6. The title of this 20th century novel is a reference to lyrics from "The Battle Hymn
of the Republic", by Julia Ward Howe:
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord:
He is trampling out the vintage where the _____ __ ____ are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.
These lyrics refer, in turn, to the biblical passage Revelation 14:19–20, an
apocalyptic appeal to divine justice and deliverance from oppression in the final
judgment.
The phrase also appears at the end of chapter 25 in the book, which describes the
purposeful destruction of food to keep the price high:
...and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing _____. In the souls of the
people the _____ __ _____ are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for
the vintage.
Blanked out words are identically the title. Quite simply, fill them in.

8. The New York Times dubbed 2012 'The Year of the X,' and it has
since become one of the hottest topics in its field. Time magazine
said that free Xs open the door to the pinnacle in the field to the
masses. This has been primarily due to the emergence of several
well-financed providers.
Since you are where you are, you’ve probably heard of these. Who
knows, you might even be part of X. Go on, what is it?

10. The artist X produced several triptychs. Among his most famous is The Garden of
Earthly Delights. This painting, for which the original title has not survived,
depicts paradise with Adam and Eve and many wondrous animals on the left
panel, the earthly delights with numerous nude figures and tremendous fruit and
birds on the middle panel, and hell with depictions of fantastic punishments of
the various types of sinners on the right panel.
Name the artist, please, whose work is known for its use of fantastic imagery to
illustrate moral and religious concepts and narratives.

12. In a review of this film, Mihir Fadnavis, film critic for MidDay wrote:
"The disappointment is hard to mask, and unless the next two films offer
something drastically different, I would be forced to believe what I feared: that X
is now Y, Z's ________ is ________, and over the years it has consumed him
and turned him into a disillusioned and slightly evil creature that feasts by
stealing from your pockets.“
X, Y, and Z, please (but mostly, X).

16. We’re interested in the name of this city,
photographs of which you see on your left.
The 2010 G-20 summit and the 2012 Nuclear
Security Summit were held here.
If someone is believed, the city is home to
perhaps warm, humanly girls, some of whom
know how to enjoy a cup of coffee or two.
Boys, too, in fact (yes, no perversion implied), but
those probably just drink their coffee too quickly.
Wait, what? Anyway, name of the city, please.

18. Red is a chaser, alternately called Macky, Shadow or Blinky.
Pink is an ambusher, also known as Micky,Speedy or Pinky.
Cyan is fickle, nicknamed Mucky, Bashful or Inky.
Orange is stupid, a trait noticable by his slow movement, and is affectionately
referred to as Mocky, Pokey or Clyde.
They aren't really very helpful when you meet them, nor are they useful in any
way, except four times for about 10 seconds.
Collectively they are also called "ghosts","goblins or "octopi". Man, you’ve
probably packed in at least a few hours with these guys. Where?

20. Maintaining rapid as well as environmentally
sustainable growth remains an important and
achievable goal for India.
In "An Uncertain Glory," Dreze and
________ argue that the country's main
problems lie in the lack of attention paid to
the essential needs of the people, especially of
the poor, and often of women. There have
been major failures both to foster
participatory growth and to make good use of
the public resources generated by economic
growth to enhance people's living conditions.
There is also a continued inadequacy of social
services such as schooling and medical care as
well as of physical services such as safe water,
electricity, drainage, transportation, and
sanitation.
Published in 2013, fill in the blank with the
name of the second author of An Uncertain
Glory.

26. X was a German philosopher (August 27, 1770 – November 14, 1831),
and is considered one of the major figures in the Idealist school of
thought. X attracted severe criticism despite the well-acknowledged
philosophical importance of his work.
Some criticisms are:
Schopenhauer - “pseudo-philosophy paralyzing all mental powers”
Boltzmann - “unclear thoughtless flow of words”
Russell - “the hardest to understand of all the great philosophers”
Popper - “meaningless verbiage”
Before dying, X supposedly told his favourite student, “Only you have
ever understood me ... and you got it wrong.”
Who is X?

and windsurfing.

32. “The first step I have taken toward the ultimate goal of emancipation
from the chains that bind me to Warner Bros. was to change my
name from X to the Love Symbol. X is the name that my mother
gave me at birth. Warner Bros. took the name, trademarked it, and
used it as the main marketing tool to promote all of the music that I
wrote. The company owns the name X and all related music
marketed under X. I became merely a pawn used to produce more
money for Warner Bros... I was born X and did not want to adopt
another conventional name. The only acceptable replacement for my
name, and my identity, was the Love Symbol, a symbol with no
pronunciation… that is a representation of me and what my music is
about. This symbol is present in my work over the years; it is a
concept that has evolved from my frustration; it is who I am. It is my
name.”
Give X.

34. X was first recorded by Solomon Linda and the Evening Birds in
South Africa in 1939. Linda, a singer of Zulu origin, wrote the
song, originally titled "Mbube" (Zulu: lion), while working for the
Gallo Record Company as a cleaner and record packer.
According to South African journalist Rian Malan: "Mbube" wasn't
the most remarkable tune, but there was something terribly
compelling about the underlying chant, a dense meshing of low
male voices above which Solomon yodelled and howled for two
exhilarating minutes, occasionally making it up as he went along.
The third take was the great one, but it achieved immortality only
in its dying seconds, when Solly took a deep breath, opened his
mouth and improvised the melody that the world now associates
with these words: “________”
Give X or ______.

36. X is mentioned in the Bible as a beast of great strength, “the
Re’em” or “the Tahash” and in ancient Oriental texts as “Qilin”
or “Kirin”. They became well known in the Middle Ages.
Marco Polo has described them as "scarcely smaller than
elephants. They have the hair of a buffalo and feet like an
elephant's. They have a single large black horn in the middle
of the forehead... They have a head like a wild boar's… They
spend their time by preference wallowing in mud and slime.
They are very ugly brutes to look at. They are not at all such as
we describe them when we relate that they let themselves be
captured by virgins, but clean contrary to our notions.”
X is also the national animal of Scotland.
Give X.

oppressed by his overprotective mother, and tormented at school by tyrannical,
abusive teachers. Each of these traumas become ___________.
The protagonist eventually becomes a rock star, his relationships marred by
infidelity, drug use, and outbursts of violence. As his marriage crumbles, he
finishes ___________, completing his isolation from human contact. Z’s crisis
escalates, culminating in a hallucinatory on-stage performance where he believes
that he is a fascist dictator performing at concerts similar to Neo-Nazi rallies, at
which he sets men on fans he considers unworthy. Tormented with guilt, he
places himself on trial, his inner judge ordering him to ____________,
opening Z to the outside world.
Album name only, please. Come on, come out of your enclosed gardens and
answer this one.

44. The Youtube video for the song X has been called the hottest viral
video of summer 2007 by CTV and the second-greatest viral video in
the world by utalkmarketing.com.
The video features the bespectacled singer singing into a condenser
microphone, and moving away from the microphone to breathe.
The singer has said that the song’s lyrics are a reference to modern
racism in the USA, and he later went on to describe the song as
“cheesy”.
The melody and the drum track of the song have also been criticised
extensively by the gaming community for being overly derivative of
one of the music tracks from the arcade game UN Squadron.
Give X.
