X is a slogan is one of the most famous taglines in modern tourism marketing and one of the
most quoted, talked about, and recognized ad campaigns in any industry.
The slogan has not only been a spark that's helped drive millions of visitors to Y but it's also
inspired an Usher song and the trilogy of Hangover movies, has been quoted by Laura Bush,
has closed an Oscar ceremony, and has been banned from Super Bowl time slots.

"Bitcoin" is a digital currency that has taken the world of business and
economy by storm in the last few years. Given that, central banks and other
financial regulators have been taking a close look at various issues related to
this and other currencies, which is why India has yet to formally approve their
use in the Indian financial system.
This has also meant that India's first digital currency is also waiting for
approval. What is the name of this currency, which cleverly replaces 'bit' by a
guest Indians would like to invite home and not complain if they overstay?

Laxmicoin
It is the Indian counterpart of
Bitcoin.

X creates aspectrogram for each song in its database—a graph that plots three dimensions of
music: frequency vs. amplitude vs. time thus can identify pre-recorded music being broadcast
from any source seeking a match based on an acoustic fingerprint in a database of more than
11 million songs.
The algorithm then picks out just those points that represent the peaks of the graph—notes that
contain "higher energy content" than all the other notes around. It was founded in 1999 by
Barton and Inghelbrecht, who were students at University of California, Berkeley, and
Mukherjee, who worked at a London-based internet consulting firm called Viant.

What is the missing word in this extract from the Sherlock Holmes story "The Musgrave
Ritual":
"Yes, my boy, these were all done prematurely before my biographer had come to glorify me."
He (Sherlock) lifted bundle after bundle in a tender, caressing sort of way. "They are not all
successes, Watson," said he.
"But there are some pretty little problems among them. Here's the record of the Tarleton
murders, and the case of Vamberry, the wine merchant, and the adventure of the old Russian
woman, and the singular affair of the aluminium crutch, as well as a full account of Ricoletti of
the club-foot, and his _____ wife. And here--ah, now, this really is something a little
recherché”.

I talking about?
