Trivia Titans 7

Q.1: X is a comic book series published in 2014 criticised to be a series full of false info about Y's childhood & thereby trying to play with children's minds and forcing their propaganda on children and making a glorified mental image towards the person.

The picture given is a portion of the cover for X. In this story the brave and young Y helped a crocodile baby after he shot a sixer and injured the baby as the ball hit it in the pond. In another story Y is shown as an honest boy who
helped his principal catch the bullies and get them reported in school.

Give X.


Q.2: BRZRKR is a comic book series created and
written by a certain celebrity and Matt Kindt.
The comic follows an immortal warrior, known
as Berzerker, as he fights his way through the
ages.

Released in March of 2021, it has also been
picked up by Netflix to be developed into a
live-action series along with an anime
adaptation.

Identify said celebrity



Q.3: This player is an NBA star who plays for the Milwaukee Bucks. In 2022, WhatsApp announced a 12-minute short film which will depict various moments from his life. The player talks about the stories he was told when he was a child about "travellers battling the sea, fighting to find their way home,
and to find themselves."

The name of the short film is inspired by the duality of nationality faced by
the player, named Naija _______.

Fill in the blanks.


Q.4: The biblical character Jacob, son of Isaac, grandson of Abraham was said to have been approached by a mysterious angel who engaged him in a wrestling match. Upon spending the entire night wrestling without either one besting another, Jacob demanded a blessing. The angel's blessing granted Jacob a new name, meaning one who has struggled with a divine angel, or one who has prevailed with God. Jacob's new name was carried on by his 12 sons who settled in Egypt, eventually being led out to a new land named after Jacob’s given name.

What was Jacob’s new name?

Q.5: Inspired by the pattern of its plumage, this pheasant was named the Great X as a reference to a character of Greek mythology. What is the bird called?

Q.6: Nicholas X was said to have been one of the most loyal soldiers in Napoleon’s Grande Armée. Long after the Napoleonic Wars concluded with the fall of Napoleon’s empire, X supposedly remained an absurdly staunch Bonapartist nationalist, loudly touting his blind and zealous devotion to the cause for the rest of his life. However, there are still conflicts if X really existed or was a mere character to showcase patriotism.

The word Y hence took its origin from X.

Id X and Y

Q.7: The origins of a certain phrase, meaning to have good manners, or to be one's best behaviour, or to watch what one is doing continues to be hotly contested. One theory states its comes from the confusion between two similar elements in schoolwork or typing. Another similar theory comes from the act of learning one of the most fundamental elements of written English. 

Yet another comes from the alleged abbreviation of two common word/phrases used in order to sound more polite. And yet another theory suggests its origin from advice given to bartenders to not confuse the two units alcohol is usually discussed in.

What is being talked about?
Answers:
1. Bal Narendra ( based on the childhood of Narendra Modi)
2. Keanu Reeves
3. Odyssey
4. Israel
5. Argus
6. Chauvin, Chauvinism
7. Mind Your P's (pints) and Q's (quarts)

Q.1 :  What subculture’s origin is explained below: In the 1970s, Japan introduced mechanical pencils which provided fine handwriting. As a result, girls started to develop excessively sweet handwriting & drawings, which eventually got banned from schools due to illegibility. These drawings made their way onto magazines, make-up etc. What most people don’t realize is that it was a way for girls to express themselves in their own way, and rebel against traditional culture (often seen as boring & oppressive). Similarly, girls would dress in offbeat styles to express their feelings. Q.2 : First products of which companies ? A. Wooden toy ducks  B. Toilet paper Q.3 : Contrary to popular belief, the phrase X does not have its origin in any sport. Rather, it comes from fighter pilots who exhaust their whole ammunition belt, giving everything they have. Which phrase? Q.4 : A House for Mr. Biswas is a 1961 novel by V.S. Naipaul. The novel was later adapted as a stage musical, with comp

Q.1 : In March 2021, when the Bert/Ernie debate was raging, a twitter user pointed out that X & Y were right there, throwing shade from a box seat at the theatre. In fact, he wrote a fanfiction account of their backstory which made Twitter users quite emotional. But is it fanfiction? As per the Muppets Wiki, Z is Y’s appropriately-named wife, but she has made only one appearance on the show. Moreover, it’s quite apparent that she is simply X in a dress! Identify X, Y, and Z Q.2 : An effect of popular media is that it creates a common perception of history that might/not be entirely true. For example, we have a perception that Victorian-era London did not have any colored residents, but it was common for sailors to pick up crew from South Asia and bring them back to England. Similarly, in the 12th Century, girls born on the Feast of Epiphany were given the name X . The name has seen a resurgence in modern times, so whenever we come across it in media which is set in medieval ti

  Q.1: X  is claimed to have constructed an unmanned, heavier-than-air aircraft, named Marutsakhā ("friend of the air"), and flown it above Bombay's Chowpatty Beach in 1895. Contemporary accounts of a successful flight do not exist, and no reliable historical records document its existence.  X's  aircraft was reputed to have flown to a height of 1,500 feet (460 m). Pratap Velkar, a local architect who has researched  X's  life and written a book about him, denies this, stating that it rose to a small height before crashing. The aircraft has been described as a cylinder of bamboo, with claims it used mercury as a fuel. Identify  X . Q.2 : The  X  Scandal was a sex scandal involving U.S. President Bill Clinton and a White House intern named X. Their affair began in 1995, when Clinton was 49 and X was 22, and lasted for 18 months.
