• He had an Eidetic memory
• Y might have had OCD.
• Y became a proponent of an selective breeding version of eugenics
Give me X and Y.

Benjamin Franklin, in a letter writes -
‘…I imagine it will be found pretty generally true, that the same Convexity of Glass through which a Man sees clearest and best at the Distance proper for Reading, is not the best for greater Distances. Therefore, I had formerly two Pair of Spectacles, which I shifted occasionally, as in travelling, I sometimes read. This was a cause of trouble…’
What did Franklin invent to overcome the ‘trouble’?

While the initial price for this at its IPO is an interesting stat in itself, there is more to the story. The opening price was $85 per share. At the time of writing, the price was $483 but has soared as high as $600 in the past year. The company hope to raise from the public $2,718,281,828. Why does this feature on a science quiz?

X’s most important scientific contribution may be his idea that geostationary satellites would be ideal telecommunications relays. He described this concept in a paper titled Extra-Terrestrial Relays — Can Rocket Stations Give Worldwide Radio Coverage?, published in 1945. The geostationary orbit is now sometimes known as the X Orbit or the X Belt in his honor. Who is X?

Patients suffering from a rupture of the biceps tendon may develop a bulge in their arm. This is the retracted muscle bunched up in the arm, and is sometimes referred to as a ‘_________ muscle’ in medical circles because the muscle is more prominent than normal. FITB.

It was often thought that X shed Y that slid down into their mouths, moistening their food and making it easier for them to swallow. Y appears to be an expression of emotion but is in fact a means to make food easier to swallow (possibly the observer). This gave rise to the common phrase XY. Give XY

The jackets had buttons made of Tin. Due to low temperature, this tin was transformed into another allotrope of tin which is very brittle. The buttons therefore wore away and the jackets became redundant.
