Founded by Stepan Pachikov, this is a suite of
software and services. It has an animal as its logo.
To the question- “Why that particular animal as the
logo?”, it has been suggested, and is probably
implied, that the answer can be found in the book
title of an Agatha Christie novel featuring Hercule
Poirot, or the alternate name of the 1939 Oliver
Hardy movie called Zenobia- both of which may
have been derived from a popular belief. Which
suite of software and services am I talking about?
EVERNOTE
The Christie novel being ‘Elephants Can
Remember’and the Hardy movie
‘Elephants Never Forget’
The two word phrase is nowadays used, typically in
politics and economics, to describe any
construction (literal or figurative) built solely to
deceive others into thinking that some situation is
better than it really is. It derives from the name of
Gregory ________ (whose name would be familiar
to movie buffs for a different reason) who
supposedly erected fake settlements along the
banks of the Dneiper river in order to fool Empress
Catherine II during her journey to Crimea in 1787.
Which two word phrase?
POTEMKIN VILLAGE
12. This is a clipping of a news report
published in a French newspaper

report talks of a someone, “who
went and rang at the door of a
house of ill repute and gave
something in a folded piece of
paper to the person who came to
open it, saying ‘Take it, it will be
useful’.”
The report goes on to say- “He then
left. The police searched for this
individual and found him lying at
his house. His very serious
condition necessitated his transfer
to hospital.”
What is the report talking about?
 Van Gogh slicing off his
ear.
13. “After many years in which the world has afforded me many experiences,
what I know most surely in the long run about morality and obligations, I owe
to football”
The guy wearing the dark colour jersey in the front row was referring to his
college days when he played goalie for the Racing Universitaire Algerios
(RUA) junior team. He would contract tuberculosis at the age of 18 which cut
short his not-so-promising football career. He would later go on to say-
“I learned . . . that a ball never arrives from the direction you expected it. That
helped me in later life, especially in mainland France, where nobody plays
straight.”
ALBERT CAMUS

“Once, long ago, I took instruction in a certain skill or subject
and in doing so, came into contact with a teacher or instructor
whom I disliked intensely on sight.
The woman in question returned my antipathy with interest.
Why we took against each other so instantly, heartily and (on
my side, at least) irrationally, I honestly cannot say. What
sticks in my mind is her pronounced taste for twee accessories.
I particularly recall a tiny little plastic bow slide, pale lemon in
colour that she wore in her short curly hair…. Her tendency to
wear frills where (I felt) frills had no business to be, and to
carry undersized handbags, again as though they had been
borrowed from a child’s dressing-up box, jarred, I felt, with a
personality that I found the reverse of sweet, innocent and
ingenuous.”
Who talking about what?
JK ROWLING talking about her inspiration for the
creation of DOLORES UMBRIDGE
15. The phrase was popularized after the
name of this painting by WWII artist and
correspondent Tom Lea, which was

wounded in his first campaign. He has
had tropical diseases. He half-sleeps at
night and gouges Japs out of holes all day.
Two-thirds of his company has been killed
or wounded. He will return to attack this
morning. How much can a human being
endure?
What is this phrase, used to describe the
limp, blank, unfocused gaze of a battle-
weary soldier?
The painting is called 'The 2000-yard stare'
The phrase is 'thousand-yard stare/ 2000 yard-stare'
16. This is the picture of an
obelisk found in Upper Egypt in
1815, named after the place
where it was found. This, along
with something else (X), served
a very useful role in Jean-
François Champollion’s most
famous work. Why is this
obelisk, and the X, in the news?
The Philae obelisk and the Rosetta stone (X) were
instrumental in Champollion’s deciphering the
Egyptian hieroglyphics.

of comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko (67P) with
both an orbiter, and lander module Philae. it is hoped
that these spacecraft will result in better understanding
of comets and the early Solar System. In a more direct
analogy to its namesake, the Rosetta spacecraft also
carries a micro-etched nickel alloy Rosetta disc donated
by the Long Now Foundation inscribed with 13,000
pages of text in 1200 different languages

Which two word phrase?
  • 51. 12. This is a clipping of a news report published in a French newspaper called Le Petit Journal in 1886 .

He would contract tuberculosis at the age of 18 which cut short his not-so-promising football career.

  • 55. 14 “Once, long ago, I took instruction in a certain skill or subject and in doing so, came into contact with a teacher or instructor whom I disliked intensely on sight. The woman in question returned my antipathy with interest. Why we took against each other so instantly, heartily and (on my side, at least) irrationally, I honestly cannot say. What sticks in my mind is her pronounced taste for twee accessories. I particularly recall a tiny little plastic bow slide, pale lemon in colour that she wore in her short curly hair…. Her tendency to wear frills where (I felt) frills had no business to be, and to carry undersized handbags, again as though they had been borrowed from a child’s dressing-up box, jarred, I felt, with a personality that I found the reverse of sweet, innocent and ingenuous.” Who talking about what?

He half-sleeps at night and gouges Japs out of holes all day. Two-thirds of his company has been killed or wounded. He will return to attack this morning. How much can a human being endure? What is this phrase, used to describe the limp, blank, unfocused gaze of a battle- weary soldier?
  • 58. The painting is called 'The 2000-yard stare' The phrase is 'thousand-yard stare/ 2000 yard-stare'
  • 59. 16. This is the picture of an obelisk found in Upper Egypt in 1815, named after the place where it was found. This, along with something else (X), served a very useful role in Jean- François Champollion’s most famous work. Why is this obelisk, and the X, in the news?
  • 60. The Philae obelisk and the Rosetta stone (X) were instrumental in Champollion’s deciphering the Egyptian hieroglyphics. Rosetta is a robotic space probe built and launched by the European Space Agency to perform a detailed study of comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko (67P) with both an orbiter, and lander module Philae. it is hoped that these spacecraft will result in better understanding of comets and the early Solar System.
