internal cognition with computer
learning to create ahybrid extension

 During the warm months in the USA, large numbers of
children go to play in public swimming pools whenever
they can. Public swimming pools are also a place for adults
to go and exercise swimming long distances in a straight
line(lap swimming). It can be somewhat difficult and
annoying for adults to swim laps in a pool where children
are playing, and depending on arrangement of the pool it
also might not be very fun for the children. So the pool
typically sets aside tume periods during day when all the
children have to get out of the pool so the adults can swim
in peace.

Aurora X, or Southern Lights is the Southern Hemisphere
counterpart ofAurora Borealis (Northern Lights). Identify its
aptly given name.

 X was datingTobiVail of Bikini Kill—the riot grrrl band
fronted by Kathleen Hanna .The two bands hung out pretty
frequently. During a drunken trip to the grocery store, Hanna
andVail stopped in the deodorant aisle, and thought the
name Y was downright hilarious. "I mean, who names a
deodorant Y?What does Y smell like?" Hanna told Double J.
"Like a locker room? Like pot mixed with sweat? Like the
smell when you throw up in your hair at a party?"When
Hanna hung out with X later that night she ended up
scrawling “X SMELLS LIKEY," on a wall in his room with a
Sharpie. And the rest is a part of pop culture history…….

 Smells LikeTeen Spirit Nirvana

This brand derives it's name from generational
differences between baby boomers and their parents and
hence the name.Which brand?

 Earlier in the Indianapolis 500 car race, it was a custom that
all drivers should have a mechanic along with them in the car
during the race for various reasons. In the 1911 Indianapolis
race, Ray Harroun, a racer, could not find a mechanic to ride
with him. So he did something which changed the world of
automotives forever. What did he do?

 Xs were once regularly used in coal mining as an
early warning system. Toxic gases such
as carbon monoxide or methane in the mine
would kill X before affecting the miners. Signs of
distress from X indicated to the miners that
conditions were unsafe. The use of miners' X
in British mines was phased out in 1986.
 The phrase "X in a coal mine" is frequently used
to refer to a person or thing which serves as an
early warning of a coming crisis.

 X was one of a kind, and so was the placement of
his star along Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
 While more than 2,500 brass stars are
embedded in the sidewalk on 15 blocks of
Hollywood Boulevard and several blocks on Vine
Street in Hollywood, X's is the only one that
hangs vertically.
 Who?Why the exception?

 He did not want the name muhammad to be
stepped on

 Billing can be important to an actor's career. Arguably, it's more
important to their ego.The order in which actor's names appear
on a poster might be contested as if it's a matter of life or death.
 To be 'top of the bill' originally meant, literally, that your name is
at the top of the bill – i.e. the poster. Order of billing on a movie
poster reflects an actor's screen time or how central their
character is. Even more so, it's there to show who has the biggest
star status.
 Boeing Boeing is a 1965 American bedroom farce comedy film,
based on the 1960 French play Boeing-Boeing, and starring Jerry
Lewis andTony Curtis. Both Curtis and Lewis wanted top billing.
How was this dispute resolved?

 X is a candy that has been manufactured in the United States since
1907.The founder Leo Hirshfield named the candy after his
daughter Clara, whose nickname gave the name of ”X".
 In the Korean War, during the Battle of Chosin Reservoir in
1950, mortar sections under the United States Marine
Corps started to run out of mortar rounds.The radio men of these
sections started requesting more rounds.There were too many
nearby enemy anti-air emplacements however, and the risk that
they might lose any airlifted supplies was too great, so they had to
wait. After two days of waiting, all the mortar sections ran out of
rounds. At this point they accidentally ordered hundreds of crates
of X candies instead of mortar rounds.This was because some
elements of the United States military had used "X" as code for
mortar rounds.

In the 1920s, "muggles" was U.S. slang for X.
This may explain why members of the U.S.
Wizarding community don't use the term to
mean non-magical people, but call them "no-
maj" instead.
What is X?

American ornithologist X was a Caribbean bird expert
And author of the definitive field guide Birds of theWest
Indies. Y, a keen birdwatcher himself, had a copy of
X’s guide and he later explained to the ornithologist’s
Wife that “It struck me that this brief, unromantic,
Anglo-Saxon and yet very masculine name was just
what I needed.”

Fred Flintstone and George Jetson are
iconic comic characters from the Hanna-
barbera universe. By design, neither has a
visible neck. And it isn’t just them.The same
is true for most Hanna-Barbera characters at
the time.
Take, for example, Yogi Bear (and Boo Boo)
and Huckleberry Hound. Perhaps it’s a
coincidence with Flintstone and
Jetson, but the anthropomorphized bears
And dog?They’re wearing ties for some

 It’s an animation trick designed to save a lot of time and
a lot of
money.
 By breaking the image up into two parts — the head and
the body
—animators could concentrate on animating the
characters’ faces,
which makes sense because the face is the characters’ most
expressive area.There was no need to re-draw the body
each time.
Instead, animators would take a pre-drawn body pose from a
repository of a dozen or so, and match it as best as possible
to get the desired expression.

 Ever since their introduction to the Marvel Universe in
1963, the X-Men have always had to deal with
questions about their humanity. While their enemies
will stop at nothing to cast them as monsters, the
team continues to fight for a world where they are
treated just like humans.
 Of course, that's just a moral on a comic book page; in
the real world, it's in Marvel's best financial interest
that the X-Men not be considered humans. In fact,
Marvel even went to court over it.
 Why?

 The HarmonizedTariff Schedule in U.S. law
distinguished between two types of action figures for
determining tariffs: dolls, which are defined to
include human figures, and toys, which include
"nonhuman creatures".
 Because duties on dolls were higher than those on
toys, Marvel Comics subsidiaryToy Biz argued before
the U.S. Court of InternationalTrade, that their action
figures represented "nonhuman creatures" and were
subject to the lower tariff rates for toys instead of the
higher ones for dolls.The decision effectively halved
the tariff rate, from 12% to 6.8%.

 Twenty years ago, MKU received an order of
10,000 units of mountaineering shoes of sizes

 Despite having a monthly capacity of only 8,000
units, it readily agreed, and completed the order
in time, and has remained a faithful supplier of
the Indian Army since.
 What was the reason for such a specific order
(ideally looking for a collective noun in your
answer), and what event led to it?

 Acetylation is the process of introducing an acetyl group
(CH3CO) to a chemical compound.
 In late 20th century, Felix Hoffman, a Bayer employee,
was looking for a way to ease his father’s pain caused by
Rheumatoid arthritis.
 Hoffman added an acetyl group to Morphine, in hopes of
producing Codeine, but the end result was entirely different.
 What did he invent, by adding an acetyl group to salicylic
acid, consumed by almost all of us?What was the result of
adding the acetyl group to morphine?

 This establishment/exhibit, stylized as MOX on its
website, is curated by Dr. SamuelWest, who has a PhD,

 He says that he was frustrated reading the success
stories, and therefore, decided to establish this, which
has exhibits such as Apple Newton, Sony Betamax,Casio
TV400, and Bic For Her, among others.
 What is the exhibit called?What is the most well
known Google product at the said exhibit?

 Museum of Failure ( Failed Products)
 Google Glass

 Clutch Cargo was an American animated
television series produced by Cambria
Productions beginning on March 9, 1959.The
series was notable for its imaginative stories; it
was a surprise hit at the time.
 Because of budgetary limitations and the
pressure to create television animation within a
tight time frame, the show was the first to
use the "Syncro-Vox" optical printing system.
How was the animation unique?

 Clutch Cargo employed the Syncro-Vox
technique by superimposing live-action
human lips over limited-motion animation.
