symbol S). He was also the founder of the electrical and
telecommunications company X.
11. Question 5
Alfred Mosher Butts, an architect from
Poughkeepsie, New York, decided to invent
a board game. He attempted to create a game that would use both
chance and skill. To decide on letter distribution, he studied the front
page of The New York Times and did painstaking calculations on
letter frequency. His basic cryptographic analysis of our language
and his original tile distribution have remained valid for almost three
generations. What game am I talking about?

effect.
Second Picture: Edmond Becquerel discovered
the Photovoltaic effect
15. Question 7
X was an administrator of the Ferme Générale and a powerful member
of a number of other aristocratic councils. All of these political and
economic activities enabled him to fund his scientific research. At the
height of the French Revolution, he was accused by Jean-Paul Marat of
selling adulterated tobacco and of other crimes, and was eventually
guillotined a year after Marat's death. Benjamin Franklin was familiar
with X, as they were both members of the "Benjamin Franklin inquiries"
into Mesmer and animal magnetism. Who is X?
17. Question 8
A state funeral for this great lady, who died of cancer, took place at a
Kenyan national park she fought to save. She was cremated in a

would be cut down. Identify her.
19. Question 9
The Munich physics professor Philipp von Jolly advised X against
going into physics, saying, “in this field, almost everything is already
discovered, and all that remains is to fill a few holes.”
His lesser known but equally important work can be traced with the
greats of Rayleigh, Jean , Wien and relying heavily on Boltzmann.
ID X.
21. Question 10
Knot theory is a branch of topology dealing with the study of
mathematical knots. The visual on the following slide shows an
example of a mathematical knot called trefoil knot. It finds
applications in a variety of areas. It is required to explain sun's
corona structure mathematically. Interestingly it also explains the
reason behind an everyday nuisance. Which nuisance we are talking
about?

April Fool’s Day prank and transformed his zero-emissions car into a flashy
Batmobile. Identify X.
Question 11
26. Question 12
The Five Fists of Science is a graphic novel showing X, his (real-life)
friend Mark Twain and Bertha von Suttner combine forces to try to
bring about world peace through superior firepower. They are soon
confronted by dark forces led by the dastardly Y (X?s real-life
archrival), John Pierpont Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, and Guglielmo
Marconi. The protagonists are shown in the cover of the book.
Identify X and Y. Pic in the next slide.
34. Answer 15
Alfred Nobel:
A French obituary stated "Le
marchand de la mort est mort"
("The merchant of death is dead") referring to
Alfred Nobel as they thought that he was dead
when it was his brother who had actually died.
The element was Nobelium.
35. Question 16
Jack Cover, a NASA researcher, began developing X in 1969. By
1974, Cover had completed the device, which he named after his
childhood hero Thomas A. Swift (A fictional character). He named X
after Tom Swift because this fictional character had an electric rifle
which is a good way to describe X. X is a commonly used weapon for
self-defense.
Identify X.
37. Question 17
This first appeared in 1946, at the University of California. At the
time, it was rendered as magenta, and was set on a blue background.

internal radius of 1.5R and an external radius of 5R for the blades,
which are separated from each other by 60°. What is being referred
here?
39. Question 18
The prizes are presented by genuine Nobel laureates, originally at a
ceremony in a lecture hall at MIT but now in Sanders Theater at
Harvard University. It contains a number of running jokes, like a little
girl who repeatedly cries out, "Please stop: I'm bored," in a high-
pitched voice if speakers go on too long. The awards ceremony is
traditionally closed with the words: "If you didn't win a prize — and
especially if you did — better luck next year!".
The Logo ->
What am I talking about?
41. Question 19
