3.X refers to the principal leaders of the Latin American wars of independence from Spain and Portugal. They are named that way in contrast with the Conquistadors, who were so far the only Spanish/Portuguese peoples recorded in the South American history. They were largely bourgeois influenced by liberalism and in most cases with military training in the mother country. Some popular ones include Simon Bolivar, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla and Francisco de Miranda. How do we know X in a different context?

AnswerX- Libertadores

7.X and Y had a testy relationship. After Y hit a jumper over X, he threw an elbow into Xs back. X pursued the jesting Y down the court, finally getting ahold of Y and throwing a solid punch into his chin. Y actually ranks ahead of X on the all-time lists of games and minutes played. Isiah Thomas said Y clearly hasn't been given enough credit, you look at the Washington team and you look at our team. Everything that X was trying to do with Washington, Y has done with his young team. You've got X try to set an example, teach the young kids how to play, get them to the next level, so forth and so on. Y wasn't trying to do that; Y has done that. Clearly, he's not the type of athlete or player that X was, but when you go down the line, after X at the two spot, it's been Y. Which iconic rivalry are we talking about?

8.X are athletic competitions held in honor of a recently deceased person.

The Iliad describes the funeral games held by Achilles in honor of Patroclus, and a similar competition was attributed by Virgil to Aeneas, who held games on the anniversary of his father's death.

Many of the contests were similar to those held at the Olympic Games, and scholars see the origins of Olympics in these earlier X

Aonachs or Funeral Games.

9.The Romans called it Naumachia. The Romans would fill an amphitheater with water, throw in some ships and watch them fight. The battles were typically selected from some of the most famous engagements in history. Participants numbered into the thousands, nearly as large as the real battles themselves.

Naval warfare in Ancient Rome also featured a lot of flamethrowers armed with a type of napalm called Greek Fire, which combusted the instant it contacted oxygen. So, with the waters red with blood and thick with bloated corpses, you were also likely to see a few thousand would-be sailors get burned alive as well.

This gory sport inspired a rather tame two player guessing-game which has been published as a pen and paper game by various companies in the 1930s.

Battleship

10.A first round pick in the MLB draft by the Mets, X's playing career failed to meet the expectations of the scouts, who projected him as a star. In his front office career, X has applied statistical analysis (known as sabermetrics) to players during his time as the coach of the Oakland Athletics, which has led all teams to reconsider how they evaluate players.

11.How did a ridiculous word like Soccer replace a perfectly good word for the sport in America ?

AnswerThey formed the rules for Association Football, with the word Association distinguishing it from the many other types of football sports in existence in England, such as Rugby Football.

Now British school boys of the day liked to nickname everything, which is still somewhat common. They also liked to add the ending er to these nicknames. Thus Rugby was, at that time, popularly called Rugger. Association Football was then much better known as Assoccer, which quickly just became Soccer.

The game gradually spread throughout the world under the lower class name of Football, rather than Soccer as the gentlemen called it. The problem was, though, that a lot of other countries of the world already had popular sports of their own they called Football, such as the United States, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa, to name a few. In these countries, the name Soccer was and, in some, still is preferred for this reason.

4.The X-Y Variation is a chess opening, usually considered a branch of the Vienna Game, but can also be reached from the Bishop's Opening. The opening involves many complications; however, with accurate play the opening is very playable for both sides. The variation was given its name by Tim Harding in his 1976 book on the Vienna Game, in which he said that the bloodthirstiness of the character of play was such that "a game between X and Y would not seem out of place." The line is seen extremely infrequently in top-level play, mainly because the Vienna Game is seen so little at top-level play. Ivanchuk used the opening against Viswanathan Anand in Roquebrune in 1992 in a game that ended as a draw. Identify X and YPicture on next slide.
