20. Q10
In 1984, the prize of the NBA Draft was the University of Houston’s Hakeem Olajuwon,
not North Carolina product X. But when X fell to the Y at No. 3, it was one heck of a
consolation prize for then General Manager Rod Thorn.
The consensus was clear that X would be a good NBA player, said Thorn, having been
named the collegiate player of the year twice. But it was the traditional center teams
were looking for, and Olajuwon had the makings of a dominant one.
A coin flip between Houston and Portland determined the Rockets would pick first. After
the Houston Rockets selected Hakeem Olajuwon with the top pick, the Blazers passed
up on X to take University of Kentucky center Sam Bowie second overall.
Hence, X was on the board when the Y were ready to select.
Bowie turned out to be perhaps the biggest bust in NBA history, spending a great deal
of his career on the injured list and never meeting expectations. Whereas for X, he
became a great player.
Give me X and Y.

24. Q12 Give me the 2 words X-Y.
● The exact origins of the use of a X-Y to uses are lost in history,
although there are many theories.
● The most interesting theory of the origins of the X-Y dates back to
the 1800′s after the date of the Louisiana Purchase.
● An early American past-time in the Mid-West settlement included
horse racing. After the races, those in attendance would gather
for lunch or dinner. Often, a table-cloth would be taken and waved
in the air to signal that the food was ready, and the racing should
come to and end.
● The more likely reasoning for the use of X-Y is the contrast of
colors being something easy to see for the racers. Back in the
earlier days of racing, the tracks were dirt roads. Dust and dirt
would kick into the air, making it difficult to see, especially when
moving at high speeds.

35. 17. Lionel Messi

36. Q18 Run Out in that fashion? Then you have
been X'ed!!
As a bowler enters his delivery stride, the non-striking batsman usually
'backs up'. This means he leaves his popping crease and walks towards
the other end of the wicket so that it will take him less time to reach the
other end if he and his batting partner choose to attempt a run.
Sometimes a batsman, whilst backing up, leaves the popping crease
before the bowler has actually delivered the ball. Where this has
happened, the bowler may attempt to run the non-striking batsman out.
Getting a batsman out this way, though legal, is generally considered to
be against the spirit of the game as the non-striker usually accidentally
leaves the crease. The bowler is meant to warn the batsman to stay in his
crease rather than to take his wicket.
X ran out Bill Brown twice in this fashion while bowling in India's Tour of
Australia of 1946/47,which caused a huge controversy and hence anyone
getting out this way was said to X'ed.
X is the name of the a legendary Indian batsman who represented India
from 1946-1959,is best known for his world record setting opening
partnership of 413 runs, with Pankaj Roy, in 1956, a record which stood
for 52 years.
