3. The first documented use of the word X
dates back to 1916, when it was used to
describe performers who were known for doing
crazy things like biting the heads of various
small live animals or eating live insects and
the like. These performances were thus known
as “X shows”.
This word itself came from a Low German word
that meant a freak or a simpleton. Identify X.

5. As scary as it sounds, being buried alive was
once a common occurrence. People who
feared succumbing to such a fate were buried
in special coffins that were connected to bells
or chimes above the ground. At night, guards
listened for any noise in case they had to dig
up a living person.
Which modern day English phrase has its
origin from this rather unusual practice?
![Page 7: lSD Facha Lit Week Quiz 1 Prelims_24.06.2015](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55cc122ebb61eb84648b47e6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

last line of a Chinese poem written during the
time of the Song dynasty. The line goes as

in the crowd, suddenly turning back, she is
there in the dimmest candlelight.”
X literally means “hundreds of times” and
represents the persistent search for the ideal.
What is X?
![Page 8: lSD Facha Lit Week Quiz 1 Prelims_24.06.2015](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55cc122ebb61eb84648b47e6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

the 13th or 14th century by traders from
the Middle East.
What is being talked about here?

Mexico, believe that X heals worshipers. They

taking a medicine.
Identify X.
![Page 10: lSD Facha Lit Week Quiz 1 Prelims_24.06.2015](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55cc122ebb61eb84648b47e6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
9. Before the days of trains or cars, port cities

creating a path for them to follow. In today’s
times, before any type of business
arrangement, it is now customary to __________
before beginning a project. Fill in the blank and
complete this phrase that has its origins from
the names of these ships.
![Page 11: lSD Facha Lit Week Quiz 1 Prelims_24.06.2015](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55cc122ebb61eb84648b47e6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
10. In his article “Celluloid City” on the makings of the
movie industry in Chennai, Theodore Bhaskaran writes
“Vincent Swamikannu, a railway draftsman from
Tiruchirapalli, was one of the earliest travelling exhibitors
in 1905. He showed short movies in a tent in Esplanade,
near Parry’s Corner, using carbide jet-burners for
projection, later importing equipment from Pathe. “
Movies of that time were short, silent films of 15 minutes
each. After each movie, there were breaks with
entertainment side-shows such as boxing bouts, magic
shows, gymnastics for another 30-60 minutes before the
next movie viewing. Apart from the fact that these side-
shows generated revenue, what constraint of that time
mandated the necessity to host these shows?
![Page 12: lSD Facha Lit Week Quiz 1 Prelims_24.06.2015](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55cc122ebb61eb84648b47e6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
11. What administrative position takes its name
from the fact that the individual is supposed to
manage the voting in a fair manner, ensure
impartial counting and give back/submit the
winning candidate’s name to the Election
Commission?
![Page 13: lSD Facha Lit Week Quiz 1 Prelims_24.06.2015](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55cc122ebb61eb84648b47e6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
12. Greek physicians and medical tricksters were
often shown as putting goats and horses to sleep
within a matter of minutes by applying pressure on
this vessel, and then revive the subject by releasing
pressure. This was because both horses and goats
depend entirely on this vessel for cerebral blood,
due to insufficient vertebral blood channels.
What blood vessel, that derives its name from the
ancient Greek root karoun meaning
“sleep/drowsiness”?
![Page 14: lSD Facha Lit Week Quiz 1 Prelims_24.06.2015](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55cc122ebb61eb84648b47e6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
13. J&K CM Omar Abdullah recently commented on the
purpose of this ubiquitous government office artifact
asking “Are the _____ not clean? Do they have stains?”
By one account, it was a hand me down from WWII days
when British soldiers or American GIs had it in their
cars, while others say it was used by British colonials in
the Raj who couldn’t handle the sub-continental
climate.
A third theory has it that it’s an invisible screen that
separates the ruler from the ruled, a new identity maker
in the strict hierarchy of Indian power politics, but
protocol lists for officials show no sign of what size or
colour it should be or how much it should weigh.
What are we talking about?
![Page 15: lSD Facha Lit Week Quiz 1 Prelims_24.06.2015](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55cc122ebb61eb84648b47e6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
14. During the American Civil War, Abraham Lincoln’s navy
blockaded New Orleans and the Mississippi and Manchester’s
looms came to a halt, sending cotton prices shooting.
The Gujarati merchants on Dalal Street made fortunes during
this time of uncertainty. These early globalizers worked late
into the night when rates were wired in and orders wired out
at American and European times.
However, by this time everyone would be quite tired and the
wives would be asleep at home. What cultural mainstay, with
the help of some Portuguese Jesuit settler of Bombay,
resulted in order to satisfy these traders’ needs ?
![Page 16: lSD Facha Lit Week Quiz 1 Prelims_24.06.2015](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062420/55cc122ebb61eb84648b47e6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
15. The book Eat Pray Love is divided into X number
of chapters [specifically X+1 if you include the

chapters are symbolic reference to an object that is
familiar to most of us in India. Identify X, and the
object.

17. There was a 3 minute hoax report broadcast
on April Fools’ Day 1957 by the BBC current-affairs
program Panorama, purportedly showing a family
in southern Switzerland harvesting X from their
family tree. At the time, X and its method of
preparation was relatively little-known in the UK. A
number of viewers afterwards contacted the BBC
for advice on growing their own X trees. Decades
later, CNN called this broadcast “the biggest hoax
that any reputable news establishment ever
pulled.” Identify X.

13. J&K CM Omar Abdullah recently commented on the
purpose of this ubiquitous government office artifact
asking “Are the _____ not clean? Do they have stains?”
By one account, it was a hand me down from WWII days
when British soldiers or American GIs had it in their
cars, while others say it was used by British colonials in
the Raj who couldn’t handle the sub-continental
climate.
A third theory has it that it’s an invisible screen that
separates the ruler from the ruled, a new identity maker
in the strict hierarchy of Indian power politics, but
protocol lists for officials show no sign of what size or
colour it should be or how much it should weigh.
What are we talking about?

14. During the American Civil War, Abraham Lincoln’s navy
blockaded New Orleans and the Mississippi and Manchester’s
looms came to a halt, sending cotton prices shooting.
The Gujarati merchants on Dalal Street made fortunes during
this time of uncertainty. These early globalizers worked late
into the night when rates were wired in and orders wired out
at American and European times.
However, by this time everyone would be quite tired and the
wives would be asleep at home. What cultural mainstay, with
the help of some Portuguese Jesuit settler of Bombay,
resulted in order to satisfy these traders’ needs ?

17. There was a 3 minute hoax report broadcast
on April Fools’ Day 1957 by the BBC current-affairs
program Panorama, purportedly showing a family
in southern Switzerland harvesting X from their
family tree. At the time, X and its method of

number of viewers afterwards contacted the BBC

later, CNN called this broadcast “the biggest hoax
that any reputable news establishment ever
pulled.” Identify X.

Answer
VK Krishna Menon, diplomat and the much
reviled Defence Minister during the Sino-
Indian War of 1962. “ Toy Car” refers to
Nehru’s faith in him "Menon is like a toy car
….Nehru sets its pace by winding it and
watching it go around. Whenever the car
comes to an obstacle, Nehru removes the
obstacle from its path and rewinds it."
