6. 1. In the mid-1970s, professor Ernő worked at the Department of
Interior Design at the Academy of Applied Arts and Crafts in Budapest.
X was widely reported as a teaching tool to help his students
understand, his actual purpose was solving the structural problem of
moving the parts independently without the entire mechanism falling
apart. After its international debut, the progress of X towards the toy
shop shelves of the West was briefly halted so that it could be
manufactured to Western safety and packaging specifications. Its
earliest models were “the gordian knot” and “inca gold”. It is also
known as Hungarian horror.

9. 2. In mathematics and digital electronics, a certain type of number
system is used. it is expressed in the base-2 numeral system , which
uses only two symbols: typically 0 (zero) and 1 (one). Each digit is
referred to as a bit. Because of its straightforward implementation in
digital electronic circuitry using logic gates, it is used by almost all
modern computers and computer-based devices.

12. 3. In mathematics and computer science X is an unambiguous specification of how to
solve a class of problems. X can perform calculation, data processing, and automated
reasoning tasks. The word derives from the 9th century mathematician Muḥammad ibn
Mūsā al-Khwārizmī. A partial formalization
of what would become the modern concept began with attempts
to solve the decision problem posed by David Hilbert in 1928. x was derived from
guarismo and algarismo, both meaning digit.

15. 4. It is usually referred to small pebbles, used for counting and calculations, as on an
abacus. It is the mathematical study of continuous change. Generally, the modern
prototype is considered to have been developed in the 17th century by Isaac Newton
and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, but elements of it appeared in ancient Greece, then in
China and the Middle East, and still later again in medieval Europe and in India.

called "phi", named after the Greek sculptor Phidias. Its value is 1.61803. Leonardo Da
Vinci called it the "divine proportion" and featured it in many of his paintings.

28. 1. This number is considered to be unlucky in china. In their tradition,
certain numbers are believed by some, to be auspicious or inauspicious
based on the Chinese word that the number sounds similar to. Because of
this, certain Chinese based enterprise didn’t release its 4th phone model.
What is the number and the phone model?
29. 2. X has applications to many fields, including art, architecture, physics, as
well as to other branches of mathematics. The earliest recorded
beginnings of it can be traced to ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt in the
2nd millennium BC. Its earliest form was a collection of empirically
discovered principles concerning lengths, angles, areas, and volumes,
which were developed to meet some practical need in surveying,
construction, astronomy, and various crafts. Monuments like pyramids and
sphinxes were constructed using this.
30. 3. X got its name from the latin name for one. It is an American shedding-
type game that is played with a specially printed deck. The game was
originally developed in 1971 by Merle Robbins in Reading, Ohio, a suburb
of Cincinnati. It has been a Mattel brand since 1992. Tezak formed
International Games, Inc., to market X, with offices behind his funeral
parlor. The games were produced by Lewis Saltzman of Saltzman Printers
in Maywood, Illinois. In 1992, International Games became part of the
Mattel family of companies.
32. 5. X is an open source application used to express mathematical data in a
coordinate system. It is a non linear data structure consisting of nodes and
edges. What is X ?

38. 1. Who anticipated modern calculus and analysis by applying concepts of
infinitesimals and the method of exhaustion to derive and rigorously
prove a range of geometrical theorems, including the area of a circle,
the surface area and volume of a sphere. Other mathematical
achievements include deriving an accurate approximation of pi, defining
and investigating the spiral bearing his name, and creating a system
using exponentiation for expressing very large numbers. This was the
ancient period of Europe.
41. 2. She was born in Bangalore, Madras province, British India, to an
orthodox Brahmin family. Her father rebelled against becoming a temple
priest and instead joined a circus where he worked as a trapeze artist, lion
tamer, tightrope walker and magician. He discovered his daughter's ability
to memorize numbers while teaching her a card trick when she was about
three years old. Her father left the circus and took her on road shows that
displayed her ability at calculation. She did this without any formal
education. At the age of six, she demonstrated her arithmetic abilities at
the University of Mysore. In 1944, she moved to London with her father.

44. 3. X was born in 300 BC, in Alexandria was a Greek mathematician. He
was active in Alexandria during the reign of Ptolemy I (323–283 BC). His
Elements is one of the most influential works in the history of mathematics,
serving as the main textbook for teaching mathematics. X also wrote
works on perspective, conic sections, spherical geometry, number theory,
axioms and rigor.
47. 4. X was an English polymath. A mathematician, philosopher, inventor and
mechanical engineer, he originated the concept of a digital programming.
Parts of his work’s are incomplete mechanisms which are on display in the
Science Museum in London. In 1991, a functioning of digital calculator was
constructed from his original plans. The plans were successful in the 19th
century after he died.
50. 5. X was an Indian recreational mathematician who described several
classes of natural numbers including the X, Harshad and Self numbers and
discovered the X constant, named after him. Despite having no formal post
graduate training and working as a school teacher, he published
extensively and became well known in recreational mathematics circles.
53. 6. X (476–550 CE) was the first of the major mathematician-astronomers
from the classical age of Indian mathematics and Indian astronomy. He
called himself a native of Kusumapura or Pataliputra (present day Patna,
Bihar).

61. 1. I remember once going to see him when he was ill at Putney. I had
ridden in a taxi cab and remarked that the number seemed to me rather a
dull one, and that I hoped it was not an unfavourable omen. "No," he
replied, "it is a very interesting number; it is the smallest number
expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways.“ What are we
talking about?
64. 2. Often referred to as “one of the most unread books of all time “ for the
hard to grasp concepts, it included only one equation. This was deduced
by Einstein from his theory of special relativity.
67. 3. In Western astrology, and formerly astronomy, it is divided according to
the months based on the Greek gods , each occupying 30° of celestial
longitude.
70. 4. X is a book written by the Indian monk Swami Bharati Krishna Tirtha. It
contains a list of mental calculation techniques. This book is based on a
large body of religious texts originating in the ancient India. It was
published in 1965. What are we talking about ?
73. 5. X is a branch of mathematics that studies relationships involving
lengths and angles of triangles. The field emerged in the Hellenistic world
during the 3rd century BC from applications of geometry to astronomical
studies.
76. 6. The roots of what can be traced to the ancient Babylonians, who
developed an advanced arithmetical system with which they were able to
do calculations in an algorithmic fashion. The Babylonians developed
formulas to calculate solutions for problems typically solved today by using
linear equations, quadratic equations, and indeterminate linear equations.
By contrast, most Egyptians of this era, as well as Greek and Chinese
mathematics in the 1st millennium BC, usually solved such equations by
geometric methods, such as those described in the Rhind Mathematical
Papyrus, Euclid's Elements, and The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical
Art.
