Which famous phrase originated from a puzzle where one has to connect 9 dots arranged in a square grid with 4 lines drawn continuously, without pen leaving the paper?

Think outside the box!

What piece of music?

The idea came up at the time when I was completely bereft of ideas. I'd been working on my own music for a while and was quite lost, actually. And I really appreciated someone coming along and saying, "Here's a specific problem solve it."

The thing from the agency said, "We want a piece of music that is inspiring, universal, blah-blah, da-da-da, optimistic, futuristic, sentimental, emotional," this whole list of adjectives, and then at the bottom it said "and it must be 3.25 seconds long."

I thought this was so funny and an amazing thought to actually try to make a little piece of music. It's like making a tiny little jewel.

In fact, I made 84 pieces. I got completely into this world of tiny, tiny little pieces of music. I was so sensitive to microseconds at the end of this that it really broke a logjam in my own work. Then when I'd finished that and I went back to working with pieces that were like three minutes long, it seemed like oceans of time.

Any guesses now? (I probably look like a fool if someone already got it) points if you get it now

Runner up for the name was Ike, suggested by founder Syd Cassyd. In this case, he was naming it after the Iconoscope tube, which incidentally got its name from the Greek (image). So even had it been named Ike, it would have still ultimately been named after image. Ike was rejected as members thought that people would think the name was coined after Dwight D. Eisenhower. Pioneering TV engineer (and third American Academy of Television Arts President) Harry Lubcke suggested that the name Y be used, named after the image orthicon tube that was nicknamed the Y. The Academy members liked it, but felt is should be more feminine, to match the statuette, so switched it to the name X, a very slight change from the original Y.Gimme X and Y

In 1880 Captain Charles X was managing land in Ireland when poor harvests struck. The lord whose lands he was managing offered to reduce the rents of his tenants, but the offer was unsatisfactory. The tenants then refused to have anything to do with Captain X. The lands were left untended, shops would not sell to his family, and post was not delivered to his house. Supplies were shipped to the estate from England since no one would deal with him in Ireland. In the end the protest was successful .The word X in term became synonymous with targeted ostracismGimme X

The Xs, or Society of Friends, are a Christian denomination with a long history of social reformation. Xs played a strong role in the abolition of slavery and many philanthropic businessmen of the Victorian era were Xs. Founded by George Fox as an alternative to Church of England worship in the 17th century the Society of Friends was soon named Xs. How did they get this name? Two stories exist. The first is that early followers of Fox were so taken with religious mania that they shook(in context shook is a synonym of X), while they preached. The other supposed origin of the term comes from Foxs autobiography. Charged with blasphemy for his new theology Fox was taken before the magistrates. Fox was defiant and bade them tremble at the word of the Lord. One of the magistrates retorted that the only person to X in the court was Fox himself.

X is also the name of an American food conglomerate based in Chicago, founded by Henry Parsons Crowell in 1888 and has been owned by pepsico since 2001

Xs were once a highly fashionable form of art which displayed their subjects in outline with no other features. Portraits of this type have the benefit of being cheap and quick to make compared to painted portraits. During the Seven Years War the state of French finances became parlous. The finance minister of the time was Etienne de X who, to save the French economy was forced to put in place harsh measures to raise funds. The nobility and clergy who were normally not called on to pay taxes but Silhouette levied taxes on various luxuries which hit the wealthy. Because of this he was ridiculed and forced from his position. His name became attached to anything seen as cheap. When profile portraits became popular they were sneered at as cheap (or to use the French la X) and the name stuck.

When it debuted in 1888 , it was a drab scientific publication of 98 pages wrapped in a plain brown cover. Thats how it remained for 16 years when the printer told the editor Gilbert H. Grosvenor that he had 11 pages to fill. Grosvenor grabbed a package from the imperial Russian Geographical Society containing some of the first photographs of Lhasa, Tibet, which was then considered one of worlds most exotic places. He selected 11 and sent them to the printer , certain he would be fired and ridiculed. When the issue came out in January 1905, the opposite happened. People stopped Grosvenor on the streets to congratulate him. This led to the birth of ______?
