52. The Nevada Constitution was created in 1864 at a convention on July 4
in Carson City. The convention adjourned on July 28, was approved by
public vote on the 1st Wednesday in September, and became effective
on October 31, when on that date President Abraham Lincoln declared
Nevada to be a state.
Nevada's entry into full statehood in the United States was expedited.
Union sympathizers were so eager to gain statehood for Nevada that
they did something crazy* to ensure the constitution reached before
election day, as they did not believe that sending it by train would
guarantee that it would arrive on time. This way it just took them two
days and cost $4303.27. The constitution reached two weeks before
the presidential election on November 7th . What was the crazy thing
they did??
*according to QM. Craziness is subjective

53. Telegraphed the Entire
Constitution!!!

54. • X was formed in 1997 by founding members, Ian
Jones (bass/acoustic guitar), Jonathan Edwards
(keyboards) and Rachel Jones (vocals). The band
started as a project to record songs in Ian's home
studio, that had been written and performed by
Jonathan, Rachel and Ian in earlier bands. The
project was augmented by additional musicians,
Paul Davies (electric guitars) and Gavin Griffiths
(drums), who had played with other members of
X in earlier bands. At the end of the recording the
decision was made to continue the project as a
band. The name X was chosen by the band, from
a suggestion by Ian, following his trips to that
region of India.

56. The appearance of the waitresses is a main selling feature of the restaurant. A X
Girl is a waitress employed by the X restaurant chain. The girls are recognizable
by their uniform of a white tank top with the “the Owl" logo and the location
name on the front paired with short nylon orange runner's shorts. Originally,
the shirts were white cotton, low-cut, pulled tight, and knotted in the back to
emphasize the breasts and expose the midriff.
Female employees are required to sign that they "acknowledge and affirm" the
following:
1. My job duties require I wear the designated X girl uniform.
2. My job duties require that I interact with and entertain the customers.
3. The X concept is based on female sex appeal and the work environment is
one in which joking and entertaining conversations are commonplace.
4. I do not find my job duties, uniform requirements, or work environment to
be offensive, intimidating, hostile, or unwelcome.

58. A frequently circulated story claims that Fleischer's
choice of X was based on faulty calculations of its
iron content. In the story, a scientist misplaced a
decimal point in an 1870 measurement of X's iron
content, leading to an iron value ten times higher
than it should have been. This faulty measurement
was not noticed until the 1930s..While this story has
gone through longstanding circulation, recent study
has shown that this is a myth, and it was chosen for
its vitamin A content alone.

60. B is a whimsical computer programming jargon term for
a software bug that seems to disappear when one attempts
to study it. The term is a pun on the name of a
famous physicist who is commonly associated to the observer
effect of quantum mechanics.
One common example of a B is a bug that appears when
the program is compiled with an optimizing compiler, but not
when the same program when compiled without optimization
(as one often does in order to examine it with a debugger).
While debugging, values that an optimized program would
normally be kept in registers are often pushed to main
memory.

61. Heisenbug

62. The name Y stems from the original dramatic
serials broadcast on radio that had
manufacturers such as Procter & Gamble,
Colgate-Palmolive, and Lever Brothers as
sponsors and producers. These early radio
serials were broadcast in weekday daytime
slots when mostly housewives would be
available to listen.

64. Z is a cryptic document which has been interpreted in many
ways. Most of the interpretations fall into one or more of the
following categories: the Historicist, which sees in Z a broad
view of history; the Preterist, in which Z mostly refers to the
events of the apostolic era (first century); the Futurist, which
believes that Z describes future events; and the Idealist, or
Symbolic, which holds that Z is purely symbolic, an allegory of
the spiritual path and the ongoing struggle between good and
evil. These approaches are by no means mutually exclusive,
and can be (and usually are) used in combination with each
other.

66. X , as a product brand, is especially known for
its packaging, a tubular paper-board can with a
foil-lined interior and a resealable plastic lid,
which was invented by Fredric J. Baur. Baur died
on March 4, 2008. his children honored his
request to bury him in one of the cans by
placing part of his cremated remains in a X
container in his grave. X?

70. Although not being his actual birthday, TG
celebrates his birthday on September 7th. 7th
September 1962 was the date when TG came

news all the time for all the wrong reasons
which include his unique protests since 1962
that have involved the use of broomsticks,
camels, pigs, donkeys, buffaloes and attires like
the burkha and the constable's uniform. TG was
also served a notice by the EC for selling CG,
his party symbol at much lower prices than the
markets to ‘raise funds’. TG yaaru? CG yenu?

72. In some versions of the Ramayana, when Rama leaves Ayodhya
for his 14-year exile, a crowd of his subjects follow him into the
forest because of their devotion to him. Soon Rama notices
this, and gathers them to tell them not to mourn, and that all
the men and women of his kingdom should return to their
places in Ayodhya. Rama then leaves and has adventures for 14
years. When he returns to Ayodhya, he finds that a group of
people have not moved from the place where he gave his
speech. Impressed with their devotion, Rama grants them the
boon to confer blessings on people during auspicious inaugural
occasions like childbirth and weddings.
How do we better know the group of people who stayed back?
