MY DAYS IN ILLUMINATI

2010-07-31T01:03:00.005+05:30

NIKHIL ROHILLA
B.A(H)ECONOMICS, FINAL YEAR

Friends…Fun…Experience, Exposure and Excitement….these are the things I got from ILLUMINATI….there’s many subparts to these….a lot of things I couldn’t learned if not joined this society…I just showed a little bit dedication nd received a big pool of knowledge in return…the knowledge you can use anywhere and at any time…

Yes very truly, the enjoyment…the flavor…the objective of joining Hansraj would have been missing if I were not a member of this society…

It doesn’t matter how much good I am or you are at quizzing…but sitting in a quiz is equally exciting for all…not a big thing if I compare the excitement part with a Roller coaster ride…ur blood runs at a speed…swings in ur nerves…I know a person who generally shows these signs;-) ;-)

Ask those poor people who just miss the qualifying cut-off by one or half mark…sometimes you even crack the question which has shaken the minds of Upper-class quizzers…sometimes you give the right ans of a wrong que…you abuse the quizmaster bcuz of many reasons…you praise the quiz when it is good…

One last thing…if the task is to make quiz, I like this…after attending around 150 quizzes in just two yrs I have learnt this quality…but a much risk also attached while making quizzes…and I love that risk factor…
I know, besides all this, there’s a much more to learn and I am happy that I am learning….

MY DAYS IN ILLUMINATI

SHASHANK SHANKER

B.A(H) ECONOMICS, FINAL YEAR

There will be no end, once I start writing about my experience in ILLUMINATI but I would like to share few things with you.

As I was quite fervor about quizzing…it was a joyful thing for me when I came to know that there’s a quizsoc in Hansraj…the day I came to know the same day I became the member this society…

Quizzing at college level is very different from quizzing at school level…It is not just my past time but has become a passion for me…but you have to really work hard for it...reading Wikipedia day and night is not an easy thing to do…

Being a quizzer you must note that you don’t know when you are going to win…that’s why you have to attend each and every quiz…sometimes you win sometimes you don’t…

Besides this quizzing is a regular source of pocket money…you can actually spend more than you what get from ur home…

A myth has attached to evrybody's mind that the studies could hamper if you indulge in any society…but as I said…it is just a Mythm, rather, quizzing gives a positive push to your studies…

At last, a small but worthy suggestion(you will listen this thing frequently)…that it is better not to join a regular college if you don’t want to involve in any extracurricular works…
And if you have a little bit interest in quizzing just join this society…there is always a place for dedicated members in this soc...

No matter how much you know but the thing which counts is how much you want to know. . .that's all quizzing is all about...

Identify X. For the definition of the question in terms of maths, X is a function. So you put something in X it gives out something else. For the answer of the question X is something more tangible.
X(B) = A in the same way as X(D) = C and X(F) = E. X is something related with G. At some point of time it was also something to do with H. It changes to something all together different once a while and surely would once more near the end of (allegedly) our time.

The answer is Allianz Arena.

It turns blue when 1860 Munich play (The Lions.), turns Red when Bayern Munich play (FC Hollywood) and white when the German National Team plays in it. Allianz in India is represented through Bajaj Allianz and the name of the stadium changes to Fifa World Cup Stadium during the FIFA world cup. It name is Football-Arena Munich for UEFA matches. It will host the 2012 UEFA Champions League final.

Identify this person, who, during his time, was responsible for the migration of over 300,000 people. Its often said that an equal number came from both the sea and land from all over the world.

Hint:

Something done on A in B which can have some issues with C. Let that be D. Something that can be said to be the influencing factor for D is E. The background of the main protagonist of E is a very heavy hint for the above person. Identify him.

Completely correct answer given by Kaushik. Quoting him:

"A - Johnny Walker
B - CID
Here CID is the movie, and Johnny walker is Badruddin, who sings - "Yeh hain Bambai Meri Jaan" (D). Bambai can offend (C), Raj Thackrey. Now the song is heavily inspired by the American Ballad "Oh My Darling, Clementine" from the movie "My Darling Clementine"(E), which is based on the California Gold Rush, which in turn, was started by James W. Marshall, the old man in the pic."

(E) was actually intended to be "Oh My Darling, Clementine" only because the protagonist, Clementine, (as stated in the 3rd line of the ballad) is the daughter of a miner, 49er. 49er is a term given specifically to the miners of the California Gold Rush.

Also a rather lame hint was the title of the post. According to Google Translation, Rush when translated to hindi means 'jhaapto'. =P

And Kaushik, thank you for the glowing remarks on the question.

David H. McConnell started X in 1886 without really meaning to. McConnell sold books door-to-door, but to lure in female customers he offered little gifts of perfume.

US Patent 4219945 is an invention by Marion Frank Rudy It relates to a "pressurized gas encapsulated in polyurethane" . If the gas leaks out of the capsule, it goes flat. Therefore, the X design uses a dense gas, so the gas stays inside the capsule. In US Patent 4219945, Mr. Rudy mentions a large number of possible gases, which he describes as "supergases." Generally, the "supergases" are halogenated hydrocarbons, with the exception of sulfur hexafluoride. The patent mentions ethane hexafluoride and sulfur hexafluoride. as being the best two choices. Since "denseness" is proportional to molecular weight, calculations with a periodic table would suggest that the gas is sulfur hexafluoride.
