The first X were made in Italy at about 1286, according to a

sermon delivered on February 23, 1306, by the Dominican friar

Giordano da Pisa: "It is not yet twenty years since there was

found the art of making Xs, which corrects the problem...And it

is so short a time that this new art, never before extant, was

discovered...I saw the one who first discovered and practiced it,

and I talked to him.” It is not clear when and where the

technology was invented. It has been said that Marco Polo

reported seeing many Xs in China as early as 1275.

Q-10

Laccetti (professor of humanities at Stevens Institute of

chances of employment for students who use such slang,

stating that, "Unfortunately for these students, their bosses

will not be ‘(the answer)' when they read a report that

lacks proper punctuation and grammar, has numerous

misspellings, various made-up words, and silly acronyms.“

What is ‘the answer’?

Q-11 ID X.

X is an open world game that has no specific goals for the

player to accomplish, allowing players a large amount of

freedom in choosing how to play the game. However, there is

an achievement system. Gameplay by default is first person, but

players have the option to play in third person mode. The core

gameplay revolves around breaking and placing blocks. The

game world is composed of rough 3D objects—mainly cubes—

arranged in a fixed grid pattern and representing different

materials, such as dirt, stone, various ores, water, and tree trunks.

While players can move freely across the world, objects can only

be placed at fixed locations on the grid. Players can gather

these material blocks and place them elsewhere, thus allowing

for various constructions.

the X and several figures of children dressed in white.
