot.
What is the term X?
24. Q19
Space Travel is costly and requires a lot of fuel. So, smaller payloads are
attached to very huge rockets to travel into space from Earth’s surface.
There is an alternate method to this. We could reduce the distance to orbit
which further reduces the speed and the fuel required to travel the same payload
which was done from the surface.
A certain Mr. Justin Lin used this alternative method in the recent times (2021).
Where can we see this method being worked upon/What are we talking about?
