logo was also used for a while before the club
decided to revert to their old logo with the deer,
which stands to this day.

Q5

faces. While there are existing metrics such as the Bechdel test,
riders are a much more concrete attempt at enforcing a solution.

match ritual in every match that Johnny Kerr was
commentating in. Before the start, Jordan would take X in his
hand, go and stand right in front of Kerr’s table, and do a Y.

up a nice suit he had put on. Kerr did try to retaliate a few

Australia at Manchester. A long-time cricket fan and
close friend of Brian Lara, X made regular

X was laid by its debutante director Y while he was working as

Internet extensively for photographs of wedding processions
along the streets for a clear picture of how the roads looked
and the kind of vehicles in use.

depiction of Madurai from the 1980s and launched Y's career
in Kollywood. Give me X and Y.

into flame and forges a weapon fit for its work. And it
is I who have created the destroyer to wreak havoc

• In the first match of the Australia-South Africa Test series
currently underway, various Australian cricketers were heard
via the stump mikes to be loudly talking up the virtues of their
sponsors Qantas and XXXX, which are direct competitors of

• A similar tactic was used by Adam Gilchrist a decade back in a
Test match against Bangladesh, again as a ploy to try and
mask a much-criticized aspect of the Australians' game.
• Why did the Australian cricketers indulge in this ambush
marketing?

A6
To get the stump mikes muted by the
broadcaster, so that their sledges wouldn’t be
heard on air

Q10
• The X effect is a pop culture trope where the second
movie in any franchise is compared to X, an iconic
1980 movie.
• This effect is typically observed in trilogies, where
directors make the plot of the second instalment
darker and slower than the first movie, in an attempt
to set up the third movie.

upcoming Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom as the X of
the series.

ID X
● The original model for the X was changed at the last minute at ______
_____’s request because he thought it too closely resembled the ships
in British science-fiction television programme . With no time to go, they
took influence from one of the strangest of places: one of his next
meals. The idea came about when _____ took a bite out of a burger and
placed it down next to an olive on a toothpick. Hence, ILM referred to X
as “the Pork Burger”.
● Hence, if she doesn’t look like a fast ship, that’s by design. X is actually a
YT-1300 cargo vessel, a Corellian Engineering Corporation freighter that
was designed to lug around cargo. It was one of the most popular space
vessels ever produced and smugglers liked it because it was durable and
completely customizable.
● Of all the hundreds of LEGO sets available on Amazon, X is #1 (most
popular).

1976 British Leyland , without sitting in it and made his way to a
mountain of colourful presents that were waiting for him and
posed with a huge cake in the shape of the number '25' outside
the Buckingham Palace.
X said: "Well it's fantastic. I mean I'm known in Brighton and
Birmingham, literally all over the world I'm known which is
fantastic.It's sweet, it's flattering, but it hasn't gone to my head."
Asked how else he'll be celebrating the milestone, he added:
"Well I'm just going to have a small birthday party. It's just me
and my friend __."

ID X
In 1966 Barris was requested to design X. With the short
notice, Barris thought the Lincoln Futura might work well, and
decided that its unusual winged shape would be an ideal
starting point for X. Barris hired Bill Cushenberry to do the
metal modifications to the car. Barris went on to build three
fiberglass replicas using the frames and running gear from
1966 Ford Galaxie cars for the show circuit, three of which
were covered with a felt-like flocking finish in the 1970s. Barris
later acquired a fourth replica, a metal car built on a 1958
Thunderbird. Barris sold X to Rick Champagne at the Barrett-
Jackson collector car auction on Saturday, January 19, 2013 in
Scottsdale, Arizona for US4.62 million dollars.

ID X
The Black Pearl was originally named X, (which is also the name of the ship
from the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction at Disneyland Park), the
merchant ship fell to piracy and was captained by an unnamed pirate killed in
a battle with Spanish Royal Navy Captain Armando Salazar. The helmsman,
Jack Sparrow was granted captain of the X after out-maneuvering Salazar and
saving the crew during battle. Years later the X became registered to the East
India Trading Co. and owned by Cutler Beckett, the EITC Director for West
Africa. At the time, Jack Sparrow was in the employ of the East India Trading
Co. and regained captaincy of the X (this fits in with reality as history notes
that pirates did not build ships specifically to commit piracy. Instead, they
either bought or stole small, fast vessels, then retrofitted them with heavy
armaments).
