Q1.

For more than a decade, X remained a magical figure in cricket trump cards — anextremely popular card-game among kids. A hushed giggle would appear on one ofthe faces seeing a card with Y flashing past point. This would invariably mean anopportunity to challenge the peers over the highest individual ODI score. And fortheir competitors there wasn’t a scope for any other reaction but to concedehandful of points. Such was the mammoth record of Y that his achievementappeared unconquerable for more than a decade.

However, in a span of two years, the record was smashed twice and equaledonce. Without much doubt one would only imagine an experienced andaccomplished batsman to play such a marathon innings. The record books willperhaps be amused at the presence of a certain Z alongside Y, Sachin Tendulkar andVirender Sehwag among the highest individual scores in One-Day Internationals.

Give me X and Z.

Q9.Aug 14, 2014 :The club captain jested that the forward was fortunate that the Bavarians did not stage a comeback in the DFL-Supercup and was thrilled with how his final game as captain went

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would have been "beaten up" by his Borussia Dortmund team-mates for his X if they had not triumphed over Bayern Munich, club veteran Sebastian Kehl has joked.

Although his goal celebration at Signal Iduna Park was largely seen as amusing, Kehl conceded it would have been awkward if the Bavarians fought back to beat BVB.

"That was a funny celebration by Aubameyang," Kehl told Ruhr Nachrichten after the win. "I did not know he had his ____ ready to pull out if he scored.

"It's lucky for him that we won, though - we would have beaten him up after the game otherwise!“

Lucha libre is a term used in Mexico, and other Spanish-speaking countries, for a form of professional wrestling .Although the term nowadays refers exclusively to professional wrestling, it was originally used in the same style as the English term freestyle wrestling.

X is an American-Canadian animated television series produced by Warner Bros. Animation. It is the first animated television series created with Adobe Flash, a program often used for Internet cartoons.

The show was also seen on Teletoon in Canada, CITV and Kix! in the UK, and Cartoon Network worldwide (including the US).

The show is set in a fictional Mexican town centered on lucha libre (nearly everyone in the town has a mask and costume and a signature move) and is essentially about the adventures of three children, Rikochet, The Flea and Buena Girl, as they struggle through the Foremost World-Renowned International School of Lucha, where they study.

*Q19.

It’s well established that X Y has a fear of flying. So it should be no surprise then that when the Z giant sat down with Trip Hawkins and Joe Ybarra of Electronic Arts in 1984 to discuss what would become X Y Z, the conversation took place on a train traveling from Denver to Oakland.

EA founder Hawkins, an avid Strat-O-Matic Z player, had long wanted to make a realistic Z game for computers. With the recent success of the Apple II and other mass market hardware, there was finally a platform that could make that dream a reality. But in order to truly achieve a realistic game, Hawkins wanted a Z mind on his team. He wanted X Y.

The game was in development for four years, largely because of legal trouble with Bethesda Softworks, a company that had made a similar Z sim and was at one point under contract with EA to help develop the X Y game. When that didn’t pan out, the companies parted ways and EA released X Y Z on its own in 1988. It did indeed feature 22 players on the screen, but it also suffered from slow performance and a limited feature set as a result.

Part Points for Z and X Y.
