ENTERTAINMENT

In the original ending, the X killed Y in the movie Z. The Censor Board did not agree with this ending, saying that its vigilante aspect undermined the rule of law and could adversely influence naive young minds. So, a new ending was created that showed the police running in at the last moment, arresting Y, and specifically telling the X that only the law has the right to punish criminals. The original ending was restored in the 204-minute director's cut. 

X - Thakur

Y - Gabbar Singh

Z - Sholay

SCI-TECH

The quote "logarithmic plots are a device of the devil" is attributed to X.

X invented an instrument generally consisting of a constantly unwinding roll of paper, anchored to a fixed place, and a pendulum or magnet suspended with a marking device above the roll – to record even a sensitive motion. X chose to use the term "magnitude" to describe the quantity being measured because of his early interest in astronomy; stargazers use the word to describe the brightness of stars. Gutenberg suggested that the scale be logarithmic, so that a 7 would be ten times stronger than a 6, a hundred times stronger than a 5, and a thousand times stronger than a 4.
