Quiz 69 : To do or not to do

2013-09-23T23:30:00.000+05:30

In political philosophy, X is a proposal that mixes an offer with a threat which will be carried out if the offer is not accepted. It was first used by philosopher Hillel Steiner in a 1974–75 Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society article.Steiner had considered a dialogue from the 1972 film The Godfather: "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse". While the line seemed to be an amusing irony (because a threat is being made, not an offer), Steiner was unsatisfied that the difference between an offer and a threat was merely that one promises to confer a benefit and the other a penalty.He thus coined X to describe the "offer" in The Godfather.

A pictorial example of a X in which one can either :
(a) commit a murder and receive the money (right hand) or
(b) not commit a murder and consequently be murdered (left hand)

Quiz 68 : Mona Lisa?

2013-08-13T21:00:00.000+05:30

This is the picture of Sharbat Gula that was featured in the April 2002 issue of the X magazine, 17 years after her first appearance on the cover of the same magazine. This photograph was taken by journalist Steve McCurry. The first photograph, titled The Y Z, appeared in June 1985 and has been likened to Leonardo da Vinci's painting of the Mona Lisa and is sometimes popularly referred to as "the Y Mona Lisa". The image of her face, with a red scarf draped loosely over her head and with her piercing sea-green eyes staring directly into the camera, became a symbol both of the conflict in her country and of the refugee situation worldwide during the 1980s. The image itself was named "the most recognized photograph" in the history of the magazine. It took Steve McCurry 17 years to locate her and the efforts put in the process were also captured in a TV Documentary titled "Search for the Y Z" which was eventually aired in March 2002.
