Question 53:An Impressive Resume

A textual long (google-able) factual question after a long time(This is not the kind that I would sponsor). The title is a paradox coz this guy dosen't need a job as becomes clear herein:

[sic] X is a United Kingdom born German businessman. X was the group Chief Executive of Y between January, 2010 and 9 September 2011

Born in London, X was raised in London, Bonn and Athens. His father was a German diplomat. X holds degrees in Economics from Bonn University, and in Aviation and Space Technology from Munich University of Technology.

On graduation in 1982, X joined McKinsey as a consultant in Munich

In 1986, he joined A where he held various leadership positions before becoming Managing Director of A's South Africa sector in 1996, and the board member responsible for all vehicle development projects in 1999.

In April 2001, X was appointed Chairman and Managing Director of B. 

In June 2004 he then became President of Z Europe, based in Zurich, Switzerland, as well as Chairman of the B Supervisory Board. Since April 2005 he also has been Chairman of C. On 1 January, 2006, he was additionally appointed Z's Vice President and a member of the Z Automotive Strategy Board, and took over the role as the senior-ranking executive for Z’s activities in Europe.

In November 2009, Z announced that it would retain ownership of its B subsidiary. X commented about Z’s decision not to sell the units to a certain company and in November 2009 Z confirmed that X would be leaving all positions with Z globally.

In 2010 Y announced that X has been appointed as the group CEO with overall responsibility for Y globally

Following a suprise announcement in September, 2011 it was revealed that X would step down from his group CEO role due to 'unavoidable personal circumstances'. However, he remains on the Y board of directors in a non-Executive capacity. Identify this person X who is in the news.

The points allotted depend on how many elements you can guess, although If you get one, the rest should be pretty easy.

Question 49:American Icons Part II

Please connect the images below to a legendary figure remembered widely today for a number of significant reasons...too many clues in the pics...some are too direct while some lead you to this person indirectly.

Question 48:American Icons Part I

The Ist pic relates to the 2nd as the 3rd relates to the 4th...Identify,connect and put funda

Question 37

Very Important: A new question has been posted BEFORE this question. Do check it out.

Because I have nothing better to post right now:(It is impossible to view the pic clearly like this, so click to enlarge)Read carefully.

What is this all about?

Question 26:Hue and cry

People with red-green colour blindness have difficulty discriminating red and green hues. There are various forms of this condition such as:

Protanopia:Lacking the long wavelength sensitive rental cones, those with this condition are unable to distinguish between colours in the green-yellow-red section of the spectrum. They have a neutral point at greenish wavelength around 492 nm, which means that they cannot discriminate light of this wavelength from white. For the protanope, brightness of the red, yellow, orange colours is much reduced as compared to normal brightness. The dimming can be so pronounced that reds can be confused with black or dark gray, and red traffic lights appear to be extinguished. Violet, lavender, purple are indistinguishable from blue because their reddish components are so dimmed that they are invisible.

For example, pink flowers, reflecting both red and blue light appear just blue to a protanope. Unilateral dichromats report that with only their protanopic eye open, they see wavelengths below neutral points as blue and wavelengths above neutral points as yellow.

Another form is deuteranopia, where people, lacking the medium wavelength sensitive rental cones, suffer from the same hue discrimination problems, but without the abnormal dimming. Some other forms are protanomaly and deuteranomaly.

So after all this hue and cry, just connect the text (after reading it carefully) to the pic.

P.S. People who are bored and tired of reading the entire text, just read the first line. That should be enough.

Answer: Yes, Zuckerberg has Red-Green colour blindness, which results in Facebook's most prominent colour being Blue.

Question 25

Identify these two men.

Answer:Balaji and Venkateswara rao of Venky's, the new owners of the Blackburn rovers.

Question 12

Just connect

Answer:Facebook

Question 8:Connect

X's law describes a long-term trend in the history of computing hardware. The number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit has doubled approximately every two years.The trend has continued for more than half a century and is not expected to stop until 2015 or later.
The capabilities of many digital electronic devices are strongly linked to X'slaw: processing speed, memory capacity, sensors and even the number and size of pixels in digital cameras. All of these are improving at (roughly) exponential rates as well.This has dramatically increased the usefulness of digital electronics in nearly every segment of the world economy.X's law precisely describes a driving force of technological and social change in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Answer:Moore's law,named after Gordon moore,Intel's co-founder

Question 3

X's history starts in 1865 when mining engineer Fredrik Idestam established a groundwood pulp mill on the banks of the Tammerkoski rapids in the town of Tampere, and started manufacturing paper.In 1868, Idestam built a second mill near the town of X, fifteen kilometres (nine miles) west of Tampere by the X-nvirta river, which had better resources for hydropower production.In 1871, Idestam, with the help of his close friend statesman Leo Mechelin, renamed and transformed his firm into a share company, thereby founding the X Company, the name it is still known by today.X?

Answer:Nokia.Went uncracked!
