3. 1. Magician X and writer Y were at one point of time
friends. Later, in the 1920s, X went on to become a
prominent opponent of the Spiritualist movement, which Y
was a part of. Although X insisted that Spiritualist mediums
employed trickery and consistently exposed them as
frauds, Y became convinced that X himself possessed
supernatural powers—a view expressed in his book The
Edge of the Unknown. X was apparently unable to
convince Y that his feats were simply illusions, leading to a
bitter public falling out between the two. Identify X and Y.
6. 2. X is a 1953 film directed by John Ford, featuring Clark Gable and
Grace Kelly. They encounter gorillas while on a safari in the film. A
party travelling down the Anawhata once discovered that the cry
'X' could be produced with great volume and had very satisfactory
resonant qualities. It became a club call, of greeting or when
making contact on a tramp, for many years.
In India however, we know this name better as that of an iconic
movie role.
Give me X.
9. 3. X plays the role of Johnathan Irons, CEO of the Atlas
Corporation, the world's most powerful military corporation
in the first-person military shooter videogame Y (released in
2014) and is the main antagonist in the videogame.
X also plays the role of a utterly ruthless and conniving
politician (a Democrat from South Carolina's 5th
congressional district), in an American political drama
television series Z, developed and produced by Beau
Willimon. It is an adaptation of BBC's mini-series of the same
name and is based on the novel by Michael Dobbs.

Z – House of Cards
12. 4. During a party in Weimar in the winter of 1785, X had a late-
night conversation on his theory of primary colours with the
South American revolutionary Francisco de Miranda. This
conversation inspired Miranda to design the yellow, blue and red
flag of Gran Colombia, from which the present national flags of
Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador are derived. Identify X.
15. 5. X also popularly know in the music world as
"Fresh Prince" has won 4 Grammy awards for
his contributions into the field of Hip-Hop. He
has also enjoyed immense success in the
television and the film industry. X has been
nominated for four Golden Globe Awards, two
Academy Awards as well.

18. 20. Located on Videy Island in Iceland, the
structure shown is built in the shape of a
wishing well and is marked by the use of
several lights that converge to form a single
beam and mirrors. This structure bears
inscriptions such as Shanti Ki Kalpana Kare in
Hindi and Samadhaanatthai Ninaiyungal in
Tamizh. The structure is normally in operation
between 9th October and 8th December, two
crucial dates in the life of X, who is considered
something of an icon in the world of music
and beyond. The structure takes its name from
very a famous 1971 song Y by X .
Just identify X and the song Y.
20. X – John Lennon

21. 6. "Reefer Madness" (originally titled "Tell your children") is a
1936-39 "propaganda-exploitation-film" that revolved around
exaggerated and melodramatic events that ensue when
students try X. From a hit and run accident, to manslaughter,
suicide, attempted rape, and descent into madness due to X.
Although finding a popular audience as a cult film, critics have
panned it as one of the worst films ever made.
Just give me X.
24. 7. X first entered the UK Singles Chart on 30 April 1994, and
remained there for a total of 15 weeks, reaching a two-week
high of #1. X is the only single of its kind to reach #1 in the UK
charts. With Y being involved in recording X, it was agreed
upon that Y’s 1988 single “Burning Bridges” would form the
basis of X. X was released on April 25th, 1994, four weeks
ahead of a major annual sporting showpiece, and by the time
it came around, X was #1 on the charts.
Id X and Y.
27. 8. Anthony Burgess has stated that the inspiration for X might
have been advertising billboards for educational
correspondence courses from a company called Bennett's,
current during WWII. The original posters showed Bennett
himself; a kindly looking old man offering guidance and support
to would-be students. Speculation has also focused on Lord
Kitchener, who among other things was prominently involved in
British military recruitment in WWI(picture next slide). The
magazine Book ranked X #59 on its 100 Best Characters in
Fiction Since 1900 list. Wizard magazine rated X the 75th
greatest villain of all time.
Id X, a darling of popular culture.
31. 9. In the early hours of June 5, 1960, four teenagers were
camping on the shores of X. Between 4AM and 6AM, an
unknown person or people murdered three of them with a
knife and wounded the fourth. To date, these murders remain
unsolved. In the mid 90s, when the members of the band
“Inearthed” from Espoo were asked to come up with a new
name, they looked into the town phonebook, read about the
incident, and decided to adopt a new name, as X had an
impact and a very interesting story behind it.
Just give me the name of the band.
34. 10. Shown here is a picture of ______

appeal due to the fact that
they were “rebels” and the wife’s
loyalty to the husband.
