Agni, the God of fire, wanted to devour the Khandava forest, to regain his
power and splendour. He had enlisted the help of the two heroes, Krishna

This is Andrew Ryan, a character in the game Bioshock.
In the game, it is shown that he set fire to his own land rather than let it
fall into public hands..
This is a direct reference to a character from one of X’s books.
And like X, Ryan is an immigrant to USA from the Soviet Union.
In the words of the creator, Ken Levine,
“What I was trying to do with BioShock was to say, ‘Okay, well, that’s a
utopia where X, who made the philosophy, made all the rules, and all
the characters were under her control. What if things weren’t under
everybody’s control?’ And I think that’s the problem with utopias — we
bring ourselves to it, you know? We think we’re leaving our problems
behind but – I don’t mean this in a cynical way – we are the problem.
Like whatever social problems that occur come out of us. It’s not like
they fall out of the sky. I think people think they’re going to go to a
utopian society, and I think it’s not really possible”

The phrase “____ __ ___” came about in the 17th century.
Originally a pastime in which one person claimed an article belonging to another
and offered something in exchange, any difference in value being decided by an
umpire. All three deposited forfeit money in a cap; the two opponents showed their
agreement or disagreement with the valuation by bringing out their hands either full
or empty. If both were the same, the umpire took the forfeit money; if not it went to
the person who accepted the valuation.
A Similar technique was begun in the late 18th century wherein an umpire decided
the weight to be carried by each horse, the owners showing acceptance or dissent
in a similar way: hence in the late 19th century, the word __X__ (derived from the
blanked phrase) came to mean the extra weight given to the superior horse.

_____ ___ standing at 430m is the largest hill in the region, situated in South Africa.
A battle between the British Forces and the South African Forces was fought here in
1900 during the second Boers War.
In local language, the two words (blanks above) mean "spy hill" or "spy outcropping"
or similar variations.
The first usage of these two words (alternatively only the last word is used) in sports
contexts, was when a local newspaper man compared the silhouette of people
standing on a newly raised bank of earth to soldiers standing atop the hill at the Battle
of _____ ___.
The most famous _____ ___ in recent times is the one at _______. An anagram of

This paradox arose when Lewis Fry Richardson, a mathematician back in
the 1950s was looking at the correlation between border lengths and
possibility of war and observed discrepancies between the length of the
common border as stored in Portugal records and Spain records.
More than a decade later, Benoit Mandelbrot came onto the scene and gave
a better explanation of this using his then young theory of fractals.
So what is essentially the “coastline paradox”?
The paradox essentially states that the length of the coastline is infinite
because the smaller the unit you take to measure the length, the larger the
length will appear to be (cause Fractals)

“It comes and goes. I find when I play a character other than myself, the
stammering disappears. That may have been some of the inspiration for
pursuing the career I did.”
This was said by a famous personality when asked about his stammering
problem, the worst of which is observed when he makes the “b” sound. To
overcome this, he has been using over-articulation, where he concentrates
and stresses on the letter before pronouncing it.
Now, ironically, or maybe deliberately, the two most popular characters that
X has portrayed have names starting with “b”.

Recently (<1 week ago), the age old problem of tiling the floor completely
with one tile was solved.
The new challenge in the field is to find a shape (if it exists) that can tile the
plane non-periodically, i.e. no local pattern repeats ever.
Such a tile is called ________, however it has nothing to do with the famous
German physicist of the 1900s. Rather it is the German translation of “A
stone” referring to the tile itself, supposedly the holy grail of this avenue of
research.
What is it called?
EINSTEIN- literally meaning “one
stone”
10.
Screengrabs from the mission All
Ghillied Up in Call of Duty: Modern
Warfare. Which city is this mission taking
place in?
PRIPYAT Amusement Park.
Never opened because Chernobyl.

Pope Benedict IX, born in Rome, was Pope on three occasions between
October 1032 and July 1048. Aged approximately 20 at his first election, he
is one of the youngest popes in history. He is also the only man to have been
Pope on more than one occasion.
Doubting his own ability to maintain his position, and wishing to marry,
Benedict decided to abdicate, and consulted his godfather, the pious priest
John Gratian, about the possibility of resigning.
This conversation led to what happening for the only time ever?
He sold the Papacy to his
Godfather
12.
There are mainly 3 species of the animal X. The specie shown on the logo of
this brand is specie A, visibly distinct from specie B.
Many languages across the world however do not recognise A and B as
different varieties, but rather as different animals altogether.
This causes a discrepancy in the name of the brand and the logo in these
particular languages as the name alludes to species A, the logo to species B.
An English progressive rock band, called X, also had an album cover which
was a nothing but a reworked version of the brand X’s logo.
X, A and B?
CAMEL CIGARETTES
X- Camel
A- Dromedary camel
B- Bactrian Camel

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by letters patent is the
combination of expansible buoyant chambers placed at the sides of a vessel
with the main shaft or shafts C by means of the sliding spars or shafts D
which pass down through the buoyant chambers and are made fast to their
bottoms and the series of ropes and pullies or their equivalents in such a
manner that by turning the main shaft or shafts in one direction the buoyant
chambers will be forced downwards into the water and at the same time
expanded and filled with air for buoying up the vessel by the displacement of
water and by turning the shaft in an opposite direction the buoyant chambers
will be contracted into a small space and secured against injury.
This patent application makes a certain person exceptionallly special in a list
of 45 people.
2. Full Pseudonym Reqd.

5.
The fallacy of sunk costs is an effect when a person’s/entity’s decisions are
tainted by the emotional investments that they accumulate, and the more
they invest in something, the harder it becomes to abandon it.
Better Call Saul’s S03E03 references this in its title “Sunk Costs”, and in a
dialogue between its main characters.
Now, another name for this is the X effect, after a failed endeavour which
saw similar emotional attachment and the sovereign pride of two
governments causing the loss of financial reason. It was started around
1956 and finally shut down in 2003. But by then, it had consumed huge
amounts of taxpayer’s money.

The new challenge in the field is to find a shape (if it exists) that can tile the plane non-periodically, i.e. no local pattern repeats ever. Such a tile is called ________, however it has nothing to do with the famous German physicist of the 1900s.

He is also the only man to have been Pope on more than one occasion. Doubting his own ability to maintain his position, and wishing to marry, Benedict decided to abdicate, and consulted his godfather, the pious priest John Gratian, about the possibility of resigning. This conversation led to what happening for the only time ever?

Many languages across the world however do not recognise A and B as different varieties, but rather as different animals altogether. This causes a discrepancy in the name of the brand and the logo in these particular languages as the name alludes to species A, the logo to species B. An English progressive rock band, called X, also had an album cover which was a nothing but a reworked version of the brand X’s logo. X, A and B?

The fallacy of sunk costs is an effect when a person’s/entity’s decisions are tainted by the emotional investments that they accumulate, and the more they invest in something, the harder it becomes to abandon it. Better Call Saul’s S03E03 references this in its title “Sunk Costs”, and in a dialogue between its main characters. Now, another name for this is the X effect, after a failed endeavour which saw similar emotional attachment and the sovereign pride of two governments causing the loss of financial reason. It was started around 1956 and finally shut down in 2003. But by then, it had consumed huge amounts of taxpayer’s money.
