Audience QuestionX initially appeared as an unnamed character in a cameo in Avengers #54 (1968), with a first full appearance in Avengers #55 (1968). X was created by writer Roy Thomas and artist John Buscema. Thomas said the idea of the character and his appearance were heavily based on Mechano, an obscure robotic villain who appeared in an issue of the Captain Video comic book. He liked the robot's malicious looking smile, and showed it to Buscema. Common powers of the character include superhuman levels of strength, speed, stamina, durability, and reflexes, flight at subsonic speeds, and various offensive weapons such as concussive blasts of energy fired from its optical sensors.IDX

Question 1The X (also called Grande Valse) is a phrase from a composition for solo guitar, Gran Vals, by the Spanish classical guitarist and composer Francisco Trrega, written in 1902. It has been the icon of former corporation Y since the 1990s, and has become a cult classic. X was first heard briefly for 3 seconds in a Y commercial in 1992.In 1993 Anssi Vanjoki, then Executive Vice President of Y, brought the whole Gran Vals to Lauri Kivinen (then Head of Corporate Communications) and together they selected the excerpt that became Y. The excerpt is taken from measures (bars) 1316 of the piece. In 2010, it was reported that X was heard worldwide an estimated 1.8 billion times per day, about 20,000 times per second.

Question 12At the end of their operational life, there are two ways to dispose a certain object X, recycling being more or less out of question due to various spatial constraints. One is incineration at enormous temperatures, which requires prohibitively high fuel consumption to generate the energy needed, and the other is exile, banishment to a region which has been designated as a junkyard for such objects. Countries with significant numbers of X are increasingly choosing the second path. Although it seems much easier and energy efficient, it could lead to major catastrophe in the coming few decades (centuries?) . What are X?

Question 12Google, in its formative years, had not 6 but 7 characters in its logo; complete with an exclamation mark. But since one of its biggest competitors, Yahoo, also had an exclamation mark in their logo, Google decided to get rid of theirs.Rumour has it that not until three years later, an engineer at Google, while opening Googles homepage, realised there was still something specifically wrong with the logo. And then, the homepage was corrected yet again and is now, as we know it today.(Rather used to know it)What was the second thing that was corrected three years later, which missed the eyes of the homepage designers in the first place after removing the exclamation mark?

Question 19

This is a popular online joke. And it makes sense, to be honest, because when you shut the laptop, its logo does look odd. X's obsession with user satisfaction is un-rivalled to this day. This obsession can be linked to the joke. However, this "problem" was later fixed, when X realized that he was being unrealistic. Whos X and what was the problem?
