Peace, Love and
Plants: Reboot
Let’s Fucking Go

Question 13
The real reason for this isn't really a storytelling choice but rather a marketing
afterthought. In the story, the reason was explained on the basis that one group
was the working class and the other group was part of the military.
The real reason is that when Hasbro bought the licence for X they found that the
current line-up of toys wouldn't sell well in the American market. To solve this
problem Hasbro decided that the best way to create demand was to give them a
backstory.
They changed the original Japanese name to X, and then decided that they had to
create a clear division between the groups which usually helps the toys to sell well.
Based on market research, they also wanted the two groups to be distinct and
easily distinguishable to kids. This generally holds true to this day.
What is being talked about here? Also ID X.

Question 2
The cost of the X caps that soldiers wear has increased to over £2,000 per cap, according to
data from the Ministry of Defence (MoD). Although their posting changed a year ago, their
duties haven’t.
According to data provided in response to a Freedom of Information request from activists
for animal welfare, the price of the ceremonial caps rose by 30% in just one year.
PETA opposes the use of actual fur in general, but they also claim that, given the £1 million
that has been spent in recent years, there is now a financial as well as ethical concern. But
the MoD is not yet convinced that fake fur meets the five tests it has set for a X alternative,
in terms of its comfort and keeping its shape in all types of weather.
Those tests are "water absorption, penetration, appearance, drying rate and compression“
which are very important due to the stationary post that these soldiers take up.
Identify X

Question 3
The word 'X' does not have a Latin root or derive from a prior French phrase. In printing, a X
was a printing plate cast from movable type. This is also called a Y. When letters were set
one at a time, it made sense to cast a phrase used repeatedly as a single slug of metal. "X"
came to mean such a ready- made phrase. Many authorities say that the French word "X"
comes from the sound made when the molten stereotyping metal is poured onto the
matrix to make a printing plate, thus making it an onomatopoeia.
In today's context however, X denotes an expression, idea, or element of an artistic work
which has been overused to the point of losing its original meaning or effect,
especially when at some earlier time it was considered meaningful or novel.
Y denotes a thought that may be adopted about specific types of individuals or certain
ways of doing things, but that belief may or may not accurately reflect reality.
What are X and Y

Question 5
The Mansudae Art Studio is an art studio in Phyongchon District, Pyongyang, North Korea. It was
founded in 1959 and employs around 4,000 people, including 1,000 artists. Most of its artists are
graduates of Pyongyang University. The studio consists of 13 groups, working with woodcuts,
drawings, oil paintings, embroidery and jewel paintings, among other things. Its foreign commercial
division is known as the Mansudae Overseas Project Group of Companies. They hold a monopoly in the
production of something. What is that?

Question 6
According to X,
The first thing we’re gonna do to stop racism is stop focusing on racism.
[AIDS is] a man-made disease. [It was] placed in Africa just like crack was
placed in the black community to break up the Black Panthers.
What's a B+ mean? I'm an extremist, its either pass or fail! A+ or F-! You know
what, f–k you and the whole f–king staff!
I walk through the hotel and I walk down the street and people look at me
like I'm f–king insane, like I'm Hitler. One day the light will shine through, and
one day people will understand everything I ever did.
ID X

Question 7
Shown on the right is a man accused of violating his
probation in April 2010 in a methamphetamine
manufacturing case in Tuscaloosa, Alabama
What is his good name?

Question 16
In this McDonald's themed deck of
playing cards, the company made it
sure to design the cards in such a
manner that The Queen is holding
the burger and The King is holding
the fries, and not the other way
round. Why did McDonald's follow
this specific arrangement?

Question 9
The Postal Museum in London in 1993 purchased a collection of stamps coming from
Great Britain, Monaco, Aden and Zanzibar, collected by a X from a very young age, the
proceed of which went to an HIV/AIDS organization set up in 1991. His father worked in
a British colonial office. It was his interest in stamps that likely inspired X’s stamp
collecting. Fittingly, X was posthumously remembered on one of a series of stamps
produced to mark the millennium.
Who’s X?

Question 1
Presented to the U.S. Ambassador by Soviet schoolchildren, the Great Seal of the United
States hung proudly in his office in Spaso House from 1946 to 1952. However during a
retesting six years later, they pulled a tiny scrap of metal about the length and shape of a
pencil tube out of there, which they initially thought nothing of, because it didn't have a
single wire or battery running from it. In fact, the device had no electronics at all: It was
simply wood and metal designed in such a way that sound waves changed the
dimensions of the interior space, which an ultra-high frequency signal could pick up on.
This microphone could be turned on at whim from a remote location, but stayed an inert
metal rod inside a piece of wood when not. It was an invention so cunning, simple and
effective that only one man, the feared Soviet master of sound, could have invented it: Lev
Termen.
However, Lev Termen later on defected to the US, and changed his name to
Leon X, lending his name to an instrument that a popular TV character Y is shown to play.
Give me X and Y

Question 10
In Antrim Castle Gardens(Northern Ireland)s’ Parterre
Garden, a sculpture of X — clad in a headscarf, tartan
skirt and quilted vest — now stands next to a previously
erected statue of her husband Philip. The bronze couple
look over a patch of pansies with two of X’s beloved pets
at their feet. But after its unveiling last week, the
sculpture drew a critical response online — with
comparisons to Robin Williams’s character in the 1993
movie “Mrs. Doubtfire,” a character in the animated film
series “Wallace and Gromit” and “a body builder in old
person drag.”
Simply find X

Question 11
Ecce homo qui est faba.
Ecce homo qui est faba.
Vale homo qui est faba, qui est faba, qui est faba Vale homo qui est faba
Vale homo qui est faba, qui est faba
Translation:
Behold the man who is a X.
Farewell the man who is a X
ID X.
X was also present during the open ceremony of the London Summer Olympics
2012

Question 15
In this short clip from the trailer of Asterix & Obelix: The Middle Kingdom, we see a
cameo from a larger-than-life personality, who makes his acting debut in the film,
playing a Roman gladiator. Simply ID this guy, who proclaims to be the 'God' of a
Roman city where he currently plies his trade in a completely different field.

Question 12
Amar Chitra Katha series of comics enthralled many in the current generation to
understand the cultural ethos of India, but it wasn't a smooth run during the early
issues of the comics.
One such problem arose with an issue of 'Valmiki'. It retold the story of the Hindu
saint before composing Ramayan wherein his lifestyle as a thief was depicted.
Certain groups didn't take this depiction lightly and claimed their religious
sentiments were hurt. Effigies of Anant Pai (founder of ACK) were burnt at a few
places.
To avoid any scope for such controversy in the future and to give a bold statement
that an artistic change was undertaken and the design of cover pages of such
issues started including a motif. ACK respected all religious leaders,
What change did ACK implement?

Question 8
Andre Geim, a renowned physicist working in England in the
School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester, would be forever
known for winning 2 very similar yet very distant awards. One of these awards were due
to his findings through which he was able to levitate a frog using magnets, the other
for his intrinsic work on graphene, an allotrope of carbon consisting of a single
layer of atoms arranged in a honeycomb nanostructure. However similar these 2
awards may sound, it is believed that the people after which these awards were created
are believed to be long lost cousins.
What are these two awards?

Question 14
In a paper published in the University of Colorado, Sociologists claim that using X
may convey unintentional negative emotions..
To find out if X any measurable impact on students, they were given four versions
of a graded essay by an unknown instructor. In analysing their results, the
researchers found that when students disagreed with their evaluation, they judged
the instructor more harshly when X was used and as a result, rated them lower.
The paper theorizes that X is akin to using all caps when writing text messages
it's like shouting at a person and those on the other end up feeling a little bit
abused. It doesn't really promote the learning process.
ID X.

Question 17
A Tik Tok user by the name of rxelei was playing The Last of Us: Part 1 and looking for a
place to hide from enemies in what seemed like just a random abandoned building.
However, rxelei noticed that the layout of the room looked remarkably similar to something,
which led to the discovery of another easter egg in the game. Where had he seen the room
before?

Question 42
Earliest evidence of X in print:
“A serious assault was committed upon a young man named
George Eastwood. Living at 3 court, 2 house, Arthur Street,
Small Heath, on Saturday night. It seems that Eastwood,
who has been for some time a total abstainer, called
between ten and eleven o'clock at the Rainbow Public House
in Adderly Street, and was supplied with a bottle of
gingerbeer. Shortly afterwards several men known as the X,
whom Eastwood knew by sight from their living in the same
neighborhood as himself, came in.”
On the right is X’s most powerful member, Thomas Gilbert

Question 19
In the final of Champions League T20, on 4th October, 2014, when KKR's Kuldeep Yadav
came to bowl his first over, CSK's Brendon McCullum hit five sweep shots off his deliveries.
This made the commentator Arun Lal joke that McCullum might have taken X's initiative Y a
little bit too seriously.
ID X and Y.

Question 20
In popular video game Borderlands 2,
A random citizen in Sanctuary will sometimes say "I'm missing the new episode of
Constable What!“,
Hyperion robots can often be heard uttering "Deleted!“,
In the character selection screen, Claptrap sometimes says, "I need to pee," which will
trigger him to go into the outhouse. Said outhouse will then vanish, and pop back up.
When fighting Lab Rats, they'll sometimes scream, "Don't blink! Blink and you're dead!"
What are these all direct references to

Question 21
In this episode of Whose line is it anyway, for the game Themed Restaurants, the theme
being Horror, Wayne and Drew sit down and order drinks. How does Collin’s reply tie down
to the theme of the restaurant(dialogue seen below):

Question 22
Shown here is a journalist from the late 20th century
metaphorically and very literally "eating his own words"
who wrote the following words about a certain event
happening back then:
"If their pride is not important enough to spur them to
wholehearted effort this time, they might as well give
way to other would-be participants.”
His criticism inspired the people involved to prove him
wrong which was also recreated late last year on the big
screen.
What was the incident.

Question 23
• Do not be fooled by X's resemblance to Latin. In spite of the resemblance, X conveys nothing of
meaning.
. In fact, this lack of meaning allows X to serve its purpose as a placeholder with no influence on
the layout.
The 'words' in X are meant to approximate the frequency of letters in English usage, which is why
at a glance it looks quite real.
X's similarity to sections of a famous Latin work [quoted below] might give a clue about the
origins of this now ubiquitous tool, with the most notable passage
excerpted below:
"... porro quisquam est, qui do quia dolor sit amet, conse...“
What is X

Question 24
Many know that X, an archetypal sailor, only visited India in around 1958-60 when he grudgingly
accompanied his journalist friend and his canine companion on a trip to Tibet via New Delhi.
• A little known fact is that his family-namesake, a Capt. Joseph (1631-1696), commanded a ship
from Madras to China and back from May 1689- March 1690.
•Joseph's brother Richard too was in the Royal Navy and is noted to be one of the inspirations for
X's ancestor, Sir Francis.
• Identify X

Question 25
While beginners would resort to a linear trajectory of the projectile, professionals would try and
perfect the non-linear approach to scoring more consistently.
There are multiple factors that ensure that no two attempts are ever identical ranging from
varying oil patterns, orientation, and the angular velocity of the projectile.
. Mathematically, it is seen that an entry angle of about 4 to 6 degrees would do the trick. The
sequence of motions that takes place before the final impact are skidding, hooking and then
rolling before striking.
What is this?

Question 26
Having a _______ ________ with your name on it can be a death sentence in 1940, when the Nazis
invaded Denmark.
Sending _____ out of Hitler's Germany was illegal. So if the invading Nazis found these items
engraved with the names of certain Germans, it could have led to their executions. So as the Nazi
invaders march through Copenhagen in 1940, a certain George started "disintegrating" the two
_________ that were illegally taken out of Germany and stored it in a container with the help of an
"agent".
When he returned after the Nazi defeat, the container had not been touched and he got the back.
It was then sent back to the academy, where it had originally been made. It was then recast and
re-presented to its original owners in a ceremony in 1952.
What were these one of a kind items? What "agent" aided the storage of these items in an
undetectable form?

Question 27
The use of shorthand expressions came about during the late 1830s, when it became popular to
use abbreviations rather than entire terms during conversations. For example, people would
commonly say OFM instead of "our first men" and SP instead of "small potatoes." Most historians
believe that __ stands for "all correct".
The trend started out in Boston and spread throughout the West. It soon became fashionable to
make facetious abbreviations using purposely misspelled words, such as saying "NC" for "nuff
ced" instead of "enough said."
Fill in the blanks.

Question 28
X is a video that went viral and after being clubbed
with a 10-year old soundtrack(shown) that is now one
of the most memed soundtracks ever.
X is now a commonly used darkly comedic meme on
the internet.
What is the name of this video X ?

Question 29
An instant camera is a camera which uses self-
developing film to create a chemically developed print
shortly after taking the picture. XYZ Corporation
pioneered consumer-friendly instant cameras and
film, and were followed by various other
manufacturers.
XYZ glasses give 100% UV Protection making them
nice and comfortable to see through.
Find XYZ.

Question 30
A landmark nature series titled Life on Earth was first
shown on BBC.
In it, a presenter travels the globe in order to trace the
story of the evolution of life on the planet.
In his 80 years in front of the camera he is the only
person to win BAFTA awards for work in Black & White,
Colour, HD and 3D.
Who is this iconic figure in nature conservation who
has multiple species named after him?

Question 31
● X is an artistic or symbolic trope acting as a reminder of the inevitability of death.
The concept has its roots in the philosophers of classical antiquity and Christianity,
and appeared in funerary art and architecture from the medieval period onwards.
● The most common motif is a skull, often accompanied by bones. Often this alone is
enough to evoke the trope, but other motifs include a coffin, hourglass, or wilting
flowers to signify the impermanence of life.
● It very famously appears in the events that Lemony Snicket narrates as the motto of
the boarding school where the Baudelaires were sent to, to stay temporarily

Question 31
● In Pixar’s hit movie Coco (2017),
the protagonist Miguel can be
seen running past an art gallery of
sorts whilst trapped in the Land of
the Dead on Dia de los Muertos.
Aptly, in the art gallery we see a
portrait of a haunting duo but as
skeletons. Simply ID the duo

Question 32
After X was moved from Baltimore, the plan was to dress him in a yellow or orange
jumpsuit. Y, the actor who played X convinced director and costume designer that the
character would seem more clinical and unsettling if he was dressed in pure white. Y
has since said he got the idea from his fear of dentists. In preparation for his role,
Y studied files of serial killers. Also, he visited prisons, and studied convicted murderers,
and was present during some court hearings concerning gruesome murderers and
serial killings. He went on to say that if the film hadn't garnered the career boost he was
seeking, he would have then quit his acting career in Hollywood and focus all his efforts
instead on the British stage.

Question 33
Name of the movie and
Blanked out part?

Question 34
One of the earliest mentions is in Charles Cotton's 1670 work, Voyage to Ireland in
Burlesque.
Mistress mayoress complained that the pottage was cold;
'And all long of your fiddle-faddle,' quoth she.
'Why, then,___________(5,3,5), what if it be?
Hold you, if you can, your tittle-tattle,' quoth he.
The phrase highlights the relative privilege that the mayoress enjoys. The first word in
the phrase is a corruption of the then-equivalent of "Mrs." and the second hyphenated
word refers to her material advantage in have two of something when the rest have
none.
Over the years, the meaning of the phrase has changed from someone having privilege
to someone showing altruism.

Question 35
"X," murmurs Rob Reiner's character knowingly to Tom Hanks in Sleepless in Seattle.
"What is X?" asks Hanks' character, a widower venturing back into the world of dating.
"Some woman is gonna want me to do it to her and I'm not gonna know what it is!"
"You'll love it," Reiner assures him.
Tristar, the official distributors of the movie, apparently received as many as 30 calls a
day from viewers as anxious as Hanks to be enlightened. Some were disappointed (and
others were audibly relieved) to discover it was merely an obscure Italian dessert, which
literally translated to "pick-me-up."

Question 36
The ____ ______ is a self-governing country based in the South Pacific. Citizens of this
place also hold New Zealand citizenship. They are named after a famous British
navigator.
However, this country has become a haven for tax avoidance especially for rich felons
and Ponzi scheme perpetrators. It has therefore gained another notorious nickname:
The _____ ______
Identify both nicknames (only differentiated by one letter)

Question 37
Colloquially known as "the change", this is a painful process that can damage the bones,
brain, and heart of a person.
In the US, close to 80% of those undergoing "the change" experience symptoms such as
hot flushes, night sweats, depression, insomnia, anxiety and memory loss. Symptoms
can last up to 12 years.
Around 25% in developed countries feel so wretched that their quality of life is dimmed.
Almost 50% in Britain experiencing it say that their work suffers as a result. What am I
referring to

Question 38
This brand line (one of the largest selling for the company)
was growing at a decent pace until 2008-09 where it started
seeing a gradual decrease and a bottoming out in sales.
This was majorly due to a massive decrease in sales in a
single month every
year.
Which brand? Why was there a monthly drop in sales?
Similarly in this very month, a massive decrease in
lubricants is also observed as part of an online challenge to
improve mental health with over 52,000 followers as
recorded in 2019, with an unclear number today. The
following month is often observed as a month for
destruction.
What is the popular name of this online challenge and
its destructive counterpart

Question 39
Joseph Hubertus X was a German self-defense instructor for detectives at Scotland
yard in the early 1910s. When WW1 began, X, along with other German nationals in
Britain at the time, was interned as an 'enemy alien' at a prison camp. At the camp,
he convinced his fellow prisoners to follow his training regime - which he claimed
was the art of using a set of controlled movements that made you feel like you've
had a workout - and trained them, even attaching springs to hospital beds to allow
bed-ridden patients to participate. An influenza epidemic struck England in 1918,
killing thousands of people, but not a single one of X's trainees died - X claiming that
this was a testimony to the effectiveness of his system.
• After his release, he went back to Germany and popularised his ideas, before
emigrating to the US in 1926.
• ID X.

Question 40
Seen here is an apparatus found near shops and apartment complexes in the
affluent parts of London. What purpose do they serve

Question 41
X pickup is a term used in the UK to refer to large synchronised surges in national
electricity consumption that occur due to the boiling of kettles and the opening of
fridge doors by millions of people at the same time.
• The largest surge typically occurs everyday at 9 pm, and each one imposes
anywhere between 200 and 800 MW of demand, depending on the duration of the
causative factor.
What causes these surges, What is X(a gadget)

Question 18
List of what?

Question 43
• The Autosomal Dominant Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst syndrome is a
rare medical condition that induces uncontrollable X in response to specific stimuli,
such as looking at bright lights and or peri-ocular injection, that wouldn't affect
people without this trait.
• The condition affects 18-35% of the population in the United States, but its exact
mechanism of action is presently unclear.
What is X?

Question 44
• If you try to book a cab in China on Didi Chuxing, you might find your cab driven
by people like in the image, labelled as 'ghost' or 'zombie drivers'.
• Why are drivers using these photos?

Question 45
• What is the common name of the Citrus
medica var. sarcodactylis, an unusually
shaped citron variety, used as religious
offerings in China and Japan due to it's
resemblance to something?

Question 45
Literally meaning 'goat song', the word is said to have originated from Ancient Greece,
where men and women dressed in goatskin as satyrs (half man-half goat) sang and
performed in honor of the God
Dionysus.
• Aristotle claimed that these 'goat songs' were popular among Athenian audiences
due to the feeling of catharsis that the members of the audience feel.
What's the good word

Question 46
The project came about when
Foodiggity founder Chris Durso's young
son suggested they make states out of
food. Durso almost dismissed the idea,
until his son added, "But what if they like
had funny names like New Pork or New
Jerky?"
• With this in mind, what is the name of
this state-shaped piece of food?

Question 47
"On the way to _____ ____, by and by, we happened there just in time to be in at the birth
of a marvel and memorable scientific discovery... that in certain ways the foul and
derided Ganges water is the most puissant purifier in the world! This curious fact, as I
have said, had just been added to the treasury of modern science. It had long been
noted as a strange thing that while Benares is often afflicted with the cholera she does
not spread it beyond her borders. This could not be accounted for. Mr. Henkin, the
scientist in the employ of the government of Agra concluded to examine the water. He
went to Benares and made his tests. He added swarm after swarm of cholera germs to
this water; within the six hours they always died, to the last sample. For ages and ages
the Hindus have had absolute faith that the water of the Ganges was absolutely pure...
The Hindus have been laughed at, these many generations, but the laughter will need to
modify itself a little from now on."
Who, and FITB.
