12. Q3
"X" comes from a Greek word , a measure of length
equalling approximately 200 metres. The oldest
known X is the one in Olympia, in the western
Peloponnese, Greece, where the Olympic Games of
antiquity were held since 776 BC.
Initially 'the Games' consisted of a single event, a
sprint along the length of the X. Therefore the length
of Olympia's X became somewhat of a standard
measure of distance.
The current connotation of X is however, different.

X is a sport in which competitors race while holding a
weight. The objective is for the competitors to carry the
weight through a special obstacle track in the fastest time. The
sport was first introduced at Sonkajärvi, Finland.
Several types of carry may be practised: piggyback, fireman's
carry (over the shoulder), or Estonian-style (the weight hangs
upside-down gripping the runner's waist).
One of the official rules : " All participants must have fun"
Major X competitions are held in Sonkajärvi, Finland (where
the prize depends on the weight's value in beer);
Monona, Wisconsin; Minocqua, Wisconsin; and
Marquette, Michigan.

The sport was popular in ancient times in
India, China, Persia, and other Eastern countries and
was introduced into Greece in the time of Themistocles
(c. 524–460 BC). For a long time the Romans affected to
despise this "Greek diversion," but they ended up
adopting it so enthusiastically that the agricultural writer
Columella (1st century AD) complained that its devotees
often spent their whole patrimony in betting at the side
of the pit.
The 2011 Tamil film Aadukalam starring Dhanush
revolves around the practice of this sport in
Madurai, Tamil Nadu.
27. AUDIENCE
The exact origins of the use of a X to end races are lost in
history, although there are many theories. A possible though unlikely
theory is that horse races during the early days of the settlement of the
American Midwest were followed by large public meals and that to signal
that the meals were ready and racing should come to an end, a
__________ tablecloth was waved.
Another origin theory claim is that the X's earliest known use was for
19th century bicycle races in France. A more likely explanation is that a
high-contrast flag would be more conspicuous against the background of
a crowd, especially when early races were run on dirt tracks.
The earliest known photographic record of a X being used in a race was
from Long Island, New York in 1904 at the inaugural Vanderbilt Cup
race.

39. Q10
X is a variety of bowling popular in parts of
Europe, Australia and the United States. It is the
precursor of modern day versions like ten-pin
bowling and five-pin bowling. The objective of the
game is to use the ball to knock over the Xs, either
specific ones or all of them, depending upon the
variant of Xs. The game is traditionally played on a
lawn, but can also be played indoors in a bowling
alley. The word X, however, is more popular to us
in a cricketing context.

The traditional, and still most popular technique of X is to stick a
garden fork in the ground, and hit it with a stick. The consequent
vibrations bring targets to the surface where they are collected by an
assistant, known in competitive circles as a ghillie.
But the sport is rapidly evolving, with new methods emerging all the
time.
A notable use of cricket stumps,was made in X championships,
which they clobber with a bat.
Rod Trott, 68, from Cheshire was bent over a xylophone played with

The first recorded instance of the term “____" being used was to describe
E. King Gill and his actions in Dallas on 2 January 1922, at the Dixie
Classic, the forerunner of the Cotton Bowl Classic. Texas A&M played
defending national champion Centre College in the first post-season game
in the southwest. In this hard fought game, which produced national
publicity, an underdog Aggie team was slowly but surely defeating a team
which boasted three All-Americans. Unfortunately, the first half produced
so many injuries for A&M that Coach D. X. Bible feared he wouldn‟t have
enough men to finish the game, so, he called into the Aggie section of the
stands for E. King Gill, a reserve who had left football after the regular
season to play basketball. Gill, who was spotting players for reporters at the
time and was not in football uniform, willingly volunteered. When the game
ended with an A&M victory, 22–14, E. King Gill was the only man left
standing on the sidelines for the Aggies. Gill later said, "I wish I could say
that I went in and ran for the winning touchdown, but I did not. I simply
stood by in case my team needed me. "Although he did not actually play in
the game, his readiness to play was noted.
