1. Which 2014 blockbuster was based upon these ?
 The ‘10 percent of the brain myth’ is a widely popular
urban legend that most of the humans only make use of 10%
of their brains. It has been misattributed to many people
including Albert Einstein. By extrapolation, it is suggested that
a person may harness the unused potential and increase
intelligence.
There is a drug in the film called CPH4 which is a
representation of Estradiol or its derivative which is a female
steroid hormone in the family of Estrogen. It not only influence
the sex in the embryo it also helps in neural development and
Neuroprotection. The drug may also refer to Human Chorionic
Gonadotropin ( HCG ) secreted by the placental cells during 6th
week of pregnancy.

In 1995 Ericsson Mobile Communications was working on a
project called MC Links or Multi-communicator Links involving
short-range radio links with low output. This project was
headed by Sven Mattisson along with Jim Kardach, the head
of technological development of Intel. At the end of summer
of 1997 they were taking part in a competition with their
project. But their presentation was not successful supposedly
because their project lacked a name. They engaged
consultants to dream up a suitable name but nobody had
come up with anything good. At that time Jim Kardach was
reading the English translation of Frans G. Bengtsson’s “The
Long Ships” and he was fascinated by the man described as its
hero’s father-in-law. So he decided to name their project after
that character’s nickname.
2. What was the result of this project?

This is an X-Ray diffraction
photograph, known as photograph
51, of a certain molecule taken by
Rosalind Franklin, a noted chemist
and X-ray crystallographer. The
photo was acquired through 100
hours of X-ray exposure from a
machine Franklin herself had
refined.
Her colleague Maurice Wilkins, in 1953, secretly disclosed this
picture to two competing scientists working on this particular
molecule at Cambridge. Based on what they saw in the picture the
two scientists published their findings.
3. This picture facilitated which famous
scientific discovery?

Watson and Crick’s DNA double helix structure

Ductile to brittle transition is a
phenomenon found mostly in body
centered cubic crystals where the
toughness of the metal decreases with
decrease in temperature and after a
certain transition temperature the mode
failure changes to brittle fracture from
ductile fracture. This special behavior
of metal was not discovered in early
20th century and no special
metallurgical treatment was done on
steels to be used in cold conditions.
Due to which a sufficient force could bring about catastrophic failure
of the structure which is significantly smaller than the tensile strength
of the metal.
4. This metallurgical phenomenon is in many theories
regarded to be responsible for which disaster ?

It is produced by a force based reaction which occurs
as a result of the state-change of water. 13.5% to 14%
water by mass is required for this reaction to occur and
it is provided by the small drop of water that stays
encapsulated inside soft starch. As temperature reaches
212 degree Fahrenheit water transforms into steam and
changes the starch into a superhot gelatinous goop. It
continues to heat up to about 347 degree
Fahrenheit. The pressure inside reaches about 135 psi
and it bursts the hull open.
5. What do we get after the completion of this
reaction?

6. What brand in the world of
technology is named after this flower?

Retro reflection is a type of reflection in
which the reflected beam of light traces
along a vector that is parallel to but
opposite in direction from the wave's
source. A device or surface that possesses
this ability is called a retro reflector.
These retro reflectors are used
extensively in road signs, embedded in
roads at the corners and divider
lines, vehicles mainly bicycles, and
special safety clothing etc.
In the world of comics X uses
the retro reflective panels in its stealth
mode to make it invisible to normal
human vision below a certain elevation.
7. Simply identify X.

8. Name the game they are playing.

Capture-bonding, is a psychological phenomenon in which
hostages express empathy and sympathy and have positive
feelings toward their captors, sometimes to the point of
defending the captors. These feelings are generally considered
irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims,
who essentially mistake a lack of abuse from their captors for an
act of kindness. The FBI's Hostage Barricade Database System
shows that roughly 8 percent of victims show evidence of this
syndrome. It can be seen as a form of traumatic bonding, which
does not necessarily require a hostage scenario, but which
describes "strong emotional ties that develop between two
persons where one person intermittently harasses, beats,
threatens, abuses, or intimidates the other."
9. Which syndrome and which bollywood movie
popularized this?

Stockholm Syndrome
and Highway

The prevalence of sexual cannibalism, a
behaviour in which the female eats the
male after mating, in some species of
Latrodectushas is found. This inspired
the common name of the genus.
Research at the University of Hamburg in
Germany suggests this ultimate sacrifice
strategy has evolved to promote the
survival odds of the offspring; however
females of some species only rarely
show this behavior, and much of the
documented evidence for mate
cannibalism has been observed in
laboratory cages where the males could
not escape.
12. Their common name
please!

X is one of the most important and famous organic
compound. It appears as a colorless liquid with molecular
mass 78.11gmol-1 .In 1858 Kekule reported the discovery of
this organic compound.
Since then , various versions of the dream have found their
way into scholarly analysis . According to one version , Kekule
discovered the specific structure after dreaming of ‘The royal
Marriage’ In another version kekule dreamed a self-
devouring snake alchemists of the 3d century A.D. Devised
to symbolize the underlying unity of nature . In others , the
dream involved six monkeys linking hands and tails.
About which compound or structure am I talking about ?

15.
X is another famous phenomenon which can be described
by the linkage of atoms of the same elements into longer
chains. It occurs most readily in carbon , which forms
covalent bonds with other carbon atoms to form longer
chains and structures. This is the reason for the presence of
the vast number organic compounds in nature.
Several other main group elements are also capable of
forming a expansive range of this structure including Silicon ,
sulfur and Boron.

Ankur P. Agarwal, the co-founder of PriceBaba.com
started a campaign to name this next release of
something as X. Some of the things he did for this
included mailing boxes of X to Larry Page and
Andy Rubin and campaigning outside the Google
headquarters. This campaign was however a failure as
the product was named Y in October 3,2013. Ankur
instead of giving up, decided to restart the campaign for
the next name, using Z this time .His second attempt

The company enlisted the help of creative director
Bradley G. Munkowitz known for his futuristic work on
Tron: Legacy, for this fresh new photograph hoping it to
express the company’s identity. Munkowitz assembled
a team at a photography studio in San Francisco to
shoot images showing the logo of the company created
by shining a projector through a pane of glass by a 50
MP camera. The crew used lasers, smoke, haze,
projectors, flares and a special camera mapping
technique. The amount of light was the main
component in the picture. He describes it as modern,
sleek and moody.
7. They were shooting which photograph ?

8. Who is this unusual co-developer?

Furfural
Cellulose and lignin, present in paper, degrade chemically over a
period of time. The chemical breakdown occurs due to the
presence of acids in the surroundings. This reaction is generally
known as acid hydrolysis. It produces a wide range of volatile
organic compounds some of which are identified as
Benzaldehyde, Toluene, Ethyl Benzene, Vanillin, 2-Ethylhexanol,
Furfural etc. Other aldehydes and alcohols are also produced in
the reaction and contribute slightly to the outcome pleasant to
many!
9. These degradation reactions are the reason behind
what?

The Pepper's ghost is an illusion technique, used in theatre, haunted
houses, dark rides, and magic tricks and is named after scientist John
Henry Pepper.
The basic trick involves two rooms one of which is hidden from the
audience. A plate of glass is placed somewhere in the main room at
an angle that reflects the view of the hidden room towards the
audience. Altering the intensities of light in the two rooms the
objects of the hidden room can be projected in the main room. It
creates the effect of things magically appearing in mid air.
In the modern modified version of this trick a patented foil,
completely invisible to the naked eye is rigged at 45° across the
stage and content is projected on it. By multiple reflections at
different screens the impression of a real 3D volumetric image is
created.
10. In which event this modified version of Pepper’s Ghost
was used that created a Guinness World Record for most
simultaneous shows of the Pepper's ghost illusion?

Explanation of Dispersion:
From experimental observations , Newton concluded that
white light consists of a mixture of seven different colours.
The refractive index of glass is different for different colours
, so that when white light falls on glass prism , each colour is
refracted(or bent ) at a different angle . The colours spread
out to form a spectrum . All colours are refracted towards
the base of the prism, the violet being deviated the most
and red, the least . The splitting up of white light into its
constituent colours is, called dispersion .Each colour has its
own characteristic wavelength .

Chris Stanley, a minerologist at London's Natural History Museum,
was puzzled when mining Group Rio Tinto brought him an unusual
specimen. Discovered in a mine near Jadar, Serbia, the mineral had
a known chemical formula—sodium lithium boron silicate
hydroxide. Using his own expertise and specialized resources,
Stanley was unable to identify the mineral. Finally, he did what the
rest of us would have done at the start—he searched for the
formula on the Internet. And got lots of hits. It turns out that this
mineral had already been described.
Dr. Stanley said that The formula is an exact match. The new
mineral does not contain fluorine (which it does in some description
of X) and is white rather than green but, in all other respects, the
chemistry matches that for X. However, that it fluoresces a pinkish-
orange under ultraviolet light.

think. Then about two nights later I had an interesting dream. My
father had died about two years before, and in that dream, he came to
me and said Paul, if you add a minute amount of rosin to the ink, that
will stop the oozing. I told the chemist about that, and the chemist
laughed! He said that won't work. He tried every type and quantity of
rosin. Three months later he came back to me and he said I was right!
He said he was trying to find a way to make rosin work, but then he
realized that I meant resin! He used two percent resin, and it worked
fine. Even with 140 pounds of air pressure behind it, it didn't leak. I
called NASA and told them we could do it, and we developed the
most valuable patent in all of the ____ industry.”

The ______________________ particle was an ultra-high-energy cosmic
ray/particle (most likely an iron nucleus) detected on the evening of 15
October 1991 over Dugway Proving ground , Utah , by the University of
Utah’s Fly’s Eye Cosmic ray Detector.
Its observation was a shock to astrophysicists (Hence the name) , who
estimated its energy to be approximately 3 Х 10^20 eV , about 20
million times more energetic than the highest energy measured in
radiation emitted by an extragalactic object.
Again the energy of this particle is some 40 million times that of the
highest energy protons that have been produced in any terrestrial
particle accelerator . ( bdw excluding the particle accelarator used in The

Again in some another Sankskrit works , X was called “the Man from

This is known as petrichor, an oily compound that exists in the
cracks and pores of dry rocks, which is spread when the rocks get
wet. The name petrichor comes from the Greek words “petro”
which is “rock” and “ichor” which is“blood (of gods)” or literally,
rock blood. When analyzing this compound, you would find that
petrichoris mostly palmitic acid, stearic acid, and oleic acid, and
comes from plants.
The real source of this is a compound called geosmin. Geosmin is
an alcohol with two rings, and is produced by a type of soil
bacteria called strepromyces and is a byproduct of the bacteria
living their normal bacteria life. This compound is responsible for
this, but it doesn’t need to be a major compound to do so; the
human nose is especially sensitive to geosmin, and it can be
detected at levels of 5 parts per trillion!
