QUESTION 12
Newton·s writings suggest that one of his main
goals may have been the discovery of X.
It is said that The English Crown (English
Monarchy) was discouraging works towards thediscovery of X, and also to some extent banned
it.
Some say that Newton deliberately left his work
on X due to this.
But history indicates that origins of X seem to
be in ancient Hinduism. The Yoga V asistha
written between the 10th and 14th century AD,
contains a story about X.

QUESTION 14
X was invented at the Department of Interior Design
at the Academy of Applied Arts and Crafts in
Budapest, Hungary by a sculptor and professor.
It is widely reported that X was built as a teaching
tool to aid students with 3D projects, but this is infact incorrect.
The actual purpose for inventing X was solving the
structural problem of moving the parts
independently without the entire mechanism falling
apart.
´The Gordian Knotµ and ´Inca Goldµ were some of
the initial names considered before marketing X.

QUESTION 15
German physicist Heinrich _____ described X in
1852.However, in 1672, Isaac Newton had
described it and correctly inferred the cause
after observing tennis players in hisCambridge college.
The match ball for the 2010 FIFA World Cup has
been criticized for the different X to previous
match balls. The current ball is described as
having less X and as a result flies further butwith less controllable swerve.

QUESTION 17
X is stronger than steel and comparable in
strength to Kevlar. It is also especially ductile,
able to stretch up to 1.4 times its relaxed length
without breaking; this gives it a very hightoughness (or work to fracture), which equals
that of commercial polyaramid (aromatic nylon)
filaments, which themselves are benchmarks of
modern polymer technology. It can hold its
strength below ï40 °C.So what is this X?

The barreleye has eyes that can rotate
within a transparent, fluid-filled shield
on its head. The eyes point upward when
the fish is looking for food overhead. They point forward when the fish is feeding.
The two spots above the fish·s mouth are
are olfactory organs called nares, which
are analogous to human nostrils.

QUESTION 19
NASA has recently found that gravity also plays
a role in X formation. Modifying the gravity
causes different types of X.
In zero gravity ,such as in outer space , X becomes spherical , blue in colour and also more
efficient.
In normal conditions, such as on earth , X·s
dominant colour changes with temperature.
Give X.

QUESTION 20
D (X is getting repetitive) was the son of a sail
maker. D studied mathematics at Lyon. But
ironically, D was awarded the Nobel Prize in
Chemistry in 1912 jointly with Paul Sabatier for
devising a new method for generating carbon-
carbon bonds which is of high value in organic
synthesis.
The method is an important means of preparing
organic compounds from smaller precursormolecules.

QUESTION 23
Xs sleep with only one
brain hemisphere in slow-wave sleep at a time,
thus maintaining enough consciousness to
breathe and to watch for possible predators and
other threats. Hence when one part of the brain
sleeps , the other part functions.
A recent study , revealed that Xs are the only
animals other than humans that develop a
natural form of type 2 diabetes, which may leadto a better understanding of the disease.

QUESTION 25
In 1917, Einstein applied the General theory of
relativity to model the structure of the universe
as a whole. He included ______ as a term in
his field equations for general relativity because
he was dissatisfied that otherwise his equations
did not allow, apparently, for a static universe.
However, soon after Einstein developed his
static theory, observations by Edwin
Hubble indicated that the universe appears tobe expanding. This led Einstein to declare
________ as the ´biggest blunderµ of his life.
