In the 1980s, Hiroshi Ueda, an engineer at Minolta was holidaying in Paris.
He asked someone to take a photo of him with his wife, at the Louvre
Museum in Paris. The person ran away with his camera.
What did he create after coming back?
Clue: A device which has been likened to the X appears in the 1969
Czechoslovak sci-fi film I Killed Einstein, Gentlemen.
It started off with an unlikely reference: the opening lines of the show that
ended its run earlier this year with a story line in which two main
characters— X and Y— actually did that.
"The whole universe was in the hot, dense state, then nearly 14 billion years
ago expansion started." - Ulf Danielsson said at the start of the presentation,

World's tallest statue with a height of 182 metres.
Who made the design and why 182 meters ??
Ram V. Sutar. The height of 182 was specifically chosen to match the

of this number was proven by Leonhard Euler.
Connect this number to “Gangnam Style” and the “Year 2038 problem/Unix
Millennium Bug”.
It’s the highest value possible in 32-bit systems .
When Gangnam Style reached this many views, YouTube had to upgrade
their technology – The furthest time that a signed 32-bit integer can represent
