death to the present day.
• In 1873, a young Vermont printer, Thomas James, published a version
which he claimed had been literally 'ghost-written' by him channelling

including Arthur Conan Doyle, a spiritualist himself, praising this
version, calling it similar in style to X's work; and for several decades
the James version of Y was common in America.

Baby: In Search of Purity on the phenomenon of German women
travelling to Indian villages by the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir to

services, she was gracious enough to bring gifts for his family and

expenses to pay,” he says. “I have nothing to lose. I want to keep
doing this. My children will come to visit me one day and take me to
Germany.”

pedestrians. The problem had become such a menace that the
hanger bases had reduced to 50% of their original size in just three

the steel hangers with fiberglass and covering it with images of Gods
and Goddess.
• What were the pedestrians doing?

18. • In 1977, the Morarji Desai government asked Coca-Cola to hand over
the controlling stake of its Indian operation to Indian investors as per
the provisions of the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act. This would

Cola formula with its Indian partners. Coca-Cola refused and was
asked by the government to cease its operations in India.
• Which indigenous soft drink was launched to fill the void left by Coca
Cola?

19. • Double Seven

20. • X and Y had just won custody of their daughter when she was kidnapped by
X’s first husband Tony Cox. They launched a worldwide manhunt they
announced during TV interviews with Mike Douglas and Dick Cavett. By
1980, Y realized that the publicity had only scared Tony into hiding. “We
chased him all over the world,” he told Playboy shortly before his murder.
“God knows where he went. So, if you’re reading this Tony, let’s grow up
about it. It’s gone. We don’t want to chase you anymore, because we’ve
done enough damage.”
• It turned out that the daughter and her dad had joined a cult—which they
later renounced—called the Walk. According to London’s Sunday Mirror, X
and her daughter reunited in 2000, after 29 years, when she phoned out of
the blue.

24. • According to the stories, British soldiers fighting in the Indies were
constantly dealing with malaria. The British at the time had X water
that contained a compound called quinine, which was extremely
effective at fighting malaria. The only problem was that X water
tasted pretty much as awful as anything can, so the British soldiers
mixed Y with it to make it palatable. After the war, many British men
ordered it upon returning home and a famous cocktail was born.
• Which drink?

29. • One of Russia’s strategies during World War II was the anti-tank dog.
Dogs were taught to carry explosives to tanks, armored vehicles and
other military targets. They were intensely trained by the Soviet army
during the 1930s and were used against the Germans during the early
‘40s. But they were a huge failure. Why?

30. • The tanks the dogs were trained to run under were Russian. So they
ended up running under the Russian tanks and blowing them up
instead.

33. • X was the son of Alcimus or Anchialus or Heracles and Asopis. In his old
age X was a friend of Odysseus who placed X and Odysseus' foster-
brother Eumaeus in charge of his son Telemachus, and of Odysseus' palace,
when Odysseus left for the Trojan War.
When Athena visited Telemachus she took the disguise of X to hide herself
from the suitors of Telemachus‘ mother Penelope. As X, the goddess
encouraged Telemachus to stand up against the suitors and go abroad to
find out what happened to his father.
• The first recorded modern usage of the term can be traced to a 1699 book
entitled Les Aventures de Télémaque, by the French writer François
Fénelon In the book the lead character is that of X. This book was very
popular during the 18th century and the modern application of the term
can be traced to this publication.

35. • Serving as a legionary in the Roman times was not an enviable job.
Soldiers had to hike for over 30 km a day and had to pay for their
food. To make things worse, more than one Roman emperor
introduced conscription. What did men usually do to avoid serving in
the army?

36. • Men cut off their thumbs. The thumb was very important for sword
fighting and hence men without thumbs were as good as useless.
Since a lot of men started doing this, recruiters began to kill anyone
with no thumbs.

37. • In 1872, a merchant ship called the Mary Celeste set sail from New York,
and four weeks later was found by sailors aboard another vessel to be
moving erratically in the Atlantic Ocean. Curious, those sailors boarded the
Mary Celeste, only to find nary a soul. The cargo was intact, as were
supplies of food and water. But there was no sign of the seven-man crew,
the captain, or his wife and daughter, who had gone along for the journey.
• Thus when it started happening in Britain, the phenomenon came to be
known there as Mary Celeste Syndrome. Till now no one knows why this is
happening though rapid urbanization and increase in use of cellphones has
been blamed. It has now been termed as Colony Collapse disorder and
shown in many popular references like Doctor WHO. Even Albert Einstein
was quoted saying that mankind would be destroyed if the phenomenon
continued to happen.

38. • Vanishing of bees

39. • X got so fed up with having to finish every gig with that song and being
asked about it in every interview that he now refers to it simply as that
“damn wedding song.” For decades, he refused a reunion, because he
didn’t want to sing Y ever again. In an even more extreme move, X once
pledged money to a radio station in Portland in order to get them to never
play Y again.
• This caused problems in the band, as the hate wasn’t universal. In fact,
guitarist Z absolutely loves it—especially the long, epic, improvised solos
he performs live. In fact, that was another reason why X hated the song. On
the rare occasions when the band would reunite, X agreed to perform Y
only if it wasn’t played as the finale and if Z showed some restraint during
the solo.

41. • After scoring 100 not out for Gloucestershire's Second XI in 1964, X had a
reasonably successful, though late-starting, first class playing career
for Gloucestershire, stretching from 1965 to 1979, and though he never
came close to international selection he was popular both with his team-
mates and the Gloucestershire supporters. One famous incident at the
Gloucestershire Cricket Club saw X hitting the ball so hard into the crowd
that it knocked out a spectator reading a newspaper. The spectator was
taken to hospital and recovered with only minor injuries.
• X was quite superstitious and would tie a matchstick to a finger on Friday
13th, so he would be touching wood to bring good luck all day. X was
awarded the MBE for services to cricket in 1987, and he became the
President of his home county club Devon in 2006.

43. • “My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being,
with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with
productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only
absolute.”
• It’s central tenets are that reality exists independently of
consciousness, that human beings have direct contact with reality
through sense perception, that one can attain objective knowledge
from perception through the process of concept formation and
inductive logic etc.
• Which philosophy and who developed it?

44. • Objectivism

47. • D was the youngest son of Sage Vishrava, who was the son ofSage

to Sahadeva and Yudhisthira. D-?
