opportunity to put a new lineup together, and in early September Y's

QUESTION 1
The English team toured India in 1980 to play the solo Golden Jubilee
Test – to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Board of Control for
Cricket in India (BCCI). This match is known for two particular
reasons, one being an exceptional feat(X) that was achieved by Sir Ian
Botham, which has been replicated only twice in international test
cricket to date. Additionally an unusual rest day was observed on the
second day of the test, as BCCI was concerned about the safety of
50,000 spectators due to an event Y. This event, which hadn't taken
place in India for over a century, marks perhaps the only time an
international match has been postponed due to it.
ID X AND Y.

ANSWER
Ian Botham - century and 10 wicket haul.

QUESTION 2
The origins of this dish can be traced back to casseroles of 14th
century Italy and medieval England. US President Jefferson was
instrumental in bringing this to the US after he encountered it in
Paris. In 1793, he commissioned the US Ambassador to France to import
the machine needed for the dish. However the machine wasn't sufficient
and Jefferson had to resort to importing the two ingredients required
for making the dish, in 1802 Jefferson served the dish at the state
dinner.
What dish am I talking about?

QUESTION 3
December 2021, a German chemical and agricultural company introduced a
product in the Italian market.
It was the result of three decades, more than 30 years of work and it
was called a game changer and a breakthrough innovation.
The main USP of this particular product is that it did not have or it
prevented a particular thing that was a nightmare for a lot of people.
And people used to go to great lengths to not have that particular
nightmare experience, which included soaking in water, freezing,
chewing gum and many other shortcuts and remedies and tips that they
used to do.
ID the product.

QUESTION 4
X is one of the only non-superpowered comic characters to have
"defeated" the Sentry, arguably the most powerful character in the
Marvel Universe. After the 2021 Capitol riots, X's logo was changed to
that of the Japanese mythological demon Oni to distance itself from
rioters seen sporting the logo. ID X

QUESTION 5
X is a term used in fiction, engineering, and common situations for a
material ideal for a particular application but impractically
difficult to obtain. X originally referred to materials that do not
exist at all, but can also be used to describe real materials that are
unavailable due to extreme rarity or cost. X is also the name of the
major plot device of a blockbuster sci-fi flick.

QUESTION 6
X is a popular phrase in a particular context, and is of unknown
origin. However, several folk etymologies are associated with the
word, from phrases in Hebrew that mean "I will create as I speak", to
an Aramaic interpretation that gives the meaning "I create like the
word".
Y is another popular phrase in its own right, and was conceived by the
hugely popular author Z for their books. During an audience interview
at the Edinburgh book festival on 15 April, 2004, the author reveals
that Y was loosely inspired from X. This is weird, because while X and
Y sound similar, the supposed meaning of X as described above is
exactly opposite to the contexts in which the author uses Y.
ID X and Y.

ANSWER
Abra cadabra and Avada Kedavra

QUESTION 7
A major computer manufacturer discovered that playing the music video
for Janet Jackson’s “Rhythm Nation” would crash certain models of

And then they discovered something extremely weird: Playing the music
video on one laptop caused a laptop sitting nearby to crash, even
though that other laptop wasn’t playing the video!
What was the reason?

ANSWER
Song contained one of the natural resonant frequencies for the
model of 5400 rpm laptop hard drives that they and other
manufacturers used.
