Question 33

Again, just a piece of info from Wiki turned into a question. Please don't Google, because there is no need to; it's a sitter.

Daood Gilani was born in Washington D.C., where his father, Sayed Salim Gilani, worked for the Voice of America. His Maryland born mother, Serrill Y worked as a secretary at the Pakistan embassy in Washington at the time of his birth and was the daughter of former University of Maryland football star L. X Y. He has a younger sister Syedah, and half-brother Danyal Gilani, who was formerly the spokesperson for the Prime Minister of Pakistan, and presently serves as Pakistan's press attache in Beijing.

His parent's marriage broke in the mid-1960's , and he returned to Pakistan along with his father and sister. There Daood attended a preparatory boy's high school for the military. In 1977, when the Government of Pakistan was overthrown in a coup, he returned to America with his mother and grew up over the bar that his mother owned in Philadelphia. In 1985, he married a Pennsylvania State Universuty student, but got divorced in 1987 due to cultural conflicts. How is he better known today?

Answer:David Headley

Question 32

Warning sign at the border of what?

Answer: Area 51 it is.

Question 31

This book was the third largest bestseller of its time. It influenced a large number of intellectuals and appears by title in many of the major Marxist writings of the day.

It is said and I quote here "It is one of the few books ever published that created almost immediately on its appearance a political mass movement."

The book tells the story of a Julian West, a young American who, towards the end of the 19th century, falls into a deep hypnosis induced sleep and wakes up one hundred and thirteen years later. It is the year 2000, and while he was sleeping, the US has been transformed into a socialist utopia. The remaining of the book outlines Bellamy's thoughts about improving the future.

Major themes in the book are the dangers of the stock market, benefits of a socialist legal system, music, and the use of an "Industrial Army" to make tasks smoother. In the book, Bellamy has also predicted sermons and music being available at home through "cable telephone"

Although Bellamy's book did not discuss technology or the economy in detail, commentators frequently compare the book with actual economic and technological developements, the most important being the first ever mention and introduction of X, by virtue of which all citizens receive equal "credit". For example, those with difficult, dangerous jobs work less hours. A remarkable book considering the time when it was written. Identify both X and The book.

Answer: Looking Backard, in which the term Credit card is first mentioned.

Question 30

Answer: The Red sea, Yellow sea, Black sea and White sea.

Question 29

X was founded in 1796 by a group led by Jebediah X. After misinterpretating a passage in the bible, the group left Maryland, trying to find the "New sodom". After X refused to found a town where men were free to marry their cousins, half of the group left. The dissenters founded Y, named after fellow pioneer Y Manhattan, and the two cities remain rivals to this day. X reached its pinnacle in the mid-20th century, when it became the home of the world's first Aquacar factory, one half of the country was said to wear X galoshes and X's streets were literally paved with gold. The city's prosperity faded; a Time cover story on X called it "America's Worst City" and Newsweek called the city "America's Crud Bucket"

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.
