This is used to check a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human. In the original illustrative example, a human judge
engages in natural language conversations with a human and a machine designed to generate performance indistinguishable
from that of a human being. If the judge cannot reliably tell the machine from the human, the machine is said to have passed the test; it checks how closely the answer resembles typical
human answers. What is the term used for this.(Image follows)

First use of this term in its present meaning was by Horace Mann (dated 28 January 1754) .He said he formed it from a
Persian fairy tale. The term used extensively in scientific communities stems from an old name for Sri Lanka(aka
Ceylon). Parts of Sri Lanka were under the rule of South Indian kings-cheras for extended periods of time in history. “The island belonging to cheras” were called ------ by Arab traders. From this
word the term evolved.Which term am I referring to?

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that results in a chronic,systemic inflammatory disorder that
may affect many tissues and organs, but principally attacks flexible (synovial) joints. It can be a disabling and painful
condition, which can lead to substantial loss of functioning and mobility if not adequately treated.Who ,in the world of cricket is perhaps the most famous person suffering from
this disease (This lead to something dramatic!)
Billy Bowden,& his signalling "crooked finger of doom”
He was famous during his times as a mathematician. He wrote the influential Treatise on Demonstration of Problems of
Algebra (1070), which laid down the principles of algebra. he wrote on the triangular array of binomial coefficients known
as Pascal's triangle. In 1077 he wrote Explanations of the Difficulties in the Postulates of Euclid.Legendary malayali poet G.Shankarakkurup translated some of his works to malayalam.

ABCD?10 for each-Bonus 10 for all
ABCD?A was an Indian-American science fiction film in development in the late 1960s which was eventually cancelled. It was to be directed by B and co-
produced by Hollywood studio Columbia Pictures. When the Hollywood film C was produced in 1982 by the same company that had contracted with B ,B claimed similarities in the movie to earlier script . B discussed the collapse of the project in a 1980 Sight & Sound feature. B believed that D’s film "would not have been possible without my script
of A being available throughout America in mimeographed copies." When the issue was raised by the press, D denied this claim and said "I was a kid in high
school when his script was circulating in Hollywood."

The large numbers of those who participated in the armed struggle or the non-cooperation movement in India could not be accommodated
in ordinary jails. The British Government decided to establish a few detention camps; the first one was located in Buxar Fort followed by
the creation of the Hijli Detention Camp in 1930. A significant moment in the struggle against British rule occurred at The Hijli Detention Camp
on Sept. 16, 1931 when two unarmed detainees, Santosh Kumar Mitra and Tarakeswar Sengupta, were shot dead by the British Police and Subhas Chandra Bose came to Hijli to collect their
bodies.Tell me the role of The Hijili Detention camp in science & Technology history of India.(Image follows)

"There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom" was a lecture given by physicist Richard Feynman at an American Physical Society meeting at Caltech on December 29, 1959. Feynman concluded his talk with two challenges.1) construction of a tiny motor2) the entire Encyclopedia Britannica on the head of a pinThis lecture is considered as the starting point of an entirely new branch in material science. Which branch?

an interminable neck that sprouted from a collar that was much too large... I made A a mini-Q, otherwise I would have had to

Using a scanning tunneling microscope,Carbon monoxide molecules were manipulated into place on a
copper substrate with a copper needle at a distance of 1 nanometer.They remain in place, forming a bond with the
substrate because of the extremely low temperature of 5 K (−268.15 °C, −450.67 °F) at which the device operates.
[ The oxygen component of each molecule shows up as a dot when photographed by the scanning tunneling microscope,
allowing the creation of images composed of many such dots.created 242 still images with 65 carbon monoxide molecules.
Each frame measures 45 by 25nanometers. It took four researchers two weeks of 18-hour days to complete the task.

X is a disorienting neurological condition that affects human perception. Sufferers may
experience micropsia, macropsia, or size distortion of other sensory modalities. A temporary condition, it is often associated with migraines, brain tumors, and the use of psychoactive drugs.
The symptoms of X are fairly common in childhood,Xcan be caused by abnormal amounts of electrical activity causing
abnormal blood flow in the parts of the brain that process visual perception and texture.X got the name from a famous literary
work by Y.According to John todd Y was was a well-known migraine sufferer with similar symptoms.Id X,Y

Which famous problem is connected to this image (Shows the map of a city in prussia
(Now Kaliningrad, Russia) highliting Pregel River
bridges of konigsberg ProblemThe problem was to find a walk through the city that would cross each bridge once and only once. The islands could not be reached by any route other than the bridges, and every bridge must have been crossed completely every time; one could not walk halfway onto the bridge and then turn around and later cross the other half from the other side. The walk need not start and end at the same spot.

(1) 2 NaN3 → 2 Na + 3 N2 (g)(2) 10 Na + 2 KNO3 → K2O + 5 Na2O + N2 (g)(3) K2O + Na2O + 2 SiO2 → K2O3Si + Na2O3Si
The first reaction is the decomposition of NaN3 under high temperature conditions using an electric impulse. This impulse generates to 300 °C temperatures required for the decomposition of the NaN3 which produces Na metal and N2 gas. Since Na metal is highly reactive, the KNO3 and SiO2 react and remove it, in turn producing more N2 gas. The second reaction shows just that. The reason that KNO3 is used rather than something like NaNO3 is because it is less hygroscopic. It is very important that the materials used in this reaction are not hygroscopic because absorbed moisture can de-sensitize the system and cause the reaction to fail. The final reaction is used to eliminate the K2O and Na2O produced in the previous reactions because the first-period metal oxides are highly reactive. These products react with SiO2 to produce a silicate glass which is a harmless and stable compound.
