Question # 291

When AK was listening to the scratch version of a song from his new film, during a line 'ib ke hovega agge yaar', he misheard 'agge yaar' as 'Q'. He then added the word 'P' before it, and asked his composers to make it into a song, creating pop culture history. According to AK, 'That's the entire film in those two words.'

What on earth is PQ then?

Question # 288

August Horch used to manufacture $%^*s under his family name. In 1909 he was forced out of this business, so he set up a new company under the SAME name, totally pissing his former partners off, who thereby rained copyright infringement on his sorry derriere. He had to call in a meeting at his friend Franz Fikentscher's (say that five times) house to decide on a new name. Franz's son suggested 'Yo, lets call it Y. Why Y? Because "Horch" in German means "listen", which is "Y" in Latin!'. And the name stuck.

Enlightenez moi with the ID of Y.

Question # 286

This is one of the most famous scenes in cinema history. It was shot from December 17 to December 23, 1959, and features between 71 and 78 angles (the exact number is unknown). The scene "runs 3 minutes and includes 50 cuts." Most of the shots are extreme close-ups, except for medium shots directly before and directly after the incident depicted. The combination of the close shots with the short duration between cuts makes the sequence feel longer, more subjective, more uncontrolled, and more violent than would the images if they presented alone or in a wider angle.
