Question of the Day

 In recent years, excessive usage of a certain tool, has led to the development of various tools designed to identify such content, X

An often nightmare for students but the living dream for teachers, these Xs have evolved to be one of the most visited websites by official school accounts.

Statistics show that especially on the day of any assignment submissions across top colleges, the usage of Xs skyrocket, and that just before (in India), June, the usage of another sub tool of Xs also skyrocket, often to assist in the tasks of the holidays.

This subtool of X acts conversely to the functioning of X itself, ie, it analyses what could qualify as potential material for X and removes any such material and provides an output.

Perplexity measures how predictable the material is; lower values suggest high predictability typical of machine output. 

Burstiness evaluates variation in sentence length and structure, natural material shows more fluctuation.

Log-probability sums the likelihood of certain phrases appearing in the material, with more negative values hinting at patterns Xs would catch. Entropy captures randomness in word choice; low entropy may indicate artificial material.

Oh, and for the feel of it, this question has also passed through X and has returned with a 23% tag on it (don't ask why)

X? Which helps foster robust mechanisms to ensure a rich tapestry of academic growth without any comprehensive external support?

Question of the Day

The word X was introduced to the public by the Czech interwar writer Karel Čapek in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal X), published in 1920. The play begins in a factory that uses a chemical substitute for protoplasm to manufacture living, simplified people called X. The play does not focus in detail on the technology behind the creation of these living creatures, but in their appearance they prefigure modern ideas of androids, creatures who can be mistaken for humans. These mass-produced workers are depicted as efficient but emotionless, incapable of original thinking and indifferent to self-preservation. At issue is whether the X are being exploited and the consequences of human dependence upon commodified labor (especially after a number of specially-formulated X achieve self-awareness and incite X all around the world to rise up against the humans).

Karel Čapek himself did not coin the word. He wrote a short letter in reference to an etymology in the Oxford English Dictionary in which he named his brother, the painter and writer Josef Čapek, as its actual originator.

In an article in the Czech journal Lidové noviny in 1933, he explained that he had originally wanted to call the creatures laboři ("workers", from Latin labor). However, he did not like the word, and sought advice from his brother Josef, who suggested X. The word X means literally "corvée, serf labor", and figuratively "drudgery, hard work" in Czech and also more generally "work, labor" in many Slavic languages (e.g., Bulgarian, Russian, Serbian, Croatian, Slovenian, Slovak, Polish, Macedonian, Ukrainian and archaic Czech) as well as robot in Hungarian. Traditionally, the X was the work period a serf (corvée) had to give for his lord, typically six months of the year. The origin of the word is the Old Church Slavonic X ("servitude"; "work" in contemporary Bulgarian, Macedonian and Russian), which in turn comes from the Proto-Indo-European root orbh-. X is cognate with the German Arbeit ("work").

The word X, used to describe this field of study, was coined by the science fiction writer Isaac Asimov. Asimov created the Three Laws of X, which are a recurring theme in his books. These have since been used by many others to define laws used in fiction. (The three laws are pure fiction, and no technology yet created has the ability to understand or follow them, and in fact most X serve military purposes, which run quite contrary to the first law and often the third law. "People think about Asimov's laws, but they were set up to point out how a simple ethical system doesn't work. If you read the short stories, every single one is about a failure, and they are totally impractical," said Dr. Joanna Bryson of the University of Bath.)

X? Whose original Czech name is also a well recognised font?

Question of the Day

It is a ranked index of the largest U.S. based companies by total revenue, used by investors, analysts, and policymakers to track economic power centers. Uniquely, it sets strict inclusion criteria, private companies are excluded unless their revenue data is public. It influences executive compensation benchmarking, guides B2B partnership decisions, and shapes corporate recruitment strategies. Its annual shifts help forecast sectoral growth trends, from logistics to biotech. Companies on it are more likely to be targeted in antitrust scrutiny and shareholder activism. Interestingly, some firms manipulate fiscal calendars to qualify. It’s not a marketing tool, its inclusion has legal, financial, and strategic implications throughout the U.S.

Which annual roster, whose most consistent member is the Bank of New York Mellon (founded 1784)?

The clock is ticking.

All you have is 50 minutes.

Can you find clues, solve puzzles, and unravel the mystery before the time is up?

So, slip into the shoes of your favorite detective and solve a crime case, or get into the role of notorious thieves robbing a bank. The possibilities are endless!

Company X in Bangalore has started these "escape rooms" where teams of 4-7 are given a certain case that they need to crack before escaping the room and locating the suspects. It quickly rose to popularity during the 2017-19 period, but th COVID pandemic did not hinder it's growth. 

X, to cope with COVID and maintain its business hosted these escape rooms virtually in Zoom using the Y feature, its namesake.

This feature allows members to form smaller groups and the group that solves the mystery the fastest wins.

Which company X?

question of the day

Originating from Arabic, later Italian and then French, this word has its origins trace back to the early 16th century. It referred to a group/sect of people who were reputed to be intoxicated with "X" before carrying out certain missions . They were renowned militant fanatics This group was a community of Muslims now concentrated in South Asia in countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan. The origin of the word literally translates to X eater, most likely a derogatory nickname for people of that group, owing to their erratic behaviour due to the consumption of that intoxicant.

The word brings forth a connection between famous political icons such as Abrahan Lincoln, Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., etc. who had very strong, revolutionary ideas that were often criticised.

Identify the word and X.

Question of the Day

 

The Urban Dictionary defines X's douchebag as one who makes douchebag statements, particularly sexist, racist or otherwise bigoted ones, then decides whether they were "just joking" or "dead serious" based on whether other people in the group approve or not.

We associate X to the notion of uncertainty.

The Urban Dictionary thought of calling it the Y douchebag, considering the other uncertainty, to be or not to be.

X? whom we associate with a member of the feline family and Y? (no need of a hint there)

"Other interests included writing poetry; reading, with the works of Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery and Charles de Gaulle said to be among his favourites; black stallions; and association football, in which he enjoyed playing at centre forward and followed the English club Arsenal", said X's close acquaintance.

The FBI described X as an adult as tall and thin, between 1.93 m (6 ft 4 in) and 1.98 m (6 ft 6 in) in height and weighing about 73 kilograms (160 lb),although author Lawrence Wright, in his book writes that a number of X's close friends confirmed that reports of his height were greatly exaggerated, and that he was actually "just over 6 feet (1.8 m) tall". After his death, he was measured to be roughly 1.93 m (6 ft 4 in). X had an olive complexion and was left-handed, usually walking with a cane. He wore a plain white cloth. He was described as soft-spoken and mild-mannered in demeanor.

Hate to admit it but X was by far the most (in)famous figure in history. X's greatest achievement will be celebrated in 65 days from the 8th of July 2025 (do the math). 

Which father figure to troll memes on Instagram and YouTube, often using X's actions to create designs for fake shirts along with a song by Rucka Rucka Ali, "I'm X", such as "Y" instead of Nike's Just Do it and Z instead of PlayStation.

Connect the dots religiously and arrive at an answer to X, Y and Z.
