During the Cold War, US sent many spies to
Russia. Some of them were obviously through
the diplomatic channel, who were working on
day jobs in the US embassy. But there were
other agents whom US air-dropped into Russian
territory. The spies used to speak perfect
Russian, just like the natives. They had all
Russian clothes and equipments. They also had
the latest US spy gadgets. However, time after
time, they were unmasked by the government.

30. Sometimes if things are too perfect,
the outcome can be bad!
The secret lied in their passports. Though
the Americans made perfectly good Soviet
passports, the staples they used were
good quality American staples, that didn't
rust. Genuine Russian passports had
staples made of metal that began to rust
as soon as the passports were issued

X is a device used in filmmaking and video
production to assist in the synchronizing of
picture and sound, and to designate and mark
particular scenes and takes recorded during a
production. The sharp noise that the device
makes can be identified easily on the audio
track, and the shutting of the X can be identified
easily on the separate visual track. The two
tracks can then be precisely synchronized by
matching the sound and movement.

74. Q 29.
• In Japanese culture it is widely believed that X brings good luck to
thousands of high school students who sit for their entrance
examinations to gain an admission into Japan's top universities
because co-incidentally X in Japanese translates to "You shall
surely win" or "Be Victorious".
• Y (manufacturers of X) responded to this fortuitous linguistic
association by producing for the Japanese market special types of X
that carry additional exam-related symbols on their packaging.
• Also when the Japan Postal service was being privatized, Y seized
an opportunity and created a business model that didn't exist before.
Y partnered with the newly privatized post office and created a new
package of X that could be posted, called X Mail. People could write
their message on the packaging, put a stamp on it and put it in the
mail. Many post office branches during exams decorate their stores
with X branding which has now become a part of their culture.
• What are X and Y?
