Which event is this related to?

Microsoft shuts down Clip Art

Q2

In ancient times, the origins of this spice were a mystery to the Western world, and Arab merchants wanted to keep it that way. To hike up the price, they spun an elaborate tale, claiming that giant birds collected sticks of this spice from far-off lands and used them to build nests on cliffs. To get the precious sticks, traders laid out massive chunks of ox meat, which the birds grabbed and carried to their nests. But because the slabs were so large, the nests would collapse, allowing the clever merchants to collect their prize.

Which spice?

A2

Cinnamon

Q3

X is the best known name given to an unidentified serial killer active in the largely impoverished areas in and around the Whitechapel district of London in 1888. The name originated in a letter written by someone claiming to be the murderer that was widely disseminated in the media. Within the crime case files as well as contemporaneous journalistic accounts the killer was called "the Whitechapel Murderer" as well as "Leather Apron".

Attacks ascribed to X typically involved female prostitutes who lived and worked in the slums of London and whose throats were cut prior to abdominal mutilations. The removal of internal organs from at least three of the victims led to proposals that their killer possessed anatomical or surgical knowledge.

Mainly because of the extraordinarily brutal character of the murders, and because of media treatment of the events, the public came increasingly to believe in a single serial killer known as "X"

A3

Jack the Ripper

Q4

The chief programmer Alexey Pajitnov was a huge fan of puzzles, especially pentominoes, which was sold in Moscow toy shops in the 80s. But since he found the concept of the puzzles rotating in real time a little too complicated, he dumbed it down a bit. Since he only had access to a computer which could display text, he used letters to form the pieces. What he created was among the first pieces of software exported by the Soviet Union under the Perestroika. The American version of this shipped with Korobeiniki, a 19th-century Russian folk song as the music.

What are we talking about?

A4

Pentominoes were rejected in favour of Tetrominoes, which became Tetris

Q5

While performing "Purple Haze", for six performances in a row, Hendrix, standing to the left of the stage, clearly pointed directly at Noel Redding standing to the right, and they both laughed and made a "thing" out of it, each time the phrase came up, "...scuse me while I ______X_____." This was not a mistake. The two of them were clearly "goofing" on and with the crowd and having a great time! Hendrix even walked over to Redding during one or two of these performances, and mimed the action.

Identify the misheard phrase.

A5

Q6

The term was coined by the Hindu monk and professor of Anthropology at Syracuse University, Agehananda Bharati:

“Some years ago, I created a model which… applies to Sri Aurbindo, creations of Swami Sivananda, Sathya Sai baba and others. I called it the ____X____ effect.

Before WWI ___X__ was the staple food of the poor peasants of a certain European country. But it was the poor who emigrated to USA, where X became a popular food item. By the early 30s, it became an All-American dish, and was later brought back in popularity in the European country.

Here in India, take Y’s work. It was a complete flop at first everywhere except in one city. And he could not even compare with the Kapurs and Lata Mangeshkar. But after given prizes and highest acclaim in foreign countries, it was reconsidered by Indian audiences.”

Q7

“A lanky, vivacious college beauty queen' (crowned 'Miss Sri Ram College' in '73), she had recently taken to modelling with great success. Dressed scantily in a towel she was seen on billboards and press ads promoting Delhi Cloth Mills."

On July 28, 1974, MCM, the agency behind the ad campaign, was called up by her father Lt. Col. TarlochanSingh Anand who demanded all pictures and transparencies of his daughter be returned. The press was told not to run the Ad anymore.

Identify the girl.

Q8

Monoliths are fictional advanced machines built by an unseen extraterrestrial species that appear in Arthur C. Clarke's Space Odyssey series of novels and films. During the series, three monoliths are discovered in the solar system by humans and it is revealed that thousands, if not more, were created throughout the solar system, although none are seen. The subsequent response of the characters to their discovery drives the plot of the series. It also influences the fictional history of the series, particularly by encouraging humankind to progress with technological development and space travel.

What, in the recent movie Interstellar, were inspired by these? (Not according to official sources, but most Redditors agree).

A8

The shapes of TARS AND CASE

Q9

The mere mention of his name conjures the image of a bare-chested guy, arms stretched as if he is sacrificing himself.

Far from being a well-orchestrated shoot however, what came about was the result of a bout of heavy drinking. The man was totally plastered - he was stumbling into the lights and his equilibrium was not terrific.

40 years later we still have folks trying to cash in on it, selling imitations of the only piece of jewellery seen in the bare-chested pic – a set of beads strung together – calling it the American Poet necklace.

What set of pictures (name the subject)?

A9

Jim Morrison

Q10

X never named an idea, discovery, or concept after himself, instead calling his therapies psychoanalysis. It is unknown who first coined the term “X Y", but it has since come to be used around the world and has been found in various pop-culture references and even found its way into everyday speech.

X talks about Y:

In the same way that psycho-analysis makes use of dream interpretation, it also profits by the study of the numerous little Ys and mistakes which people make --symptomatic actions, as they are called [...] I have pointed out that these phenomena are not accidental, that they require more than physiological explanations, that they have a meaning and can be interpreted, and that one is justified in inferring from them the presence of restrained or repressed impulses and intentions.

Give XY – very specific answer needed.

A10

Freudian Slip

Q11

The word X referred to a toilet in medieval times. Clothes such ascoats were hung over the toilet shaft as the ammonia fromn urinewas thought to kill fleas and moths. So X literally meant a place toprotect coats etc. This has led to the modern word Y where clothesare stored. X or Y?

A11

X - Garderobe or Y - Wardrobe

Q12

First design of X by Y. Give me X and Y.

A12

X- Twitter

Y- Jack Dorsey

Q13

It is the colour most associated with guide signs and street name signs in the United States. It is the background colour of the flag of one of our neighbours. It is also the colour of the uniform of the Police Service of Northern Ireland. It is widely used in the liquor business, where it began to find favour as a status symbol of sorts for many European breweries.

A13

Bottle Green

Q14

What has been blanked out?

A14

Q15

After the French revolution, the Estates General (Legislative Assembly) was segregated on the basis of those who supported the monarchy and those who supported the revolution. What came about because of this segregation?

A15

Those who supported the revolution sat on the Left and those who supported the Regime, on the Right. This is how the terms “Left Wing Politics” and “Right Wing Politics” came about.

In the 1960s, studies by Dr. Richard Harteswood proved that a certain genus had stopped flourishing because the US Forest Service had suppressed forest fires a little too well.

The study explained that the genus, paradoxically, needs forest fires to survive since the flames help open seed cones, clear the forest undergrowth, providing access to soft soil and important nutrients.

As a result, controlled fires are now part of government policy to help what genus?

D7X is a room-temperature superconductor, making it very valuable. It is worth $20 million per kilogram in its unrefined state. However it is expensive to mine, as its local environment is toxic to humans. X has a unique magnetic field and properties of superconductivity, causing it to levitate in magnetic fields.

On its native planet, the magnetic effect causes huge outcroppings of X to rip out of the surface and float in the magnetic vortices. These islands famously known as the Hallelujah Mountains.

After a few minutes, X hands me an iPhone with an early build of his new app, called Detour. I plug my headphones in, X taps his phone a couple of times, invites me to join his group, and we’re ready to go.

Detour is basically the San Francisco tech version of your typical walking tour. It’s an iPhone app designed to guide you through different parts of a city and introduce you to new places and people that live there.

The app takes a very content-centric approach to that process, and the people you’re listening to are more like storytellers than they are guides.

Here, we are talking about X’s new venture. Before this, X was the CEO of company Y, whose business model, according to a Forrester Research report from Oct 2011, was a “disaster” and that Y had become an example of "how fast an Internet darling can fall.“

X also acquired the defunct companies DBSD and Terrestar. X also made a bid to purchase Hulu on October 2011, but Hulu's owners chose not to sell the company. There was also speculation that X might purchase Sprint Nextel or Clearwire. In 2013, X made a bid for both companies.

The football club X was founded on 26 April 1903 by three Basque students. These founders saw the new club as a youth branch of their childhood team, Athletic Bilbao. They began playing in blue and white, similarly to Athletic Bilbao (Bilbao has changed their colors after that), but by 1911, X were playing in their current colours of red and white stripes. Many believe the change was influenced because red and white striped tops were the cheapest stripes to make, because the same combination was used to make bed mattresses, and the unused cloth was easily converted into football shirts. This discovery of a cheaper option probably persuaded them to change. Other more plausible account of the reason to change colours is that both Athletic Bilbao and X used to buy Blackburn Rovers blue and white kits in England. Once in 1911, Juanito Elorduy, former player and member of the board of X, went to England to buy kits for both teams. He did not find Blackburn Rovers kits and bought Southampton F.C. red and white ones instead. X adopted the red and white shirt but opted to keep Blackburn Rovers' blue shorts.
