4. • X lodged an enquiry with the Supreme Court of Florida over
a ‘quickie’ name change, which would then be changed
back after the tournament concludes.
• The idea, a publicity stunt for her outside business venture
of branded candy, will reportedly also involve her sporting
the ‘Y’ emblem – a striking pair of red lips – on her attire.
• The quite bizarre marketing move by X and her
management company IMG looks likely to go ahead, too:
there are no apparent legal barriers standing in her way.
• Though the idea was eventually cancelled citing lengthy
procedure.
8. • “X" originated with miners, who needed to warn
their fellows that a charge had been set.
• The first cannons developed were discharged,
shot or exploded by placing a flaming torch to a
small hole packed with gunpowder and leading to
the main powder charge. This caused the main
charge to explode, propelling the cannon ball to
the enemy, or sometimes, blowing up the cannon
and all standing nearby.
• Hence, X was both a command to the torch man,
and a warning to all around.
10. • Y is a dystopian novel by X published in 1953. It is regarded
as one of his best works. The novel presents a future
American society where books are outlawed and "firemen"
burn any that are found. The title refers to the temperature
that X understood to be the auto ignition point of paper
• X's early life witnessed the Golden Age of Radio while the
transition to the Golden Age of Television began right
around the time he started to work on the stories that
would eventually lead to Y. X saw these forms of media as a
threat to the reading of books, indeed as a threat
to society as they act as a distraction from important
affairs.

16. • The HBO X has become iconic. And well it might.
It's a terrific design, and it has served the show
very well...everyone knows it. I love it. I have all
those replicas right here, sitting on my shelve.
And yet, and yet... it's still not right. It's not the X
I want my readers to see.
• The way the X is described in the books...
HUGE, hulking, black and twisted, with the steep
iron stairs in front,... my X is a hunched beast
looming over the X room, ugly and asymmetric..

20. • The title derives from Miranda's speech in William
Shakespeare's The Tempest, Act V, Scene I:
• “O wonder!
How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is! X,
That has such people in it.”

time, Y sought to provide a frightening vision of the future.
. An early trip to the United States gave X much of its
character. Not only was Y outraged by the culture of youth,
commercial cheeriness, sexual promiscuity and the inward-
looking nature of many Americans which were central in
the novel.
