## Transcript

[0:01] Welcome to. Are you quizzing me?
[0:03] I'm very tired with my co-host, Aditya kashyap.
[0:06] This is a quizzing trivia podcast show, where we ask each
[0:09] other questions, and share what we know and learn with you,
[0:12] though, in a quizzing format, it's not competitive.
[0:14] The questions are simply a way of sharing, our love of trivia.
[0:17] So sit back, relax and join us as we explore the depths of
[0:20] human knowledge. Here's the format, we ask each
[0:23] other questions alternatingly as many as time permits while
[0:26] giving as many Clues as needed to help each other get to The
[0:30] answer. Let's get quizzing.
[0:35] Another day, another episode, and this is a special one.
[0:40] But before we get to why it's special Aditya please relieve us
[0:44] of this Burning. Each that was left by your
[0:46] question. Last episode apart, from Prince,
[0:50] who else was left out from Rolling Stones list of the
[0:55] greatest guitarists. So ever since our last episode I
[1:00] I did my research and I realize how great a guitarist Prince
[1:04] was, but he did not hold a candle to 1 Suraj.
[1:10] Gonna do you know who so much can I is beneath I don't think
[1:15] anybody knows who sora's, kanai's apart from, maybe his
[1:18] mother. Oh no, no no, I think everybody
[1:22] here. Any any fan of great music would
[1:26] know this gentleman played a guitar in a fantastic
[1:30] performance shirtless where he was mic'd up and this was an
[1:34] electric guitar which is not connected to any amplifier.
[1:38] The the song was a cult classic called 00 Jana Jana.
[1:43] Yes, I just got an existing. You can stop now, Suraj karna,
[1:49] playing it, The guitar without any connection to an amplifier.
[1:52] Anywhere nearby is I think I think a better guitar is then
[1:57] prints. It would be my opinion.
[2:00] My humble. Okay, that Rolling Stone.
[2:02] Made a massive for Papa You can get stoned on the streets of
[2:07] Bombay one day or maybe run over God knows.
[2:13] Okay. So episode 10 and we're trying
[2:18] something new. Today we have a guest who is
[2:23] going to grill us so intuitive. As grilling each other, we have
[2:27] somebody to make Tandoori out of us and to introduce Our Guest
[2:32] for today's episode, I invite I co-host mr.
[2:36] Aditya kashyap. So this guy, the the most iconic
[2:41] memory I have of this particular person is he was a friend of
[2:45] mine in college, that's where I first met him and he walks into
[2:49] our College hangout, this Lounge that we used to have.
[2:53] And he walks in one day, carrying is fancy laptop and he
[2:57] goes hkv in the house and that is by far.
[3:03] My fanciest memory of, how do you Krishna my friend?
[3:08] Phone call is one of the smartest people.
[3:10] I know a fantastic sitar player, somebody who was a genius at
[3:16] software programming language software, engineering and
[3:20] decided he wouldn't want the money and the fame associated
[3:23] with that. And instead went over to study
[3:26] some public policy to do this world, some good and is now
[3:30] pursuing that particular passion of his in Delhi and today he's
[3:35] joining us for this podcast. Thank you, h k.
[3:38] Welcome to the podcast. Thank you.
[3:41] Thank you both for having me. And fortunately, I'm not joining
[3:45] in Delhi from H. KV H consulates, I lived
[3:47] somewhere else but that would have been I think a bit too good
[3:50] to miss out on and I regret my housing choices immediately.
[3:55] But yeah, I've been a big fan of the show.
[3:57] Especially of the opening segment.
[3:59] It's like I don't like my taste. Italy gets better at figuring
[4:03] the opening joke in every episode Good money that you're
[4:10] in the minority, that no II did send it to get some money
[4:14] beforehand. To make sure he compliments her
[4:17] jokes, just making sure. So today's format is going to be
[4:22] a little different. Me and Nadia are going to get
[4:25] grilled by the one the only mr. Hari Krishna and we will cap off
[4:31] the end with one or two questions of our own because you
[4:33] know we can't leave somebody from our podcast without some
[4:37] wounds at You're hoping what we want?
[4:40] So sorry, come on, hit us. Okay, I'm gonna try to make sure
[4:44] that I do both. You guys look good.
[4:46] And you look is I select with all the episodes.
[4:49] Sometimes, I've had enough for mentoring distant screaming in
[4:52] frustration, I hope it. Don't you think?
[5:05] Let's let's see how it goes. So, the first question, In and I
[5:09] guess the health even for the questions as it's somewhat
[5:12] related to Delhi. And of course my moved to Delhi
[5:15] recently as well is this style of garden is said to be inspired
[5:20] by depictions of Paradise in the Quran and of course they find
[5:25] themselves fittingly in the final resting places of Many
[5:29] Kings and Emperors. What is the term that is used
[5:33] for these styles of Gardens? And of course the bit vague but
[5:35] I can give you more head secure work.
[5:38] I guess what? It already.
[5:39] Is it Delhi. Delhi is important, but yes, the
[5:42] bog one. No, Okay, no.
[5:48] Okay, so we're talking about Gardens and this is deadly,
[5:53] right? So I'm asking for the name
[5:55] that's given. So we see them.
[5:56] Any specific examples of this time?
[5:58] They like it, it's a powerful thing.
[6:00] I'm looking for the archetype. So to speak of the this this
[6:03] particular kind of said to emulate.
[6:05] Paranoia is Aditya any any Diaz. I'm because you said it's a
[6:11] garden where there were a lot of burials and and final resting
[6:15] places. I know Rajkot and there are
[6:18] similarly named places for at least the The Immortal Indian
[6:24] history figures. So is it hot by any chance, know
[6:28] a goddess. I think two steps that lead into
[6:31] the river, right? Because that's the term, isn't
[6:33] it? And obviously other things.
[6:35] Yeah, Warren has. Yeah, yeah, yeah, nope.
[6:41] So this is sorry. This is only specific to the
[6:45] Mughal period. Okay.
[6:47] Without killing give it too much.
[6:48] I think the mughals are going to popularize it a lot.
[6:51] But the it's I mean, I don't know about.
[6:55] I'm going to get probably someone's going to come and tell
[6:57] if you know madnomads victim had enough.
[6:59] But I think it's probably their faith in the run.
[7:02] So for them to because it depiction comes from his love
[7:05] right? From the Quran.
[7:07] So yeah. My country because I also know
[7:10] all the mausoleums in Delhi by their English name, which is
[7:15] like basically humayun's tomb and whatnot.
[7:19] I will be who my own comic Opera.
[7:21] Yeah. Did you want visit?
[7:23] These tombs is my question because I read.
[7:25] There's a particular feature of these tools that they have is
[7:28] like it's very descriptive name. It's not like, you know.
[7:31] Yeah, it's not just a mug, but rather Pleasant I'm looking for
[7:34] something that's this. Obviously, the thing that I'm
[7:37] missing out is that Paradise described in a very specific
[7:40] way, right in his lab. So it has like, you know, of
[7:43] course, if it's a descriptive like worse, that happens, what?
[7:49] Yeah, because you said Paradise, I'm thinking maybe the root word
[7:54] could be janeth, but Channel, I can't hear anything which is
[7:58] Garden related to janeth any relation to Kashmir, any
[8:03] connection to Kashmir. For some reason that as there
[8:06] are Level, there are examples. As of this style of gardens in
[8:11] Kashmir to, as I think, of course the mughals, they catch
[8:17] me. It was a playground of this art.
[8:19] Is that, right? So, yeah, these are really built
[8:21] a very famous one that's interested in Srinagar, and I am
[8:25] currently a bit stumped. So I would love a clue.
[8:27] Same here. Same here.
[8:30] So you met you'd said something in the beginning with it.
[8:33] You said this one? Where did the picketing?
[8:34] That's partly the answer, but not exactly.
[8:37] What would you say in the very Beginning as a bad one, so Bob
[8:41] /. Yeah, yeah, it's a Garden State.
[8:47] So, there's a yes. So, but actually interesting
[8:50] that being bugged when a barber is Bob has to actually, and it's
[8:55] also style. It's also one of the examples of
[8:57] its but okay. So what it is, is that in Islam,
[9:00] specifically Paradise has a certain number of Gardens.
[9:05] And so that's the, you know. So so How many like, what is it?
[9:10] Described it. So yeah, I did, I want 74-72
[9:14] numb but I don't think that has the garden of pleasure you heard
[9:24] think so I have no clue what this is.
[9:39] So, hmm. Okay.
[9:40] Ivy or I'm I'm thinking, I'm trying to.
[9:43] I'm honestly just yeah, it's basically Char bad.
[9:48] So there are four carbons. So if you look at any layout and
[9:55] actually, this is interesting thing that everyone's getting a
[9:57] now cultural 60 for my students, a very good example of this.
[10:00] And you notice the tube itself is literally in the center of
[10:03] these four years. Folk rock like a crossroad kind
[10:06] of thing. Yeah, so the most still is
[10:08] Sample of this, of course is not mine stuff.
[10:10] Which one is the? Most famous example of the Char
[10:12] blog style. Like fighting the Taj Mahal has
[10:16] one drive if you are mistaken, but interestingly, if you look
[10:19] at the charge, doesn't seem to connect with the same
[10:23] architecture occupied because the for Gardens are in front of
[10:26] the package and not, that's not Gia and a bad idea the reasoning
[10:29] for that. Apparently there's an other
[10:31] Garden on the other side of the yamuna.
[10:33] And that is supposed to be a complimentary guarded, the Taj
[10:38] and also, Good Paradise has two rivers flowing through it.
[10:41] The camera itself is supposed to be one of those rivers that
[10:44] symbolizes like a Reverend Parris.
[10:46] Oh, they went like all out like, you know, but I don't know what
[10:49] this is. Yeah.
[10:51] So, it is kind of lik envisioned as part of a larger complex,
[10:57] which is on the other side of the internal, but that's not why
[10:59] I think the because the core state is divided probably
[11:01] doesn't look as impressive now. But yeah, of course, that's Mel
[11:04] itself is plenty of rest. Either of you would know this
[11:10] but the railway station in Lucknow is called the Char bagh
[11:14] railway station. Yeah, I don't know if that has
[11:15] any relation. I'm not sure exactly.
[11:17] Does it have any topiary of some kind of landscaping in front of
[11:22] it? I have no idea.
[11:24] But then now that he said, I am beginning to question whether it
[11:27] is named after a similar thing as well because Char bagh and
[11:31] have heard this word growing up all my life because my
[11:35] grandparents used to live in like knows I always go by train.
[11:40] The Garden in front of it, which is right.
[11:42] Yeah. When you were saying when you
[11:44] were saying number and bog, I would like art wall no bug and
[11:47] it didn't occur to me that I should start lower but started
[11:51] lower ever have it. I'm not sure if the other
[11:54] questions are going to be this is deliberately vague, right?
[11:56] So I don't know because I don't know.
[11:58] This is a this is a great strategy, the greatest passions
[12:01] is a great, this is a great question.
[12:02] The thing is what I'm really kind of peeved about is this was
[12:06] part of another question that I Saw at a recent quiz but it was
[12:12] only tangentially related news related to the Taj Mahal.
[12:16] And I remember this being part of the picture and then suddenly
[12:19] when you said Char bagh, I was like, oh my God idiot.
[12:23] Okay, hit us with an expression. Okay.
[12:27] So this phrase was originally used in a very literal sense by
[12:32] the Roman historian in history with big coat and Statesman
[12:36] Pliny, the Elder who wrote Cicero had recorded the poem of
[12:42] Homer called. The Iliad written on parchment
[12:45] was enclosed within blank, you know, now, this phrase is
[12:51] fittingly used to denote something that is brief and to
[12:54] the point. Now, this also another related
[12:58] word, which is used in journalism to describe a
[13:02] paragraph in which the main points of the article are
[13:05] summarized. So this the same, Word is
[13:09] basically used in these two context.
[13:11] So looking for the phrase actually you'll get to get the
[13:14] phrase. You're most likely going to get
[13:16] the second part. But yeah, something to do with
[13:19] Percy, the size of the C could be fitted.
[13:29] This, which seems very like I've been I'm like laughing at
[13:31] wondering how because they everyday lives is famously known
[13:34] for being one of the most verbose Square driver.
[13:36] But yes. Huh, anything with any of it to
[13:42] the point or something? Yeah yeah so this is a phrase
[13:46] that's used to denote something that is brief and to the point,
[13:49] okay? And the hope is that the poem of
[13:54] Homer called. The Iliad written on parchment
[13:57] was enclosed within the plant and what is the second part of
[14:02] it. You said the, the part of this
[14:07] same phrase, Is of length itself to this other word that is used
[14:12] daily in journalism. From what I am from what I have
[14:15] read to describe a paragraph in which the main points of the
[14:20] article as summarized. So there is a specific term for
[14:22] the paragraph in, which all the main points of the article are
[14:25] summarized. So it's called a particular
[14:28] something paragraph and short for something.
[14:33] If you get the good stuff - like a very, very kind of talent
[14:37] trick you add another 2. Either of you ever heard of the
[14:40] kitchen and not an ad, by the way.
[14:42] I just like, you know, like kind of lame magazine.
[14:46] Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they have one of the
[14:49] newsletters as a term, has the name of this.
[14:55] So if you haven't read it and you know, so leave it to you
[14:58] that even obscure clue. English.
[15:15] So, the court have given you as translated in English, right?
[15:18] So the the blank is literally within brackets, one word and
[15:23] the phrase is basically to do with that blank.
[15:27] So so maybe Focus forget about all the the fluff around it just
[15:31] focus on what is a phrase? That means something that is
[15:34] brief. And to the point blank is one
[15:37] English word, right? I mean it's noun, right?
[15:42] Rather I dislike of is not a verb, a copy, 66 a phrase,
[15:46] right? So it's an idiomatic phrase so
[15:48] it's what the lady magic phrase for something that's brief and
[15:52] to the point, okay? Maybe like so in context, right?
[15:57] So like I said of Pliny, the Elder used this word in a very
[16:02] literal sense. So he said literally that The
[16:06] Iliad could be fit with Thin something, right?
[16:10] And that something is like Soso basically, but obviously that
[16:13] something is a very small thing, which is why, you know, it
[16:16] became meant to be, you know, it became used as something to mean
[16:20] brief and to the point, but when you are saying, could be
[16:23] enclosed, within something whilst using it in a very
[16:25] literal sense that it could be enclosed within this object, or
[16:29] like this object is the kind of the wrong word, but like a like
[16:32] between this, this, this this descriptive who are the songs I
[16:38] should be. He familiar, is it anything to
[16:40] do with seed? Already you're there.
[16:45] But like, I mean, I know obviously like, you know, it
[16:48] takes so, I don't know. It's a nutshell, it's a
[16:51] nutshell. Yeah, you know, what is that
[16:56] summarizing paragraph? Have you heard that term before
[16:58] it does that make sense? Now see, nutshell paragraph or
[17:03] not, It's quite a bit.
[17:44] Yeah, I remember someone had told that he had when he had
[17:49] like very interesting piece a but India to because I had never
[17:52] been, but you had like some crazy stuff to say about like
[17:55] the people and like the piece in India.
[17:58] The trick that. Yeah.
[17:59] I read something about crocodiles and Pirates and
[18:02] rivers and something that comes up parts of Bangalore South,
[18:07] India have described if I'm not mistaken.
[18:09] Yeah, I remember something else. Somebody had put it through that
[18:12] in a quiz. Once in Mangalore.
[18:14] Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think, I think one of the
[18:16] things that he was very concerned about was apparently,
[18:18] because Roman trait would agree complications of trade in
[18:22] Flowood, be into India. So, even during the probably the
[18:25] earliest proper end of, you know, a splendid we're in Rome,
[18:29] Italy script available for Rome to India and giving all the
[18:33] riches to Indians at that point. But yeah, that's easy.
[18:37] That's the origin of in a nutshell, in a nutshell.
[18:41] That's a brilliant question, whether So, this next session is
[18:45] not the Wrecking, Ball. Z question, I can mix it up.
[18:47] Have like a few lined up like everyone's questions lined up,
[18:50] but I will move on to something else.
[18:51] But this was another one. So this term, like many others,
[18:55] if I may say so, myself, evolved from Agriculture and
[18:59] particularly, from this agricultural practice, where
[19:03] evil seeds with thrown over a large area in an attempt to
[19:07] basically not get them to not compete with each other and hope
[19:10] that some of them would Sprout it.
[19:12] So what is this? This or.
[19:14] Yeah, not phrases. That particular term came from
[19:16] this context. Seeds being thrown in a large
[19:19] area. Is this term?
[19:21] Now, in general, English used to mean, or what does it mean in
[19:28] general educational. Okay, that that, if I say that
[19:32] it's giving away the answer, basically, it's used in use in a
[19:36] very similar sense, right? So it's seeds are being spread
[19:40] in a large area. It's similar.
[19:43] Something similar happens in a large area.
[19:45] And so this term is used for that but the origin is comes
[19:49] from literally and I mean it's a very literal term that way once
[19:54] you know the term you Blackhawks.
[19:55] The meaning is right there. But yet, I see you do not fall
[19:58] for your trap just tries to your tricks are submitting
[20:10] descriptive. Like I said, so think of what I
[20:13] mean, his wife who widespread widespread seems to be got so,
[20:18] so think of other words a to? I mean I use thrown in a very
[20:22] can imagine, that Throne is not a very nice word, use this
[20:25] context it because people have thought there's always a nicer
[20:27] term that people use, but if I use that word you'll know the
[20:30] answer. So I'm deliberately use the word
[20:32] thrown in that sentence. So so you're really think of
[20:35] think of widespread so but that's not exactly descriptive
[20:39] right? Like you know in the same sets
[20:40] and itself it's used in a very The tangential but very, very
[20:46] familiar called similar similar sounding constant context.
[20:50] Yeah. And of course we all know this
[20:52] world. Yeah.
[20:53] It's a single word. It's not a phrase now.
[20:56] It's a single word. Yeah I'm a single one single
[20:59] word. Yeah I can only think of
[21:01] synonyms like ubiquitous sort of an extensive or not.
[21:10] There will be a little too obscured.
[21:13] So, since of seeds, red thrown over a large area now, something
[21:17] else is done over a large area and this word means something
[21:20] else being done over a large area.
[21:23] Yeah, true. In the sense in a large area, is
[21:27] it got everything to do with manure being spread over large
[21:30] areas? Well, started a big deal.
[21:32] Okay, obviously. Okay.
[21:35] The term as we use it now became super popular after like, the
[21:40] late like laity 90-something was And after that, this comes with
[21:44] became that popular basically, you know?
[21:46] So hmm. Whatever, chili disable show,
[21:55] till then it is probably a lot harder to do this thing,
[21:59] particularly. But after that, it just became
[22:01] very easy to do that. And then since then which has
[22:03] been doing more of this particular word everywhere,
[22:06] basically, you know, 1890s when you think it over the telephone,
[22:12] No, telephone no slightly earlier, yeah, something
[22:15] against. Yeah.
[22:18] Yeah, okay, yeah. Second is, this word is in.
[22:23] We generally know it, as part of the part of the term for this
[22:30] organization. Let's say that's been in the
[22:32] news recently, in India, particularly, and also like, you
[22:36] know, yeah, it's associated with the other this with this card.
[22:39] So like this organization that How did I say when I tell you
[22:45] what you've invented in the 1880s, 1890s radios in method
[22:51] after radius invented. This word is stick just
[22:54] broadcast. Yes, yeah.
[23:12] Is so obvious. I'm gonna I'm stealing this
[23:16] question by the way. Yeah, that's just come from
[23:20] agricultural practices that have been reduced in English means
[23:24] that the gallic. I mean, there's a couple of
[23:26] podcasts that I listen to vodka and that doesn't come from Adam.
[23:29] Think it comes from the same agricultural trade but like any
[23:32] policy that much like a few common things you get is like,
[23:35] animal husbandry and agriculture has a lot to do with, like, a
[23:37] lot of the places we use probably cos waited for the
[23:40] longest offense, but yeah, it's wonderful.
[23:44] Isn't it that I was a cracker of a question?
[23:46] That was a cracker of a question broadcast question with the
[23:51] answer when you hear it. So obvious that, yes, no, I
[23:58] guarantee there was somebody there.
[23:59] Somebody listening to this right now, who was screaming at it
[24:02] saying broadcast you idiots, you're literally doing that.
[24:12] And I should have moved to Something in the animal kingdom
[24:15] now because I'm going to skip over.
[24:16] I have like five more. Anybody better than Let's see we
[24:18] can come to it. So basilisk lizards are a group
[24:27] of lizards which are endemic to in those southern Mexico,
[24:31] Central America and South America.
[24:33] Now they have large high heat with scaly fringes on the sides
[24:37] of the third, fourth, and fifth toes.
[24:39] So these are normally compressed against the doors.
[24:41] No. And This lizard walks on land,
[24:45] but if it senses danger, you know, it uses it opens up these
[24:50] fringes and and you know, increases the surface area of
[24:53] the foot. And it allows that that allows
[24:56] it to perform one of its most iconic traits.
[24:59] So and also gives it a very popular nickname.
[25:02] So what do they do, which they don't normally do on land, but
[25:06] if it senses danger, it does this basically it opens up its
[25:09] doors wide and uses the fringes to do.
[25:12] I think that it probably the most animals normally can do.
[25:17] It's not surfing. You don't tell me cancer of it
[25:21] is to do with water so that it is correct.
[25:24] But if that's something that's very and and it gives it a Super
[25:27] Bowl and eat a piece here is it is, it is going to Jesus Lizard
[25:31] or something cause it runs on water.
[25:34] It is called a suspension set. No, I think I've seen like a
[25:44] clip of this happening. Like a lizard running on water,
[25:47] so I thought of nice. Nice.
[25:50] That's good question. No.
[25:51] But also like, I didn't know that like a basilisk was used in
[25:54] like, apart from the outset of Harry Potter, but yeah, that was
[25:57] like a random dial for this. Where I have no idea why they
[26:01] call this, the best list. It looks.
[26:03] So non setting the capacitor running or whatever, it's just
[26:06] objectively, sounds cool. I think I fell asleep.
[26:08] A lot of lizards is gross but this one just looks cool legal.
[26:12] Anyone? What they do why they call it
[26:14] like a very frightening, but they're okay on to the next one.
[26:20] Yeah, next one. Okay, so let's move to Flags.
[26:26] So the flag of this country is a very simple by color flag with
[26:30] two horizontal bands. Okay?
[26:32] And of course, is a ratio to it and all that, which are not
[26:35] particularly relevant. So this is a very memorable
[26:38] incident associated with this life.
[26:40] So during the The it's this country's War of Independence
[26:44] against is called nice herbs. A group of youths remote, the
[26:49] flag of their colonizing country.
[26:51] Okay and then from from it which has features hoisted atop this
[26:56] hotel in I think in in a pretty important city in that country.
[27:00] So what there is it? Not the flag down the door off a
[27:05] strip of blue that was in the flag and then they re hoisted it
[27:09] as this country's plaid which country's flag a metal cable.
[27:12] So my instinct is immediately to go to French colony.
[27:17] And I'm thinking it has to be if the Devourer of the blue that it
[27:20] is the White and the red, okay? But I hide under is what Poland
[27:27] know is which have the other one that I know is Indonesia but
[27:42] What is that? Individual would be the Dutch,
[27:45] right? Yeah, that sort of thing is not
[27:48] a French Colony then now babe we decided.
[27:51] It's a French Colony. He never said it was a French
[27:53] Colony. That is true.
[27:57] Wait, what's a Dutch flag? The Dutch Flags.
[27:59] Also got red blue and white, right?
[28:01] I have no idea. I do not want the dust flies.
[28:05] Okay, but if he's smiling, he's smiling.
[28:08] I'm seeing an evil smile on his face.
[28:10] I think we are close and he just purposely keeping quiet.
[28:15] Okay, so we can confirm it is the Dutch flag.
[28:21] It is the best plan is it in Malaysia as it is
[28:40] and Associated but that's not how they like the airport.
[28:51] It comes from like the one of the reasons but yeah but
[29:01] basically they just saw that the that's why I had red white and
[29:03] blue. And so they think that's like to
[29:05] rock the blue and Latino voice which is the red and white, you
[29:09] know. And it was yeah, that was a time
[29:11] when there are obviously not pleased with Indonesia's.
[29:14] Like the floor during the war ability again.
[29:22] I devoted the completely wrong way because I will difference
[29:26] without we've done this before on the podcast that we thought
[29:30] of something intent. Completely the other way around
[29:32] outside French flag has vertical stripes.
[29:35] Not Horticultural cannot live, take it.
[29:37] So yeah. So I think I could defend, you
[29:43] can turn the flag on its side. That's what I thought.
[29:46] This is stirred up. So, I think I'm going to go back
[29:54] to some questions. I'm going to go for this one.
[29:58] Okay, so this term, the term X derives its name from an ancient
[30:04] Greek city which used to serve as a Transit point and a Transit
[30:08] van trait or Britain Europe and Asia.
[30:11] Now, the meaning of X has changed and it's generally used
[30:15] to describe something that's excessively complicated and
[30:18] typically involves a lot of administrative.
[30:21] So what is this right? Yeah, bison, time again, I've
[30:33] done this before. And again, I'm not getting paid
[30:36] by them. Please listen to the Empire
[30:38] podcast is an entire episode dedicated to this.
[30:44] Oh yeah, I don't know what what is vibrant and because I know
[30:48] you guys call it trickles into this is the I'm that the crypto
[30:52] Jenny aims to solve or at least like blocking all these
[30:54] protocols in place. Called, the Byzantine generals
[30:56] problem is this column of like coordination between parties
[31:00] that can't really communicate with each other by something
[31:02] ourselves. Yeah.
[31:03] I'm sure someone will issue an addendum but yeah the thing is
[31:06] the thing is the terms actually kind of I wouldn't say offensive
[31:11] it's not completely accurate because the Byzantine Empire
[31:15] lasted for a good like a few centuries and if what Actually
[31:21] what people say is true, or what people think was true that, you
[31:25] know, there was so much red tape and, you know, bureaucracy and
[31:28] Corruption. No, Kingdom would have survived
[31:31] that long they survived for a good like, I think more than
[31:34] half a millennium, so it's a misnomer, but as, and people
[31:39] still use that term recently during the elections of the UK
[31:43] elections. It was bandied about quite a
[31:45] bit, of course, of course, of course.
[31:48] Okay, this is let's see. This is probably a Okay.
[31:51] Okay, I'm going to add spoil too much so this company's upon
[31:56] domestic product is widely used as a lubricant rust
[31:59] preventative, penetrant and moisture is Blazer.
[32:02] The name is WD-40 white. You know, this fact that I'm
[32:08] sorry I just couldn't help myself.
[32:11] I don't know. I don't know.
[32:21] Several times to formulate, such a product.
[32:23] So it's basically Italy what a displacement, the 40th attempt.
[32:28] So, yeah, it's called abilities - I'm so sorry.
[32:35] I shouldn't have done that. I just it just horrible
[32:39] etiquette to jump in the middle of a question.
[32:46] The very idea because it's like that when you trivialize like
[32:59] this, next one is a little harder.
[33:01] So this company's name is commonly assumed to translate to
[33:06] leave luck to heaven or even to leave once fortune in the hands
[33:11] of Fate. But these are not history.
[33:14] Develop, it's one of those, you know, food etymology things
[33:17] where like you know like people like to use this as the meaning,
[33:20] but it's Actually no one's verified, that that's actually
[33:23] what it means, okay? Likely explanation is that it
[33:27] means the company that's allowed to make a particular kind of
[33:32] playing cards. Which company to form playing
[33:36] cards. I know I know playing cards is
[33:37] Nintendo. Yeah, so because I know that the
[33:44] original Nintendo play catcher, one legal, a lot of gambling
[33:50] with illegal in that time in Japan and also like the other
[33:54] founder, they start opening hanafuda cards, that's the
[33:56] thing. And the panda term selected, the
[33:58] reason these things happen in Japanese and I guess other like
[34:01] in or Chinese in these languages, because Was
[34:04] Nintendo's written with I think country, right, which is Chinese
[34:07] characters and so there's a lot of different meanings for the
[34:09] words. And so, one possible meaning is
[34:11] literally that it's something that falls from heaven
[34:14] participating in and tell. And all of these words also be
[34:16] dead. But another way of looking at it
[34:18] is the fancy like if you look at the characters that it
[34:21] translates to all like the characters similar to catch cup
[34:24] of flour and they sell hanafuda cards, which is the kind of card
[34:27] floral pattern for this and so yeah so badly like the other the
[34:32] more acceptable more Thing is that it's just a house that made
[34:35] cards and so let's meet them. Nice, nice.
[34:41] That's wonderful. Okay, so I think it's time for
[34:46] us to start winding up, which means that there's two questions
[34:50] left for today's episode 1. From, you are the Thea and I
[34:54] will go for the second one. So okay.
[34:57] Yeah, I feel like H here, set the bar really high, really
[35:02] high. I mean, like today.
[35:03] Is today, the level has gone up to professional quizzes.
[35:07] Level, you know. Yeah, if we end up not recording
[35:11] a single more episode after this, it's your fault that she's
[35:14] we can live up here but now let's try.
[35:18] Let's try doing a piece of Justice which is question.
[35:21] So I'm going to do one. So everybody is familiar with
[35:25] mnemonics. We know what mnemonics are and
[35:27] for those of you not familiar demonic is basically a device
[35:31] that is used to make easy. The learning more complicated
[35:35] things. So one of the most famous
[35:38] examples is my very excited mother just served us nine on.
[35:45] It should be like the mnemonic for remembering the order of the
[35:49] planets in the solar system. Now, I want to know what this
[35:56] mnemonic is for Superman. Helps everyone Superman helps
[36:05] everyone. Wow, Superman helps everyone.
[36:09] I said. Yeah.
[36:11] Wait, but eight helps 585. And everyone is 9, right?
[36:20] 08 again. Yeah.
[36:22] Yeah, 858 858 but is 858. Okay, let me let me try that
[36:28] again. Let me see that again.
[36:29] And maybe my saying it in the specific we might help you guys.
[36:33] Okay. Super man helps every one.
[36:41] Yeah so Superman 53 helps again 535 535, three-way tie, three
[36:50] sites will do something with that for super.
[36:53] And I think I think you guys are going skating, you're going in
[36:56] the slide, your own protection, so it has nothing to do with the
[36:58] number of letters. Okay, F and e h so okay.
[37:03] Them had e0. Wait what?
[37:09] It's not too late SMH already decimated a super look forward
[37:15] for. So this data for proteins
[37:17] involved in the superb and helps everyone I would say five no
[37:21] Superman helps every one. Think think geography.
[37:36] Think geography. Should I get more specific?
[37:42] Ya Tink Tink, North American geography or Superior the Lakes
[37:48] Superior Michigan your own okay the Great Lakes series of
[37:58] largest interconnected freshwater lakes in North
[38:02] America and the in order they are so Sinatra's five-year Lake
[38:08] Michigan. Order of west to east west to
[38:14] east. Yeah.
[38:16] Yeah. That is so Superior.
[38:19] Michigan her on Erie and Ontario, that Superman has
[38:23] everyone I expected. That's my question.
[38:27] I mean, really, it's, it's my turn.
[38:31] So, it's my question. The last question for today's
[38:34] episode, and here goes in chronological.
[38:41] People Order. Okay, in chronological order,
[38:45] the first one was Sylvester, also known as Sir debt.
[38:52] Lord Naughton was the last. In between there were many
[38:57] others including Tom Taylor lady Jean, Earl Spencer, Leonardo da
[39:04] Vinci lady Blount, Eleonora Jackson Paganini and the Messiah
[39:14] though. Unnamed one also appears in the
[39:17] Sherlock Holmes series. What am I talking about?
[39:23] Let me just specify. I'm talking about the Sherlock
[39:25] Holmes, novels not the TV series, the novels by Arthur
[39:29] Conan Doyle. It doesn't have anything to do
[39:33] with like I'm thinking some secret society leader or
[39:38] something. When we read and run away, is
[39:42] there something you would not be like, that's a great guess
[39:44] because when I asked this question, another quiz.
[39:48] The first question that came was, the first answer that came
[39:51] was, are these, you know? Chancellors of The Priory of
[39:54] Sion thinking. Yeah but then I would have also
[39:57] included Newton in that list okay what are you resisting as
[40:02] well as bait business just to Sylvester with sir Sylvester is
[40:06] it was the first and the next is silver, silver as an RV
[40:10] Sylvester, okay? And the last was the last was
[40:17] not Naughton, and this da Vinci. Hindi.
[40:23] Is it okay? Ladies shorts DaVinci's.
[40:26] They're all Spencer's. The lady.
[40:28] Blount is there. Lenora Jackson's there, Tom
[40:32] Taylor and the Messiah. Is this a like something real or
[40:39] fictional? This is real.
[40:42] This is real again. Do the Fabergé eggs have names?
[40:48] No, they don't. But that's a very good guess.
[40:52] You'll realize how good a guess that was.
[40:54] When I tell you the answer, open HK, finally gets to the answer.
[41:00] Is it something Roots stuff that was like, is it something to the
[41:04] moon, like, craters on the moon? Very, Charles are not all over
[41:07] again, create guess. But yeah, but He doesn't want to
[41:11] go because it is an exhaustive list for it.
[41:13] Has a person, the last. Yeah.
[41:15] It's true. As your first and the last year.
[41:17] So some, you're also sharing the last clue.
[41:20] Basically. And it is, it is in the books,
[41:24] those books. Yeah.
[41:26] Oh yeah. One of them though are named one
[41:31] of them does appear in the Sherlock, Holmes, novels, and
[41:34] short stories. I'm named one of them appears
[41:39] carpets. Is it something to do with
[41:41] comments? I want.
[41:43] That was a great dancer. Yeah, probably, not an
[41:47] exhaustive list, again, right? Again, this is not an exhaustive
[41:51] list by the way, this is just who I meant.
[41:55] So, yeah. So there is a beginning and
[41:58] there is an end, it's a finite list, but this I gave you is no
[42:01] longer. No, exhaustive, there are over
[42:04] 200 entries on that list. Oh wow. 200 over entries over
[42:10] 200. Who shall I?
[42:12] Give you a clue? Yes, I think we need a true.
[42:15] The most famous of them is the messiah messiah.
[42:23] Is it is it, is it a painting or something?
[42:28] No. But skip thinking in that
[42:30] direction, you're going to bring ours it ravaged, the egg will
[42:34] say, right? That's why I saw some something,
[42:36] some sculpture Something along those lines of thinking it's,
[42:40] you know, that's a little cold. Isn't the work of a famous
[42:47] artist. Yes.
[42:49] Whoo-hoo can put it that way. You could say he was an artist.
[42:52] Yeah, he's right. SDS is an artist so and it's a
[42:56] work of famous artists. Okay start thinking what kind of
[43:02] thing would appear in a show? Called Sherlock Holmes, novel
[43:05] okay. Think of the most famous
[43:06] paintings of Sherlock Holmes. The illustrations of Sherlock,
[43:12] Holmes at 221B, betas Baker Street Thank you for standing
[43:17] there. Looking outside the window.
[43:20] Doing what is it? Cigars?
[43:24] No, again, it can't be. No will never smoke cigars.
[43:28] Yeah, he's smoking. Pipe right?
[43:29] There was nothing. These these violins.
[43:55] Various violence have a name or a sobriquet for to it.
[44:01] So the first one is known as Silvestre also known as sedet,
[44:04] the last one that we know that he made was called not Norton
[44:10] and in between, there are a lot of them which have gained names
[44:13] because famous people have been With them or the family or
[44:17] somebody like Lenora, Jackson plays it.
[44:19] So it becomes the lien or attraction that somebody the by
[44:22] DaVinci families are good. Comes from as the Dilaudid,
[44:24] Leonardo da Vinci. So there are a lot of names in
[44:27] that I obviously picked out the ones that sound most like
[44:30] people. So that it ripping little
[44:32] harder. But there are so many in that.
[44:35] The only one I left was the Messiah because that's the most
[44:37] famous Stradivarius violin there is, it's called the Messiah,
[44:41] very question. It's a great question and that
[44:45] Was the last question for today's episode, but before we
[44:48] wind up, there is tradition that we have to follow.
[44:53] Olivia, what's your question for this week?
[44:56] I'm really going to regret this because I have to come up with
[44:59] an answer the next time. But what is the mnemonic for
[45:02] remembering the tributaries for Indus River?
[45:05] Indus at has five famous tributaries and there's a very
[45:10] interesting mnemonic that I am going to magically come of it
[45:13] before the next episode, I will be hilarious.
[45:17] Apparently that's my question. Hilarious or lethal, one of the
[45:22] two either either or Either, as I mentioned, that's the last for
[45:28] this episode but do not fret do not fear.
[45:31] H key will be back for the next episode due to popular demand or
[45:36] demand but still it's you know, anyone still nonetheless as so.
