Q3.

It has been speculated that sailors who often went above and below deck might have needed to keep one eye adjusted to the darkness below decks.The strong sunlight while above deck on an oceangoing vessel could require minutes of adaptation to the dim lighting below deck. With virtually no light sources below deck, sailors would have to rely heavily upon their eyes to adjust. In the critical moments of modifying the rigging, navigating, and especially during battle, those minutes were too precious. This is the reason behind a popular culture happening. What am I talking about ?

Q13.

In 1791 a Dublin theater owner named James Daly made a bet that he couldintroduce a word into the language within twenty-four hours. He then went out and hired a group of street urchins to write the word "X", which was a nonsense word, on walls around the city of Dublin. Within a day, the word was common currency and had acquired a meaning (since no one knew what it meant, everyone thought it was some sort of test) and Daly had some extra cash in his pocket. However, there is no evidence to support the story, and the term was already in use before the alleged bet in 1791.

Q15. The first installment of this video game was released in 1993. While subsequent installments had names such as X-95, X-98, this first installment was not called X-93 but something else.

This product was revolutionary in a sense that it shifted the paradigm of how such products were designed and what technology was used. Over the years, minor and major improvements in quality and appearance have pushed this product to the very top. There has however been stiff competition from at least one another company that makes such a product, and the two rival products have staunch supporters and detractors. While both these companies battle rampant piracy, the former has an advantage over the masses due to its extensive licensing rights that provides users with an original experience.

Which two companies and products am I talking about?

Q17.

The Yiddish word derives from the Hebrew word meaning "insolence", "cheek” or "audacity". The modern English usage of the word has taken on a broader meaning, having been popularized through vernacular use in film, literature, and television. The word is sometimes interpreted—particularly in business parlance as meaning the amount of courage, mettle or ardor that an individual has. In Hebrew, It is used indignantly, to describe someone who has overstepped the boundaries of accepted behaviour. In traditional usage, the word expresses a strong sense of disapproval, condemnation and outrage.

Q25. Back in the day, animation was an artist’s job, and not a computer’s.

Every tiny detail of a cartoon individual had to be drawn painstakingly and meticulously some 30 to 40 thousand times, and omitting some small details or altering them to make things ‘easier to draw’ would not only make cartoonists breathe a sigh of relief but also potentially saved millions of dollars in man hours.

This is the popular explanation bandied about by people when trying to explain a certain characteristic shared by many cartoons (This is the norm rather than the exception even now, when animation is computer dominated). So much so, that in The Simpsons, God is the only character not to share this characteristic.
