Antirrhinum(image) is a genus of
plants commonly known as X because
of the flowers' fancied resemblance to
the face of a ________that opens and
closes its mouth when laterally
squeezed.
What is this plant's more common
name that might remind you of a
product by Qualcomm that was
named such because it sounded
"fast and fierce"?
https://www.instagram.com/manthanquizsoc/
1.) Identify X.
MANTHAN
https://www.instagram.com/manthanquizsoc/
2.) What term are we referring to?
The term is of obscure origin. A popular theory
holds that it comes from the position of
ballparks in relation to the sun. Supposedly, late
19th-century ballparks were laid out so that the
pitcher looked in a westerly direction when
facing the batter and the relative direction of
the arm of some pitchers gave rise to the term.
What term used for a certain kind of athlete,
primarily used in boxing, but also used in other
sports and otherwise
MANTHAN
MANTHAN
The name of this beverage literally
means "small hood" in Italian. But the
drink does not get its name from the
hood but the colour of the hooded
robes worn by monks and nuns of a
particular order (image). This colour
itself got the name from these hoods
and in turn lent that name to the
beverage.

3.) What beverage are we talking about?
MANTHAN
The author X is well known for his love of music. A former jazz
bar owner, he has more than 10,000 LPs in his collection, runs
his own radio show, and has even collaborated on a book
solely about music. "I almost always work listening to music,"
he has said.
Unsurprisingly, music plays a big role in his books. His
characters always seem to be listening to something and the
songs mentioned often provide cryptic clues to untangling his
famously complex plots. Even the titles of some of his novels
have been inspired by music, but as with everything in the X
universe, they're not always as obvious as they may appear.

4.) Identify X.
MANTHAN
The marble slab that was eventually turned into X by Y in 1504
was cut 43 years earlier for an artist named Agostino di Duccio,
who planned to turn it into a statue of Hercules. Di Duccio
abandoned his sculpture, which was originally to be installed in
a Florentine cathedral, and the marble was unused for 10 years
until another sculptor, named Antonio Rossellino, decided to
work with it. Rossellino also abandoned his work because he
found marble too difficult to sculpt, and eventually Y began
work on his sculpture in 1501.

Eminem's 2013 music video for the song "Rap God"
incorporates imagery inspired by Dante's Purgatorio,
featuring a depiction of a figure represented as a spider.
X, symbolizes the rappers who attempt to rival the self-
proclaimed "Rap God," much like X challenged the goddess
Athena in a weaving competition and was transformed into
the first spider as punishment. This metaphor draws a
parallel between X's futile challenge against a deity and the
futility of competing with Eminem's superior lyrical prowess
and dominance in the rap world. Through this imagery,
Eminem reinforces his claim to an untouchable status in the
genre.

In medieval England there were laws that related the price of bread to the price of the

Even with careful planning it is difficult to ensure that all of your baked goods come out
the same size; there may be fluctuations in rising and baking and air content, and many
of these bakers didn’t even have scales to weigh their dough. This gave rise to a very
