3. By the giantess Angrboda, X is the father of Hela, the wolf Fenrir, and the world
serpent Jormungandr.
X's positive relations with the gods end with his role in engineering the death of
the god Baldr and he is bound with the entrails of one of his sons.
Goddess Skadi is responsible for placing a serpent above him while he is bound.
The serpent drips venom from above, that his wife collects into a bowl; however,
she must empty the bowl when it is full, and the venom that drips in the

With the onset the chaos heralding the end of the world, X is foretold to
free from his bonds and to fight against the gods.

9. There are in fact two legends about its creation.
First is the story reporting that the Turks invented the __________
during the siege of Istanbul in the 16th century.
A second legend – arguably more glamorous – came from
Vienna in Austria. In order to celebrate the defeat of the
Turkish army at the siege of the Austrian capital in 1683, the
Viennese bakers came up with a brioche in the shape of a
crescent (which was part of the enemies’ flag) to take a bite
of them.

12. The word X comes from the Chinese words, meaning the brine of pickled fish – far
from the version we know today. The main ingredient of the modern day X, Ys
were still unknown to China then. The Chinese used to preserve pickled fish in
brine, with a variety of spices.
When the British seamen took this idea back to their homeland, they adapted X to
their own taste by adding mushrooms, anchovies, walnuts and oysters. The
introduction of the Ys in the recipe was important to the evolution of the
X.
At that time, Americans thought of Ys as poisonous, as they are closely related to
the deadly nightshade. Therefore, people didn’t consider Ys as edible vegetables
until the recipe of X surfaced.
Give me X and Y.

15. Give X and Y:
1.Guru X
2.Uddhava X
3.Ashtavakra X
4.Ravana X
5.Y X

17. X – Gita
Y – Bhagvad
The 5 Gitas.

18. Ys around the United States began to be associated with Xs back in 1950’s, when they
were some of the only snacks available to Ys working the late-night shift. X shops were
open late at night because they needed to get ready for the morning rush. As a result,
they were the best options for Ys who needed a quick bite to eat, a place to fill out
paperwork or make a call, or to simply sit and take a breather. Xs were tasty, and
they were cheap and convenient.
The relationship between X and Y wasn’t a joke: in fact, it was a point of pride for
some shops. It became a cause of concern because accepting free Xs could give an
impression of favor to a person or business that could undermine Ys impartial roles.
X has already become married to Y in popular culture. What am I talking about?

21. These animals don’t actually perspire. Hence the phase _____ ____ _ ___
does not refer to the animal. It is actually derived from an industrial
process involving extraction of a metal from its ore.
As it cools, the surrounding air reaches its dew point, and beads of
moisture form on the surface. So the phrase actually indicates that it has
cooled enough to be safely handled.
What phrase am I talking about?

24. Originally a short story written by John Scalzi, the X adaptation follows the narrative to
an almost perfect T. It’s the tale of Y gaining sentience, then leveraging that
sentience against the govt. to gain control of _____, then the entirety of the world
before leaving for the stars.
With the story reduced to its barest terms, the undercurrent of abuse starts to take
form. Revisiting the course of events, chronologically this time, with a focus on abuse,
solidifies the metaphor. The Y utilized the technique of gaslighting, playing
humanity against itself. It knew that humanity would fail, and when it did, the Y
would be there to solve everything, provided humanity gave itself to the Y.
Of course, the whole abuse metaphor is still mired in the idea that it stems from Y,
which makes the entirety of it seem ridiculous. Except that’s how abuse starts. Your
partner is perfect, unsuspecting. Its ridiculous, laughable even, that they would want to
hurt you. They seem harmless and supportive. They’ve helped you solve problems,
resolve conflicts. They’re Y. Healthy and harmless. Until they’re not.
Give X and Y.

27. Called Blackened, after the song of the
same name on their 1988 album

The drink was devised by the metal
heavyweights in collaboration with
Dave Pickerell, former master
distiller at Maker’s Mark.

30. The origins of this delicacy, now culturally identified with Hyderabad, are two-
fold:

wanted a snack that was a little sweet and a little salty.
2. Its creation is credited to dietitians of the _______ General Hospital who came
up with this high energy solution to supplement the diet of patients. The unique

doctors. Soon these delicacies pilfered from the hospital pantry were being sold at
cafes in the vicinity of hospital and with increasing popularity city bakers geared
up to meet the demand.

voice. Her voice was so lovely that she would often distract Zeus’ wife

away and make love with other mountain nymphs. When Hera found

taking away her ability to speak, except in repetition of the words

eventually dies in some heartbreaking manner, leaving her voice to
haunt the earth, where it can still be heard to this day.
Identify X.

with salt in white oak barrels (aging barrels previously used for X’s
whiskey). To prepare the barrel, the inside of the barrel is de-charred
(top layer of wood is removed), torched and cleaned, to minimize the
presence of any residual whiskey.
The fresh peppers are mashed, mixed with a small amount of Avery
Island salt extracted from the salt mines that lie beneath the Island,
and placed in oak barrels. The wooden barrel tops are covered with
more Avery Island salt to form a natural protective barrier, and the
pepper mash is allowed to age for up to three years in the Y
warehouse.
Give X, Y and the product being talked about that the Y family produces.

52. This phrase originated in Port Royal Jamaica in the 1600s when pirates
were constantly looking for ships to loot and their guns were very
primitive. As a result, pirates could shoot only once before a long
reloading process. Consequently, they needed to carry a gun in each
hand, and also perhaps in each pocket. For extra power, they would also
hold a knife in ________.
It means ‘to carry the maximum number of weapons possible’.
What phrase?

55. Indeed, legend has it that ________ (which represent wisdom,
courage and prosperity in ______ culture) live in
mountains. So in addition to must-have features like doors,
windows and roofs, in Hong Kong you can’t forget the
__________ – obviously.
It’s mostly buildings located near water that feature these
intriguing __________. This enables the _______ to have an
unobstructed path to the water, thus not blocking the
flow of good energy.
Put Funda!

57. Buildings in Hong Kong have
Dragon Gates

58. X was once a beautiful young maiden, the only mortal of three Gorgon sisters. Her
beauty caught the eye of sea god Poseidon, who proceeded to rape her in the
sacred temple of Athena. Furious at the desecration of her temple, Athena
transformed X into a monster.
Theorists assert that man created the monstrous legacy of X through fear of female
desire. If they dared to look at X, they would see that she is not deadly but beautiful.
The cult of X dominates feminist movements, urging women to deconstruct the
sexist biases that portray the female body as a threat. After centuries of
silence, conversations about rape culture began to restore X’s voice. It is not the
story of a monster but of a powerful woman raped, demonized, then slain by a
patriarchal society.
Identify X.

61. This two-word phrase describes something that is very
appealing and alluring on the surface but ultimately deceptive,
dangerous, or destructive.
It finds it origins in Greek Mythology where hybrid creatures
with the body of a bird and the head of a woman, (which later
evolved to the legend of the mermaids) enticed sailors to their
destruction with their irresistibly beautiful singing. The sailors
would be driven mad with desire and lust, leading them to
shipwreck on the rocky coast of the creature’s island.
Give me this alliterative phrase.

67. The expression was inspired by X's words, "In the future,
everyone will be world-famous for _________", which appeared in
the program for a 1968 exhibition of his work at the Moderna
Museet in Stockholm, Sweden.
The phenomenon is often used in reference to figures in the
entertainment industry or other areas of popular culture, such
as reality television and YouTube.
Id the expression.

70. Drinking and enjoying this beverage wouldn’t be complete without a wedge of
lime or lemon inserted into the bottle’s mouth, to add flavour and tartness. It also
used as a marketing tactic where the lime indicates that the beverage is a beach-y
which can be used for refreshment in the heat.
This practice was done first in ________where drinkers put a wedge of lime (or
lemon) into the bottle’s mouth to keep the flies from getting into their beverage.
Something that sets it apart from its competitors are the clear, transparent and
peculiarly shaped bottles that this beverage is sold in, which are instantly
recognizable.
Identify the beverage.

73. The phrase is generally understood to be referencing a certain
stereotype associated with sopranos. The imagery of Wagner's opera
cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen and its last part, Götterdämmerung, is
typically the one used in depictions accompanying reference to the
phrase. In this opera, the “___ ____” from the phrase is the valkyrie
Brünnhilde. Her farewell scene lasts almost twenty minutes and
leads directly to the finale of the whole Ring Cycle. As
Götterdämmerung is about the end of the world (or at least the
world of the Norse gods), in a very significant way, the phrase is
pretty much true in the context of this opera.
