Q2.
THE CREATION MYTH
• (The mouse was conceived by the computer scientist Douglas Engelbart, developed by
X, and made marketable by Apple).
• In late 1979, a twenty-four-year-old entrepreneur paid a visit to a research center in
Silicon Valley called X. He was the co-founder of a small computer startup down the
road, in Cupertino. His name was Steve Jobs.
• “If X had known what it had and had taken advantage of its real opportunities,” Jobs
said, years later, “it could have been as big as I.B.M. plus Microsoft combined—and the
largest high-technology company in the world.”
• X began selling a successor to the Alto in 1981. It was slow and underpowered—and X
ultimately withdrew from personal computers altogether. Jobs, meanwhile, raced back
to Apple, and demanded that the team working on the company’s next generation of
personal computers change course. He wanted menus on the screen. He wanted
windows. He wanted a mouse. The result was the Macintosh, perhaps the most famous
product in the history of Silicon Valley.

Answer-
XEROX Parc
(PARC- Palo Alto Research Center)

Q3.
• (Remember the story X and the Three Bears? Where a golden-haired girl goes into a
house, samples three bowls of porridge and finds that one is "just right - not too hot
and not too cold!"
"I think it might have been my friend Dr Charley Lineweaver and Stuart Gary, who
first applied the term "the X Zone" to describe the habitable zone around a star when
the temperature is not too hot or too cold," Professor Webb said.)
• ("The only life we know about is our carbon-based life, and water plays a crucial part
in our own existence, and so it's only natural that we direct our attention to planets
in locations capable of having liquid water," Professor John Webb of the University of
New South Wales said.)
There are at least a dozen or so potentially habitable exoplanets, planets which are in
varying degrees similar to Earth.
Example: Kepler 22b
Looking for planets in the ‘X’LOCKS ZONE is a way that allows scientists to hone in
their search for Earth-like planets that could contain life.
• Basically, the assumption is that if it's possible there may be liquid water on
the planet, then it's also possible that the planet may be habitable.

Answer-
THE GOLDILOCKS ZONE
PHOTO: In December 2011 Kepler 22b was
confirmed as the first potentially habitable
planet orbiting in the Goldilocks Zone of a Sun-
like star.

Q4.
• Concept of X - the idea is that anyone in the planet can be connected to anyone
else in just six steps. So through just five other people, you're effectively
connected to the Queen of England, Tom Cruise, or even a Mongolian sheep
herder.
• The whole basis of the theory came from a 1929 short story called Chains, in
which one of the characters challenges the others to find another person on Earth
that he can not connect himself to through fewer than five intermediaries.
• In an experiment conducted to prove this, with an average path length of just 5.2
intermediary connections the target was achieved, and this experiment was used
as evidence for X, or the 'small world phenomenon', as the researcher called it.
If you just take a look at the numbers, the X idea seems pretty plausible.
Assuming everyone knows at least 44 people, and that each of those people
knows an entirely new 44 people, and so on, the math shows that in just Y steps
everyone could be connected to 44^Y, or 7.26 billion people - more than are alive
on Earth today.
• Note: ‘Y’ is a number which is a part of ‘X’

Answer-
• ‘SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION’
also known as Small World
phenomenon.
