Answers are to be sent via mail to: gerleo.nimalan@gmail.com on or

before July 10. Make sure you type your name, class, school/college and place in

the mail. If you win, you'll be asked to give your phone number for the prize.

Even if I ask you to not use Google, you are going to use it nevertheless. Anyway,

hoping you’ll obey: DON’T USE GOOGLE!!!

Spelling mistakes are tolerable. To a certain extent. But if the answer is Rahman and

you send me Raman, I’ll be thinking of the scientist CV and not the musician AR. You can’t argue that it was a spelling mistake,

then.

Stick to a single word. Or two words at maximum if it’s a name or something.

Unless rare cases of ‘Put funda’ are asked. For connect questions, don’t send in

paragraphs. Sentences are cuter.

I thought What? Just four rules for an online quiz? And so, this is the fifth dummy rule: Following people will be given preference: Deepika Padukone, Scarlett Johansonn (who's

in the blog's header image), Kriti Sanon, Shraddha Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Angelina Jolie, Emma Stone,

Amanda Seyfried, Megan Fox, Katherine Heigl, Drew Barrymore, Rebecca Hall, Kiera Knightley, Sonam Kapoor,

Nazriya Nazim and some others.

What is this the reason for?

After Von Laue's pioneering research, the field of crystallography developed rapidly, most

notably by physicists William Lawrence Bragg and his father William Henry Bragg. In

1912–1913, the younger Bragg developed Bragg's law, which connects the

observed scattering with reflections from evenly spaced planes within the crystal.

The Braggs, father and son, shared the 1915 Nobel Prize in Physics for their work in crystallography. The earliest structures

were generally simple and marked by one-dimensional symmetry. However, as computational and experimental

methods improved over the next decades, it became feasible to deduce reliable atomic positions for more complicated two- and

three-dimensional arrangements of atoms in the unit-cell.

The potential of X-ray crystallography for determining the structure of molecules and minerals—then only known vaguely

from chemical and hydrodynamic experiments—was realized immediately. The earliest structures were simple inorganic

crystals and minerals, but even these revealed fundamental laws of physics and chemistry. The first atomic-resolution structure to

be "solved" (i.e., determined) in 1914 was that of table salt.

6 X? Y? Z?

One of President Nixon's speechwriters, Bill Safire, had prepared an address titled 'In The Event of X Disaster'. It went thus:

Fate has ordained that the men who went to the X to explore in peace will stay to rest in peace. These brave men, Y and Z, know that there is no hope for their recovery. But they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice.These two men are laying down their lives in mankind's most noble goal: the search for truth and understanding.They will be mourned by their families and friends; they will be mourned by their nation; they will be mourned by the people of the world; they will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown.

In their exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in their sacrifice, they bind more tightly the brotherhood of man.In ancient days, men looked at stars and saw their heroes in the constellations. In modern times, we do much the same, but our heroes are epic men of flesh and blood.Others will follow, and surely find their way home. Man's search will not be denied. But these men were the first, and they will remain the foremost in our hearts.' If the launch from the X had failed, Houston was to close down communications and leave Y and Z to their death. Give me X, Y and Z.

This is Eric Lafforgue,

a photographer.

The photograph in the next slide was shot by him. It is of a dance form in Kerala

called Theyyam / Theyyom. Why has this photo been in the Tamil film world news

recently / what has this photo supposedly inspired?

X toning is a specialized treatment to give a black-and-white photographic print a warmer tone and to enhance its archival qualities. Chemicals are used to convert the metallic silver in the print to a sulfide compound, which is much more resistant to the effects of environmental pollutants such as atmospheric sulfur compounds. Silver sulfide is at least 50% more stable than silver.

There are three types of X toner in modern use:1. Sodium sulfide toners - the traditional 'rotten egg' toner;2. Thiourea (or 'thiocarbamide') toners - these are odorless and the tone can be varied according to the chemical mixture;3. Polysulfide or 'direct' toners - these do not require a bleaching stage.

From here, the connect questions take over. I'm assuming you Googled each and every one of the questions above, so, I'm

putting 5 connect questions now.

Who knows, you may Google them too. :D But, what I need is the CONNECTION. Limit

answers to a sentence or two, please.
