1. 1. Released as a single in August 1973, X went straight to
the top of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and reached number
five on the UK singles chart. The song was also a #1 hit in
both Canada and Australia for five weeks each and
topped the charts in many countries throughout Europe
and the rest of the world. The principal songwriter wrote
in his biography that X is basically heroin and his attempt
while detoxing in Switzerland to once and for all "say
goodbye". Two music videos were shot to promote the
song. The song garnered controversy when, in 2005, the
German party CDU used the song for its election
campaign for Angela Merkel, though the band who had
performed the song hadn’t given them permission to do
so. Identify X.
3. 2. Xs are blue and diamond-shaped with the word
"Pfizer" engraved on one side, and "VGR xx"
(where xx stands for "25", "50" or "100", the dose
of X in milligrams) engraved on the other. The
2007 Ig Nobel Prize in Aviation went to Patricia V.
Agostino, Santiago A. Plano, and Diego A.
Golombek of Universidad Nacional de Quilmes,
Argentina for their discovery that X aids jet
lag recovery in hamsters. Professional athletes
have been documented using X, believing the
opening of their blood vessels will enrich their
muscles. In clinical trials, the most
common adverse effects of X use
included headache, flushing, dyspepsia, nasal
congestion and impaired vision,
including photophobia and blurred vision.
Identify X.
5. 3. 1993 saw X win the only doubles title of his career, at

injuries. Although he made the quarterfinals in his
Wimbledon title defense, he lost to eventual champion
in five sets. In 2005, X left Nike after 17 years and
signed an endorsement deal with Adidas. A major
reason for X leaving Nike was because Nike refused to
donate to X's charities and Adidas was more than
happy to do so. In 2005 Tennis magazine named X the
7th greatest male player—and 12th greatest player
overall—for the period 1965 through 2005. On July 9,
2011, X was inducted into the International Tennis Hall

sets played in the Open Era. Identify X.
7. 4. In medieval England there were nomadic
mercenaries who wandered the country side and
would sell their services to the highest bidder.
These were hardened fighters who lived solitary
lives in the wilderness. They did not have the
luxury of servants to polish their armor and it
would oxidize to a blackish hue, and they came to
be known as black knights. At local town festivals
they would have exhibition jousting matches in
which the winner of the fight would win the
loser's weapons and armor. The local gentry,
softened by the good life, would lose to these
black knights. The nomadic knights didn't have
much use for an extra set of armor and would sell
it back to them immediately after the fight. The
losing nobility would be forced to buy back their
armor. Which oft used term did this give rise to?
11. 6. A X is approximately 1.9 cm in diameter and

increased collateral obligations consequent to the
credit rating downgrade, in exchange for the
issuance of a stock warrant to the Federal
Reserve Bank for 79.9% of the equity of X. Their
deal with Y was announced on April 6, 2006, by

to Silicon Valley and gave a demonstration of the
program to engineers at Apple and Russell Brown, art
director at __________. Both showings were
successful, and _________ decided to purchase the
license to distribute in September 1988 .And hence, X
1.0 was released in 1990 for Macintosh exclusively.
The Arabic, Greek, and Hebrew versions of X are now
.available from Winsoft. Identify X.
38. 20. X coined the word Y (the behavioral equivalent of a gene)
to describe how Darwinian principles might be extended to
explain the spread of ideas and cultural phenomena. This
has spawned the field of Ytics. X‘s Ys refer to any cultural
entity that an observer might consider a replicator of a
certain idea or a complex of ideas. X hypothesised that
people could view many cultural entities as capable of such
replication, generally through exposure to humans, who
have evolved as efficient (although not perfect) copiers of
information and behaviour. Ys are not always copied
perfectly, and might indeed become refined, combined or
otherwise modified with other ideas, resulting in new
memes, which may themselves prove more, or less,
efficient replicators than their predecessors, thus providing
a framework for a hypothesis of cultural evolution,
analogous to the theory of biological evolution based on
genes. Identify both X AND Y, the author The Selfish Gene.

70. 36.Ferdowsi, the famed Iranian poet-historian, gives a
number of accounts of royal X tournaments in his 9th
century epic, Shahnameh (the Epic of Kings), including
an international match. Certainly Persian literature and
art give us the richest accounts of X in antiquity. The
modern game of X, though formalized and popularized
by the British, is derived from Manipuris, who played
the game known as 'Sagol Kangjei‘ or 'Kanjai-bazee‘.
The oldest X club in the world still in existence is
the Calcutta X Club (1862). X is now an active sport in
77 countries, and although its tenure as
an Olympic sport was limited to 1900–1939, in 1998
the IOC recognised it as a sport with a bona fide
international governing body. X is unique among team
sports in that amateur players, often the team patrons,
routinely hire and play alongside the sport's top
professionals. Identify X.
74. 38.X was the first emperor crowned by a Pope,
Pope Leo III. X's native language was
undoubtedly a form of Germanic idiom; however,
the specifics as to which remain a matter of
controversy. It was probably
a Germanic dialect of the Ripuarian Franks,
but linguists differ on its identity and chronology.
X died January twenty-eighth, the seventh day
from the time that he took to his bed, at nine
o'clock in the morning, after partaking of the Holy

Edison owned most of the major patents relating

bringing suits. Because of this, a number of these
people responded by building their own cameras
and moving their operations to Hollywood,
California. Identify X.
78. 40.X's story has striking similarities to the 10th
century AD Persian tale of Rudāba, included in

plot of X’s story has been used and parodied in
various media and its best known line is an
idiom of popular culture. X is called Locika in
Czech, Roszpunka in Polish and Zlatokosa in
Croatian. An influence for X
was Petrosinella or Parsley, written
by Giambattista Basile in his 1634 work, Lo
cunto de li cunti (The Story of Stories),
or Pentamerone. Identify X.
