Q3
The notion of the X as a symbol of sin is reflected in artistic renderings of the
fall from Eden. When held in Y’s hand, the apple symbolises sin. But, when
Christ is portrayed holding X, he represents the Second Y who brings life. This
difference reflects the evolution of the symbol in Christianity. In the Old
Testament, the X was significant of the fall of man; in the New Testament, it is
an emblem of the redemption from that fall. The X is represented in pictures
of the Madonna and Infant Jesus as another sign of that redemption.
Give me X.

slightly wrong, he'll correct me. It's
embarrassing!"

Radix sort is a sorting algorithm of complexity O(d*(n+k)) It was invented by X. In the

paper. So, X decided to come up with an eﬃcient solution to make this process
faster and more automated. He invented a machine named the X machine which
consisted of two sections. It involved punch cards which held and recorded data and
a tabulator which tallied up the data. Thus, the census which would have otherwise
