Guest question from Raghuvansh. Fully framed by him. Thanks sire, you’ve earned a GQHero Trophy!

X is a corrupt version of an extract from a work by 1. We know X for its ubiquitousness in a certain context.

X’s first non-tech usage in said context is thought to be in catalogs published by a company A which specialized in making 2, so much so that the A became a generic term for 2.

This non-tech use was duplicated in a tech form for the first time in a well-known software B which was originally made by a company C (named after 3). C merged with D (named after 4) some time ago and since then, B has been branded as a D product.

ID X. In case of joblessness, you may also try to ID all the other variables in the question.

Slightly Modified version of a guest question sent in by Dhruva Batni.

He is the first recipient of the trophy_silver GQHero trophy! Back-end changes for this trophy are in, but it may take while for it to appear on the profile page.

Now for the question
Any short wave radio enthusiast will eventually bump into stations which continuously transmit spooky stuff like this. What are these stations called?

Dibyo's 500 point quiz

—srikanth @ November 2, 2009

Congratulations are in order to Dibyo who recently reached (and crossed) the 500 point mark! Great work Mr D!

To mark and celebrate this, we contacted him for a question and he replied. However, he’s not sent one question, he’s sent nine. Yes, nine! And they’re not just “direct” questions, they are of a special format.

Dibyo’s 500 point quiz is a Stage-3 format quiz!

Format:
So, the format of this quiz: there are a total of nine questions. The answers to the first three questions are connected to each other (say C-1). The answers to the next three are connected (say C-2) and the final three are connected (say C-3). Further, C-1, C-2, and C-3 are connected, and this connect is the so-called “stage-3”.

Rules, points:
We will be posting three questions per day (all 3 questions in one post). So on each day, you can potentially win 4 points (1 for each answer + 1 point for the connect of the day). If you can get the stage-3 answer on day 1, you get 3 points. If you can get it on day 2 you get 2 points, and a single point for getting it on day 3. No negative marks for wrong guesses. One guess every day max. Please post your stage-3 guesses and as SEPARATE comments from your daily answers!


So, without further ado, here’s Set 1:

Set 1 » Question 1:

Set 1 » Question 2

Identify the logo

Set 1 » Question 3:

Who’s the manufacturer?

Some stage 2 cracks; no stage 3 cracks.

Answers:

  1. Squaresoft +Enix merger to make Square Enix
  2. IETF
  3. BMW

Stage 2 Connect: April fools pranks

—devadutta @ October 17, 2009

Today’s question comes from udupendra. This question is special. Not because it is framed differently, but because with this, he will hit 500 points on bb!

Awesome!

So, with another round of applause to udupendra, we give you today’s slightly involved guest question.
Here’s how it works -
Four crossword style cryptic clues, cracking which will lead you to a
stage-2 kind of a connect.

  1. This bond fellow is a nanogram more than the exclusion principle guy.
  2. Odd ranges discover protein structures
  3. Listen to the radio, sounds like he is barred in!
  4. Mother of Christ finds one in a cure.
