It comes in various forms and each has its own effects. These include White, Pink, Red, Blue, Black, Silver, Gold, Jewel, Slow, Magno etc. Synthetic versions have also been made with their own effects. Despite the matching name, it was never suggested that X had any connection with Y, though this now seems to be the case. Long term exposure to X can have adverse effects on humans and can lead to cancer. ID X

Aishwayra, Anannya and Namratha got it right in that order.

#8. Straightforward!

What excuse did Sri Lanka give for their loss when they lost the 2001 Champions Trophy(Not the current one, it was just a name of a Sharjah tournament in those days)?

Answer: They blamed their loss on their tight-fitting clothing. According to captain Sanath Jayasuria, their kit was too small and restricted their movement and mobility in the field. He described the team’s shirts as tight-fitting women’s blouses. The team’s tailor was subsequently instructed to make their kits one size larger but it was too late to avert defeat in the showpiece final! :D
Prachi and Sarath got this one right.
