the name of the critically acclaimed 2004 movie
which is blanked out in the stanza. The Wikipedia

8. “Biophysicist and Security Operations Center expert
Dr. Henry 'Hank’ Pym decided to become a
superhero after discovering a chemical substance
that would allow the user to alter his size. Armed
with a helmet that could control ants, Pym would
shrink down to the size of an insect to become the
mystery-solving Ant-Man. He soon shared his
discovery with his girlfriend, Janet Van Dyne, who
became his crime-fighting partner as the Wasp. The
duo would become founding members of

such as the mad scientist Egghead, the mutant
Whirlwind, and Pym's own robotic creation Ultron.”

10. While attending the Universal and Colonial
Exposition in Lyon in 1894, Edouard and André Y
noticed a stack of _______ that suggested to
Edouard the figure of a man without arms. Four
years later, André met French cartoonist Marius
Rossillon, popularly known as O'Galop, who showed
him a rejected image he had created for a Munich
brewery—a large, regal figure holding a huge glass
of beer and quoting the phrase "Nunc est X”
meaning “Now is the time to drink” from Horace’s
Odes. André immediately suggested replacing the
man with a figure made from _______. In
Spanish, Y has acquired the meaning of folds of
fatty skin around the waist. Identify X and Y.
12. It is a common mistake to interpret X to be a
blue sapphire. Evidence shows it was a ruby.
There has also been speculation that the
Kohinoor diamond is indeed X as there has been
nothing said about it since Krishna’s time. It was
gifted by the Sun God to Satrajit, brother of
Satyabhama. Krishna and Y had a fight for 28
days over this and Y gradually grew tired. As he
was the strongest living entity at that time, he
wondered who could be weakening him. It was
then that Y realized that he had been sparring
with none other than Sri Krishna himself.
Identify X and Y.

tropical forests of Central and South America. X
cacao, the most well known species of the genus, is
used for making chocolate. X, the genus name, is
from the Greek and translates to “food of the gods,”
a designation that chocolate-lovers would agree is

Street Journal to retrace the steps of "shoe
bomber" Richard Reid trying to set up a meeting
with Sheik Gilani, a spiritual leader. What resulted?

in the world more valuable to the winners than
X. The winners end up approximately

convention, the two finalists agree that the loser
take all the gate revenue from the game.

States, _________ learned karate originally from
his father, who had been a fisherman.

challenged _________ to a fight to the death. To
avoid the fight, _________ left Okinawa and

36. In Jewish folklore, an X is an animated
anthropomorphic being, created entirely from
inanimate matter. The word was used to mean an
amorphous, unformed material in Psalms and
medieval writing. The most famous X narrative
involves Judah Loew ben Bezalel, the late-16th-
century rabbi of Prague. There are many tales
differing on how the X was brought to life and

allusion to X from Jewish folklore.
Identify ‘X’.

hurry in a cheap coffin. Almost two years after the
burial, on 25 February 1978, her remains were
replaced in a new oak coffin lined with tin. The
official reports (to date undisputed by any
authorities) state that the body bore the signs of
consistent deterioration. Ernst Alt and Arnold Renz
were disallowed from entering the mortuary. What
was inspired from X?
