23. 8 No “HINTS” for this 1
After the birth of the Minotaur,
Daedalus was called upon to imprison
the Minotaur. Daedalus built the
Labyrinth, a maze-like building of
winding corridors and complicated
twists and turns, which confused
anyone who entered it so much that he
could not find the way out.
Theseus volunteered to slay the
monster. The only way to find one‟s
way out of the labyrinth was by using a
ball of thread, which allowed him to
retrace his path. Theseus killed the
Minotaur . The name for this ball of
thread is now a commonly used word
in the English language

chahiye”.
33. *13 Mythology Level: TD
As Mythology goes, an apsara named Madhura arrives
at Mount Kailash, the abode of Shiva, to pay her respects.
In absence of his wife Parvati, Madhura has clandestine
coitus with Shiva . When Parvati returns,she curses
Madhura and sends her to live in a well as a frog for
twelve years. Shiva consoles Madhura and says she will
become a beautiful woman . After twelve years, Madhura
becomes a beautiful maiden again and cries out loudly
from the well. Mayasura and Hema, who are performing
penance nearby, answer her call and adopt her as their
daughter. They bring her up as X
She is extolled as one of the panchakanyas("five virgins"),
the recital of whose names is believed to dispel sin.
According to some Ramayana adaptations, X is also the
mother of Rama's wife Sita, and according to some she is
the half mother of Angad.
42. 17 Who ?? Think Sports
He was named after the American
inventor Thomas Edison, however his
parents decided to remove the 'i' and
call him 'Edson„.
He was originally nicknamed Dico by his
family.
He got his name X because of his
favorite player, local Vasco da Gama
goalkeeper Bilé.
X had no idea what the name means.
46. *19 Records! Are you
Kidding?
X is set circa 2013 in Los Santos and the
surrounding areas and tells the stories of three
protagonists: Michael, Franklin and Trevor. It takes
place about five years after the events of its
predecessor .
Michael is a retired professional bank robber, who after making a
sweetheart deal with FIB, returned to the life of crime.
Trevor is the loose cannon in this story, who is also a long time
best friend of Michael's and a hothead psychopath as well.
Last but certainly not least, we have Franklin, a young and grim
repossession agent who has a large amount of experience behind
the wheel, but no real experience to crime until he meets Michael
while he was trying to hustle.
Other main characters include Amanda De Santa, Michael's
wife; Jimmy De Santa and Tracey De Santa, Michael's
children; Lamar, Franklin's friend; Ron, Trevor's paranoid
friend; and Lester, an associate of the protagonists.

50. *21 This one is for the Girls
IT originated in South
Africa as Oil of ****.
Graham Wulff (1916-
2008), an ex-
Unilever chemist
from Durban, started it
in 1949. The name "Oil
of ****" was chosen by
Wulff as a spin on the
word "lanolin", a key
ingredient.

Haluwa
X word gets its name
from these seeds Y.

58. 25 Think Business
Mark Waugh when on a tour to the
Subcontinent was highly
unsuccessful in scoring runs and
ended up with four consecutive
ducks . What nickname, did he
earn due to this incident?
59.
60. *26 Give me X ??
The X, is
a paradox that raises
the question of
whether an object
which has had all its
components replaced
remains
fundamentally the
same object. The
paradox is most
notably recorded
by Plutarch. The title
of an Indian drama
film
, written and directed
by Anand Gandhi, and
produced by actor
Sohum Shah released
in the mid of 2013,
also alludes to the
same.
