2. ID XYou wouldnt really expect a kids movie to have a lot of references from X. However, this can be understood in hindsight when one felt this immense sense of dread while watching woody and Buzz hide from Sid (or his dog, I dont remember the exact scene) in Toy Story. However, the movie Toy Story is filled with references to the movie X and the director of the movie, Lee Unkrich, has (I think) gone on record saying that X is his favourite movie.

3. X is a very famous work of art (art may be used in this quiz as a representative noun for movies, books songs or paintings. Do not ask specific hints) initially given the title as the Last Man in Europe. Give me X or if you can, the name of this author born in Bihar.

4. Tribute question to XKCD- I used to think dash dash dash. Give me dash dash dash

5. Some people have too much free timeOn the next slide, you see an Abstruse Goose comic mocking something. As far as the movie is concerned, what followed this scene led to a viral internet phenomenon that all (or most) of you must have seen. ID the viral video/meme

7. X, was an 11th-century Anglo-Saxon noblewoman who, according to a legend rode naked through the streets of Coventry in order to gain a remission of the oppressive taxation imposed by her husband on his tenants. The term Y for a voyeur originates from later versions of this legend in which a person had watched her ride while the entire town had vowed to honour the dignity of the noblewoman. Pic related next slide is John Colliers rendition of the event and has nothing to do with the person or the persons POV (I suppose).

15. In the late nineteenth century the X movement was initially not received very well by the establishment. Reviews were at times abusive: La Figaro, 1876, "Five or six lunatics, one of them a woman, have met here to exhibit their works. Someone should tell Mr. Pissarro forcibly that trees are never violet, the sky is never the colour of fresh butter, that nowhere on earth are things to be seen as he paints them." Maybe not, but the popularity of this movement cannot be disputed

It is widely believed that Y wrote the song for the son of another band member Z, to comfort him during his parents divorce in 1968.
