 The Big Red Word vs. the Little Green Man - The international
war over _______ ________ was the title of a 2010 Slate
article that debated the pros and cons of the two parties
referenced in the article title. The article goes on to explain
how The Little Green Man prevailed and was made official in
1985.

 What was the article about? OR FITB.

 This map is the brainchild of a popular company X and is
updated on a daily basis. It is a heat map of the American
Presidential election based on the partisan nature of a
particular commodity Y bought by the people. These are
divided into "red" (Republican), "blue" (Democrat) and
neutral. The top-selling Ys in both red and blue categories
over the past 30 days are recorded and the addresses of the
purchasers noted. The map's color and intensity displays
which states are favoring which party based on the sales.

 So, what are X and Y?

 Image in the next slide.

 SS Persia was a passenger liner that was torpedoed and sunk off the coast
of Crete without warning on 30 December 1915, by U-38, a German
submarine. The ship sank in 10 minutes, killing 343 people. The sinking
was highly controversial, since it broke naval international law that stated
merchant shipping carrying passengers should be given opportunity for
the passengers to disembark before combat could commence.

 One of the survivors of the mishap was John Douglas-Scott-Montagu, 2nd
Baron Montagu of Beaulieu. However, his secretary and mistress perished
in the incident. Her death created headlines because the lady was the
object of much attention 4 years prior to this.

 Why?

 This mosaic of Martin Luther King titled ‘Dream Big’, was the
brainchild of noted American artist Pete Fecteau and gained
him a lot of attention in 2010. Fecteau used a computer draft
as his blueprint, spending 40 hours and 4,242 sub-units in the
construction of the portrait.

 What were the sub-units used?


 The following images represent a ‘before-after’ scenario.

 What ‘insanely creative solution to a problem’ is the
difference between both the images?

 Images follow.

This was considered subliminal advertising (at its very best
though) for Marlboro and raked up a storm following which
Ferrari dropped the barcode symbol as well

 British novelist-playwright Simon Armitage composed a few
poems, inspired by the Hay Festival. One of them is given
below:

 The Rickshaw:

“The journey from town
was a smooth one, but the view
was complete buttocks.”

 What name did the media give to these poems?

 Since 2003, well known photographer Michael Marten has
travelled around the British coast to snap up identical views
at high and low tide, six or 18 hours apart.

 What name meaning ‘a radical change or transformation’ did
he assign to his project?

 Images in the next 2 slide.

 Laurence Olivier is one of only a few actors, along with David
Garrick, Henry Irving, Ben Jonson and Sybil Thorndike to
have been accorded this honor (in 1989). He also shares this
honor with some of the people he portrayed in theatre and
film, including King Henry V, General John Burgoyne and Air
Chief Marshal Hugh Dowding.

 What are we talking about?

 Turkish Airlines very recently granted X a handpicked crew,
made up of 20 female flight attendants, to accompany the
members of X during their flights. This was because the male
flight attendants constantly asked for autographs and other
paraphernalia from the members of X, which eventually
became a problem for the accompanying officials.

 X please.

 X is the term given for a pair of consecutive numbers n and
n+1 such that the sums of the prime factors of n and n+1 are
equal. The term was coined by famous number theorist Carl
Pomerance who first noticed this for the pair of numbers 714
and 715 which were in news thanks to an event that
happened on April 8, 1974.

 Identify X or the event.

 From an article about an ad campaign by Toyota:

 “The X is a once in a lifetime event and Toyota is taking advantage of it in a
way that isn't terribly obvious. They could single-handedly put an end to an
entire genre of television truck demos. If Chevy or Ford shows an ad of their
trucks pulling something heavy, all Toyota has to do is point to this. "We just
pulled the X through Los Angeles." Way, way more dramatic and convincing
than anything the other manufacturers could tow behind their rigs.”

 The model being used to pull X is the Tundra Y and Toyota has even set up
a website for people to monitor the progress on a daily basis (images in
the next 2 slides).

 Just identify X and Y.

 This brainchild of French sculptor Pierre Vivant was
conceived in 1998. It came up on the site of a struggling
member of the genus Platanus (and imitated the natural
landscape of the other adjacent members of the genus) and
was supposed to be a reflection of the intense activity at the
nearby Stock Exchange, but this proved to be too expensive
to put into practice.


 Image of the tree in the next slide.

 There are 1366 of them currently and are named so because
people sat in assigned chairs in the hall where the day’s
proceedings happened. The term lost its literal meaning in
1871 with the advent of a new set of working rules. They are a
highly sought-after commodity with the most expensive
inflation-adjusted sale being in 1929 for $625,000 (which,
today, would be over $6 million).


 Pictured is a two-handed longsword which was in vogue in
Scotland in the medieval ages. Typically hand-and-a-half in
length, it was the mainstay of the Highland warriors of the
late 15th and 16th centuries. It is characterized by a cross hilt
of forward-sloping quillons with quatrefoil terminations.

 What modern-day weapon, with an effective range of 50 m
and a kill zone arc of 60 degrees in front (with the iconic
inscription Front Toward Enemy on it), is named after this
sword?


 Robert Glenn Johnson or Junior Johnson as he is popularly
known was one of the earliest superstars of NASCAR.
Nicknamed The last American Hero, he learnt driving by
running moonshine for his father, i.e. delivering illegal liquor
to customers. Many a time, he was confronted by police
officers and had to make his escape by throwing the car into
second gear, cocking the wheel, and then stepping on the
accelerator. He is widely credited for popularizing this
technique that supposedly originated in the Prohibition Era.

 Name the technique. What happens when it is successfully
executed?

 The jibe : “Only 63 percent of them followed him.”

The reply : “Indeed, not all of them followed me. Only
the weak ones didn't follow.”

 Explain the context and the jibe.

 This DC Comics character made his only appearance in
Superman Volume 2, #179 (August 2002). He is the self-
proclaimed protector of Harlem, New York, using his ability
to alter density and gravity of himself and others to protect
the community. He accuses Superman of ignoring Harlem
and the black community. He also tells Superman that he is
named after two of his heroes, one a religious personality
and the other a crusader for the rights of blacks.

 Just name the character.

 Mark Gruenwald was an American comic book writer-editor
and had a long association with Marvel Comics. He passed
away in 1996 as a result of a heart attack, but left a very
interesting final wish before his death. This wish was
honored in the first printing of the trade paperback
compilation of his 1985-86 mini-series, Squadron Supreme.
This also prompted Gruenwald’s widow, Catherine, to write
in the book’s foreword, “He has truly become one with the
story.”

 What was the wish?

 Dr. Francis Schwarze of the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science
and Technology was in news a few years back for a concept called
“mycowood” wherein he treated tree species like the Norway Spruce and
Sycamore with fungi like Physisporinus vitreus, a type of white rot, and Xylaria
longipes, commonly known as Dead Moll’s Fingers. This gradually degraded
the cell walls of the wood, thinning them rather than destroying them
completely. When the fungi had done their work, the planks were treated
with a gas that killed the infection.

 The exercise was aimed at beating the finesse of an enterprise that
supposedly thrived thanks to a cold spell in Europe in the late 17th - early 18th
centuries. Dr. Schwarze succeeded and a 2009 blind trial by noted expert in
the field Matthew Trusler rated his work better than its 300-year old
predecessor.


 It is a central European dance and music genre that
originated in 19th century Bohemia. The meanings attributed
to the name are many and include – half, woman of a
particular European country, field etc. This style was a big
source of inspiration for the Strauss family and influenced
many a composition of theirs.

 The dance, however, has also given a clothing pattern its
name and this was because of the dance's popularity at the
time the pattern became fashionable.

 Which clothing pattern, one which a certain Richard
Virenque has made his own?

 Visions of Science is an annual photographic competition
sponsored by Novartis and the Daily Telegraph newspaper,
with prize money totaling £8500. It seeks images that bring
science to life, cast a new light on some aspect of science, or
explain scientific research or natural phenomena. Pictured is
the 2003 prize winner, a creation of freelance photographic
artist Gina Glover, made using pairs of socks. It also appeared
on the front cover of Nature magazine.

 What is the photograph based on? (Exact answer required)


 The total length is over 1,000 feet and has about 1,200
working units. These units are variously classified as oarsmen
(move back and forth), jets and shooters (super and
extreme). The entity is active every 30 minutes from 3 pm to
7 pm, and every 15 minutes from 7 pm to midnight, the
activity hampered only by high winds. The whole set-up is
located in a water body covering an area of 8 acres.


 The travelling salesman problem is a problem studied in
operations research and theoretical computer science, with
vast applications in everything from airline scheduling to
computer chip design to reconstructing genomes. The
problem goes like this - Given a list of cities and their pairwise
distances, the task is to find the shortest possible route that
visits each city exactly once and returns to the origin city.

 By what other name is the problem known? OR What is the
source of the alternate name for the problem?

 It began on 11 July, 1972 and lasted till 31 Aug, 1972. The
location was the world's northernmost capital of a sovereign
state. The surrender came via a telephone call and brought
to an end a draught of 78 years.


 Dr. Pepper advertisements in the late noughties (2009
onwards) have featured celebrities like Andre Romelle
Young, Julius Erving, Gene Simmons, Neil Patrick Harris,
Kelsey Grammer etc. The logic behind using these people to
endorse the beverage is linked to the marketing slogan of Dr.
Pepper. All these ads end with the celebrity stating, “Trust
me. <Blanked out>”, an obvious reference to the slogan.

 So, what connects these celebrities? OR What has been
blanked out?

All of them are connected to the word “doctor”

Andre R Young = Dr. Dre
 Julius ‘Doctor’ Erving
 Gene Simmons wrote The Kiss’ song “Calling Dr. Love”
 Harris/Grammer played fictional doctors on screen

 Ascalon was the name given to the custom-built Avro York
used as a personal transport aircraft and flying conference
room by Winston Churchill during the latter part of WWII. The
name Ascalon is derived from an object that was crucial to a
legend to which the following locations have staked claim-
Silene, Libya/ the fictional city of Lasia/ Wormingford, Essex
etc. The legend describes a Cappadocian saving a princess
named Sabra and the consequent baptism of around 15,000
men and children.

 What legend? OR What is the Ascalon?


 Interviewer: “How did this lore about Y spread across the US?”
 Expert named Viturello: “It was very much a hive-mind kind of thing,
something that all kids did, and many still do on modern cartridge based
systems. Prior to the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) I don’t recall
people doing it with Atari or any other cartridge-based hardware that
predated the NES. I suppose it has a lot to do with the placebo effect. US NES
hardware required, on most games, optimal connection across up to 72 pins
as well as communication with a security lock-out chip. The theory that X
could be a legitimate inhibitor and that Y was the solution, still sounds silly to
me when I say it out loud.”

 Expert from an interview about a problem caused by X and whether Y was
indeed the solution. Even though Y is widely followed, NES state on their
website ‘Do not Y. It can corrode and contaminate the pin connectors.’

 X, Y and the problem please.

 Marc L. Moskowitz, an Anthropologist at the University of
South Carolina, famously released a documentary in 2011
titled Dancing For The Dead. The venture focused on a
tradition in Taiwan. The documentary also has the locals
variously explaining the tradition. Reasons given are:

 Some say it is because new ghosts get picked on by older ghosts so
the tradition was to distract the older ones to let the newer ones get
used to his environment.
 The deceased enjoyed it when alive
 If more people attended, more honor was given to the deceased. So,
this was to 'bribe' people to turn up

 What Taiwanese tradition are we talking about?

 It was the most famous comet of its day and considered to
be the brightest ever witnessed, shining on for 7 successive
days in 44 B.C. Its appearance became a powerful tool for
political propaganda during the period. The seven-day
visitation was also viewed by the witnesses as a sign of the
deification of X, in whose honor the comet is named. This
parabolic comet (a comet that returns less frequently than
every 200 years) is believed to have disintegrated.

 What was the event that prompted X to be associated with
this comet?

 This event, that happens on the 10th of December every year,
was cancelled for the first and only time in its history in 1979.
The total cost of the event was $7,000 with about 135 people
on the guest list. X, the person in whose honor the event was
organized, requested that the $7,000 be put to better use
and got it sent to X’s organization which in 2012 consisted of
over 4,500 active members in over 125 countries.

 Identify the event. Name X.

 A memorial to X in Macedonia is pictured in the next slide.

 Aerodium is a company based in Sigulda, Latvia and captured
public imagination during the closing ceremony of the 2006
Winter Olympics in Turin with their flagship product. Aerodium,
in 1979, also became the first company to customize this
product to suit humans.

 Pictured is the product being used to promote the movie
Superman Returns. Also pictured is a horizontal variant of this
product that was helped power a 1903 demonstration in Kill
Devil Hills, North Carolina.

 What product does Aerodium specialize in? What 1903 event
are we talking about?

 Images in the next two slides.

 Pictured is the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, the national indoor arena of
Sweden and the largest hemispherical building in the world. It is
primarily used for ice hockey games and musical concerts and has a
maximum seating capacity of 16,000 spectators. However, a more
significant use of the structure would be as the central location in a
project started by 2 Swedes Nils Brenning and Gosta Gahm in 1998. The
other primary locations in this project include:

 The Stockholm City Museum,
 Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm,
 Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm,
 Morby Centrum - a shopping centre in Danderyd, a suburb of Stockholm
 Arlanda Airport in Marsta
 Celsius Square in Uppsala
 Furuviks Park in Gavle
 By the river Soderhamnsan in Soderhamn

 What is this project?

 Google Scholar’s motto is something that has been widely
interpreted as a sarcastic attack on the person who
discovered the law of elasticity and coined the term ‘cell’
(as he was of slight build and suffered a lot because of
severe kyphosis) rather than a statement of modesty.

 What is the motto?

 Pictured is a still from a 2008 stage play performed to a
packed audience at Palakkad Town Hall. The play was based
on a 1965 work, but the surprising bit was that KPAC Lalitha
appeared on stage as the heroine.

 Just name the play/work.

 Image on the next slide.

 Nuwara Eliya is a town located in the Central province of Sri
Lanka. It is the main hill resort of Sri Lanka and is the heart of
the tea industry. The topography of the town is such that
black soil forms the top layer here. One of the most famous
attractions of the town is temple pictured (situated very close
to the Haggala Botanical Garden), which supposedly was built
in memory of a person who was held prisoner in the area.

 What reason is attributed to the black color of the soil in
Nuwara Eliya?

 The driver X started his career (in 2010) with team Y, which at
the 2012 Chinese Grand Prix set the unenviable record of
having the maximum number of starts (39) without scoring a
single point. X is pictured doing a demonstration drive in a
Lotus car at the 2004 Brazilian Grand Prix which he had
received as a gift at the 2004 San Marino Grand Prix.

 Name X and Y. What is special about the car pictured?

 Images in the next 2 slides.

 Company X was established with an investment of Rs.295 in
Kolkata in 1892 and in 1921 became the first company East of
the Suez to use gas ovens. One of their most memorable
promotions was an event Y that took place at the Brabourne
Stadium in December 2001, and was India's most successful
promotional activity of the year. The company itself was in
the control of the man pictured for a few years from the late
80s till his death in 1995, and this ownership contributed to his
popular nickname Z.

 Solve for X, Y and Z.


 Upon its completion in 1967, it was the largest statue in the
world, most record holders since have been ones related to a
particular religion. The location in 2006 saw the reburial of a
former textile factory director, who was initially buried in
Kiev, as it was his dying wish to be buried here. This person
was immortalized in a 1973 William Craig book that was
made into a 2001 movie.

 Identify the statue. Name the religion. Who was reburied
here in 2006?

 Images in the next slide.

 The image features an ad for Nippon Paint, while the video is
Nike’s ‘Chamber of Fear’ ad inspired by Bruce Lee flicks and
featuring LeBron James. Both these ads invited heavy
criticism and faced bans in an Asian country.

 Why were these ads banned?

 This theoretical project titled ‘X’s Breast’ is a brainchild of
American artist Janet Echelman . The title and the project
itself is a nod in the direction of a 1830 creation Y. The project
involves the use of knotted synthetic fiber for draping over
the I.M. Pei Pyramid at the Louvre Museum.

 Name X and Y.


 “I had a conversation with Vishal Dadlani, around a month ago, where I
pleaded him to take out the objectionable words from the song. This doesn't
seem to be a mistake, it's deliberate. Then he tweeted that Tejinder Bagga is
threatening him. Then we thought probably he is seeking some cheap
publicity, so we kept silence for one month before filing a police case. We
want punishment for such people. Vishal said you remove dengue, malaria
from the country and I will remove these words from the song, then I asked
him ‘is there any country in this world which is devoid of diseases, but is it
fair to make any disease the identity of that country.’”

 This is Tejinder Bagga of Bhagat Singh Kranti Sena (and the Prashant
Bhushan assault case fame) speaking, after filing a PIL against a 2012
Hindi movie with a story that deals with a plan to turn the city where the
movie is set into the equivalent of a Chinese metropolis.

 Just name the movie and the controversial song.

 This poster of X knocking out Jess Willard in Toledo, Ohio on
July 4, 1919, to become “Champion of the World”, today
hangs in the Great Hall of the National Portrait Gallery,
Washington, DC. The artist Y who created this poster was
supposedly the highest paid magazine illustrator in America
at his peak. Y, however, is most famous for a work Z that was
inspired by the cover of London Opinion, on 5 September
1914, featuring the then British Secretary of State.

 Solve for X, Y and Z.


 These stamps released on 1 March 1843, were the second
ever in the world (after the Penny Black that was conceived
three years earlier). The country (that issued these stamps)
has a synonym derived from a Gaulish tribe inhabiting the
area before the Roman conquest in 1st century B.C. This
name also appears on all its stamps today.

 Name the stamps pictured. Also gimme the synonym/name
of the tribe.

 Image on the next slide.

 What is the Singaporean slang for a patient who has
intractable vomiting?

 X is the only bird in the world with external nostrils at the tip
of its long beak. In proportion to its body size, X lays a bigger
egg than almost any other bird, equaling about 20% of its
body mass. The World Wars contributed to the bird
becoming recognized worldwide thanks to Y, a 1906
initiative by William Ramsay.

 What are X and Y?

 Marked the beginning of
the Mexican War of
Independence

 This term coined by William Murdoch, famous Scottish
engineer, is a misnomer as it refers to a container and not a
measuring instrument. There were over 550 of them in Britain
in the late 90s, but Transco, the company that operated them,
wanted them demolished as they were not required due to
technological advances in the field. They also provide the
backdrop to a famous English sporting location, but are today
being blamed for the public health risks they pose.

 What are we talking about? Also, identify the sporting location.

 Godrej and Boyce was the first Indian firm to manufacture
and market a particular office item (in the 1950s). Jawaharlal
Nehru described this item as a symbol of India's emerging

 The Aarne-Thompson Classification System was published
by Antti Aarne in 1910 and later translated, revised, and
enlarged by Stith Thompson in 1927 and again in 1961. The
system is considered the most valuable tool in the analysis of
_________ as it helps identify recurring patterns in the
structures of traditional _________. The sections in the system
include Wild Animals, Domestic animals, Wife, Husband,
Heaven, The Devil, Robbers and Murderers, Fool, Fate,
Religion etc.

 Fill in the blanks.

Apparatus used in a project that happened about 100 years back.
What did this project help establish?

 “...I was blinking at his beard when suddenly I became aware
of two surprisingly male, hairy arms going around me. I
panicked, and shot up the stairs, apologizing all the way. I flew
out into the open air, and ran as fast as I could to Prudence’s
room...I blurted out something about the cave, and arms, and
beard, and she said, ‘It’s an honor to be touched by a holy
many after meditation, a tradition.’”

 Who is speaking? What thus came to an end, according to
one version?

 This country has the largest proportion of indigenous people
in its continent, making up around two-thirds of the
population. This fact was honored in 2009 by changing the
official name of the country to the "Plurinational State of
_________" under the new constitution. The original name
was proposed in 1825 by congressman Manuel Martin Cruz
when he said: “If from Romulus comes Rome, then
from X comes _________ .”

 Just fill in the blanks.

 Gregory Clark is an American economist most famous for his
theory of economic history that chronicles the divide
between rich and poor nations that came about as a result of
the Industrial Revolution. He explains this through his 2008
